In my neck of the woods fully dilated with epidural for three hours is OK, but not pushing! I had assumed in the original posting that she had got to three hours either because of neglect or refusal of intervention by patient.

ACOG, FWIW, says 3 hours in a primigravida with an epidural is OK. I believe you could go longer if mom and babe are well, with diminishing return. Garry -- Garry E. Siegel, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

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.
