Gotosleep, I am a Bradley grad myself. Not in nursing anesthesia, but in English. Still, small world!

Randy, I am doing mine on using pre-emptive analgesics( Vioxx) to decrease post-op pain med use on lap-chole procedures. I had a friend of mine that graduated that used morphine paste to the spinal cord during LUM-LAM's to decrese post-op opioid use.
You always have the old throw back of doing post-op n/v study with different combo of meds and or N20. Lee

Avery good way to find research topics I have found in the last week is to look up papers that interest you, and read the end where the authors illucidate on further areas of study with the same spin. Now there is a runon, but I don't feel like fixing it.

Good luck.

In my humble opinion, working with OB patients will be difficult. IRB boards are leary of approving stuff as both baby and the mother are considered "populations at special risk" This is not just a physical thing but a mental one as the mother is considered suseptable to coercion. Also, Docs are leary of trying anything new. The hospital/doc must take additional risks in letting some unknown procedure, drug, dosage be used. lastly, screaming, men-hating, irrational subjects will be yours to study. Just a few words of warning, the students i know who studied OB patients were sorry they did.
