I'm just interested in knowing how many of you give Pitocin (10u) post delivery, either IM or IVP? And do you give it before or after the placenta delivers?
Specializes in Specializes in L/D, newborn, GYN, LTC, Dialysis.
We deliver 20 UNITS in one liter of LR via IV route---this is routine. We only give IM pit if heavy bleeding is happening NO IV is present to deliver it. This is not often. If we have to give pit IM, also we give 20 units.
