Anesthesia for Tubal LigationFrom: Don Shuwarger, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. (obdoc@inmind.com)Tue Jul 2 16:58:34 1996
Dear Listees: Sometime ago I posted a questionnaire on anesthesia choices for postpartum tubal ligation. Below is a reprint of that questionnaire with the results summarized. "The Ob's and Anesthesia are discussing the methods of anesthesia used for postpartum tubal ligations. Question: If a patient, without an already functioning epidural, delivers and goes for a postpartum tubal ligation in the following 24 - 48 hrs, what is the USUAL [that given to most patients without special needs or circumstances] method of anesthesia in YOUR hospital? A. Epidural B. Spinal C. General by face mask D. General Endotracheal E. Local + Managed Anesthesia Care (MAC) F. Something else Please respond to my email address, obdoc@inmind.com and I will collate the results and post them back to the list. Thanks for your participation. Please also indicate your hospital affiliation and the approximate number of deliveries done in your institution." There were 16 respondents. Three respondents were from outside North America. Six respondents indicated that a regional anesthetic, e.g. spinal or epidural was the method usually employed in their hospital. Ten respondents indicated that general endotracheal anesthesia was preferred in their hospital. Respondents represented hospitals doing little (30 - 100), moderate (100 - 500) and large (>500) deliveries per month. There was no special difference between the size of the hospital and the type of anesthesia prefered. Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. -- =================================================================== Don Shuwarger, 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.
