Just wondering if this happens at other hospitals. I work WBN & NICU, so I don't understand all L& D ! We had a crash section the other night with mom only having a local anesthetic!!!!!:imbar I wasn't working (Thank Goodness). But I understand that anesthesia couldn't get to the meds because his key was bent. FHR had dropped to the 40's, and the baby was born 12 min. after it dropped. The baby was just transitioned with O2 hood, and ended up going to WBN the next day!
This is the 2nd section under local in the 2 & 1/2 years that I've worked here. We do about 800 deliveries a year. does this happen anywhere else???!!!
