Re: Fevers following an epiduralFrom: MKKMD@aol.comWed Apr 17 15:43:31 1996
I do not think its that simple. We do about 100 epidurals a month and the anesthesiologists use the same technique and solutions. We see one or two maternal temps with no other reason than epidural placement or labor or whatever that resolve without any intervention within 8-12 hours of delivery. We work them up minimally in labor (beta strep etc) but do not get terribly aggressive with big gun antibiobics unless they persist over 12 hours or go really high. Mary in Nebraska

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.
