Questions: 1. Do you circulate your c sections? Does your unit provide the scrub tech & baby nurse also? Yes...we also are trained to scrub & assist as RNs, & we have a neonatologist and a...
We give 500 LR with 30 units of Pit infusing to gravity as soon as the placenta is delivered. Most of our docs have standing orders and expect the RN to start free-flowing Pit as soon as we hear them...
