I am looking for some help regarding a debate that we have to do in class (this is a group presentation). Anyways, we have to explain the use/advantages/disadvantages and blah, blah of medications used during the labor process. Anyways, we cannot find the incompatabilities of pain relief measures such as: epidurals, spinals. combined (walking), barbituates, H1 receptor agonists, opiods, opiod antagonist, local, puedendal, regional-paracervical, and saddle block. Can anyone guide us to websites that can help us answer these? Please? We have looked in our books, the nursing lab, and online and we have nothing.

My drug guide lists all drug incompatabilities. Don't you have a drug guide?

That's what I was wondering.
Are you looking for drug interactions or something more specific.

Does the unit that you have clinicals on have an incompatibility manual?
Ok, sorry. Yes, I do have a drug guide but none of us know what drugs are used for epidurals or any of the other things that we listed. Sorry.
oops.

yea, your drug guide will have that... as well as your OB book... takes a little busy work... but you'll be looking up drugs all thru nursing school, so...
