Why so many interventions ??????

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

Hi, I just recently returned to L&D (26 yrs experience), and now I remember why I left !!! Too many inductions, too much interference, too many interventions !! Doesn't anyone have a baby anymore without Cytotec, an IV, Pit, Epidural,C/Section ???? I remember when women could walk around the unit, we checked heart tones q 15-30 minutes, they didn't have to have an IV, they could drink clear liquids !! Is there anyone else out there who is fed up with the way labor is "managed" ?????

Specializes in LDRP.

but I said "it's on your routine orders so I thought it was ok" ... she didn't even KNOW it was on there.

we had an attending physician who supervises residents not know that 10L 02 by mask was a standing order for decels. when we told him it was a standing order, he goes "for everyone? you dont have everyone on O2" and we're like, no, for decels.

he thought maybe it was 2L. lol.
