pain med...

Oh, how I wish facilities in the US would use Nitrous Oxide again! I don't understand why Canada, Europe, UK, etc use it, but not us. There's some great research out there on NO's effectiveness and satisfaction of mothers afterwards.

So its not used at all?

I've never seen it in obstetrics.
A lot of dentists use it, though.

We use Stadol 1mg and Phenergan 25mg IV q 4 h.

At the facility where I used to work, we gave Demerol 50 - 75 and Phenergan 25 IV q 3 - 4 hours or Stadol 1 - 2 mg q 2 - 3 hours.

I much prefer the Stadol. It seems to help with patient's pain much more than the Demerol ever thought of doing.
