In your area they must still be using the sharp needles that cut through the dura rather than the Whitacre / blunt tip that spreads the fibers of the dural sheath. With this type of needle we rarely see a spinal HA. The patient can be up as soon as it wears off. Or for the patient who has had the intrathecal narcotics for labor pain - she is able to be up and walking immediately with excellent pain relief but without the motor weakness of an epidrual.

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.
