You will frequntly 10-20% need anesthesia for vaginal delivery in twins( as in crash induction (Maybe only 5%) so you will want to do no twins in a room that has no anesthesia machine. You should also probably have 2 OB's for a twin delivery. The most experienced one manipulating the ultrasound and 2nd baby while the other is delivering first baby.

Our hospital is trying to devise a protocol regarding vaginal delivery of twins. Assuming vertex/vertex, vertex/transverse, Ultrasound in room

36 bed, level I, no 24 hour in house anesth or OR crew, two ORs only, no OR dedicated to L&D,

possibilities

1) labor and deliver in LDR, no anesth or OR crew present 2) labor and deliver in LDR , anesth & OR in house and ready for c/s 3) labor in LDR until ready to deliver, then transfer to OR (assuming one is available) 4) any other suggestions?

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.
