That’s impractical with Endotool tho...you’re checking sugars anywhere from q30 mins to q2 hrs. No second check...only a few Antepartum nurses know how to use the program!

I do insulin drips with a limit of 4 patients. We use Endotool and BS checks are as short asq15 mins to 2 hrs ( rarely).

error in typing. I meant to type Previa.

Thank you for your response ?

Yes its actually a great program. You type in the blood sugar result and it tells you what to set the pump to and when to retest!

So do you only check reflexes ect on your initial assessment. I’m not sure if your pt is there for let’s say a Previn....why you would do these checks q 4 hrs?

I’ve googled and not found an answer yet?

I guess no one knows?

They will be...I was just hoping to gain some knowledge first here. I think I already know but wanted to see if I was missing anything...

Can an OB pt get chorio w/no fever?

Anyone?

OK thanks anyway...not sure why I can’t get input...

So I’m hoping some of the experienced Ante nurses can add their thoughts. Im upset that my “accusers” won’t say anything to me, but run to the manager. Also it’s like they’re being protected. I feel they should come to me if they think I’m not doing something the way they think I should? how can I change my practice IF they don’t say what they are thinking. im thinking I need to approach the NM and tell her this but honestly, I’m afraid. I’ve been done dirty in the past by management and I want to retire from this job!

So....we use a program called Endotool which tells us, according to what the BS is...what to set the drip to and when to check it next. I have 4 pts. Not allowed to go higher if I’m running ENDOTOOL.

Hello? Anyone?
