pitocin protocol

[mommanurse]

I'm just curious how what the pit protocol is at other facilities.

We once had a doctor who thought running pit up to 40 was okay. we didnt agree. he even said we could go up to 60 if cervical changes were not being made, he never worried about hyperstim... wondering if anyone else has seen doctors so aggressive and possibly dangerous with pitocin orders.

Forgot to mention that our protocol is 10 units pit in 1000cc lr start at 1-2 mu and increase every 15-20 minutes until uc are so far apart lasting so often ( standing orders and they fill in the blanks) to a maximum of.....(whatever)
