That's what we ended up doing but it would only work when she was in one position. Of course she needed to change positions frequently due to chronic lower body pain. Intermittent monitoring made it stressful especially after intrathecal was given. We don't do epidurals. I was relieved when she was dilated enough for ISE!
Hi Everyone, Does anyone have a protocol out there on best practices regarding labor management of the morbidly obese woman who cannot be monitored externally and who is not dilated enough for internal monitoring? Any help is appreciated!! Thank you!!
