How much Fentanyl??

[JaneyW]

For those using Fentanyl for labor pain, what are the doses?? How much how often?? Our unit uses Demerol/phen 50/25 and I am feeling the need to update. I will be researching what to maybe switch to and have heard that Fentanyl is the 'new thing'. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! And yes, I know this is a doc decision, but it is a teaching hospital with no standing orders and they look to us for suggestions. I would like to be able to suggest something new.

I enjoyed this one for some reason. She is a bit more feisty, if you can believe that...and since she is taking a year off, she has that devil may care attitude. I always come away with "AH HA" moments and scribbles in my book by the ton. I hope you find it as enjoying.

Dr. Murray is AMAZING period. I am very excited to attend this conference next month.
