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.

momandstudent 237 Posts Feb 16, 2009 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.

netglow, ASN, RN 4,412 Posts Feb 17, 2009 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...
