Yeah, but in order to put them to sleep, you need to give 100 mg of Demerol or 10-12 mg of morphine. Giving lesser doses generally doesn't put them to sleep and actually tends to worsen the problem. Also remember the normal length of the latent phase is up to 15 hours in Multips and 21 hours in primips.

I used to love to 'sleep' patients in latent labor. I usually said something like - "if you are really supposed to be in labor then the rest will let you get there - on the other hand if you are not really supposed to be in labor - but are contracting due to exhaustion, then the rest will let you stop having contractions that don't do anything and you can go home and await the real thing." They usually took the medicated sleep!

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.
