We usually see excellent results with Zofran also, not in this case. We typically use 4 mg IV q4, now up to 8 mg q6 with this gal and no results :( Dieticians have suggested small bore continuous tube feeds, pt usually has to be pretty miserable before they (the pt) agree. The idea of a post-pyloric feed is intriguing, I will definitely bring it up. Also acupuncture was suggested by one of the listers which would also be an excellent option here in Hawaii---depends on the cost though since HMSA won't cover it. Aloha and mahalo for all the suggestions ginny

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.
