Re: epidural and foodFrom: Elrod, Darryl G Maj 48 MDOS/SGOBO (Darryl.elrod@LAKENHEATH.AF.MIL)Wed Sep 13 08:36:14 2006
I've only ever had patients on clears during labor. During early cytotec inductions I'll give them solids, but once they are active we'll switch to clears. I don't think our anesthesia department would not give someone an epidural if they had eaten, but I'm sure they would prefer them not to have had solids. Glen //SIGNED// D.

Their argument is fear of a high epidural and aspiration etc. Is this a common practice across the country??? Are most or our OB-gyns and midwives keeping patients on clear liquids only in labor??

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.
