Specializes in Antepartum, L&D, Postpartum.

Although many of these medications are not stored in the delivery room, they are commonly (some much more so than others) used during labor at the facility I work at -

I would add:

Oxygen

Erythromycin Eye Ointment (for baby)

Terbutaline (tocolytic)

Magnesium sulfate (toxemia & preterm labor)

Nifedipine (tocolytic used in preterm labor)

Fetanyl (opioid)

Epidural medications (duramorph, -caines, others)

Ephedrine (to treat hypotension associated with anaesthesia)

Bicitra (for unplanned c-section)

Multiple IV antibiotics

I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of right now.
