I am trying to research the benifits of IV hydration during the labor/delivery. Specifically the benifits/disadvantages of using Dextrose 5% Lactated Ringers and Lactated Ringers during labor, together or exculsively. Does the use of D5LR decrease the incidence of labor dystocia and cesarean sections? I understand that there is a study on this. What are other nurses using in L&D? What are your protocols? What do physicians recommend. Currently we do not have a specific protocol at my hospital and are trying to implement one. Any help would be appreciated. I will be searching the internet for studies/articles, but am interested in other nurses perspectives on this.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
