Post C/S assessments

We are re-looking at our Postpartum management Protocol in regards to frequency of assessments post c/s. Currently, for the post op c/s we do vital signs, fundal checks, incision assessments and breath sounds every four hours x 48 hours and then every 8 hrs until discharge if there are no issues.

I would appreciate any feedback from other institutions.

Thanks,

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.
