For everyone that does OB, how many people do CSE if patient is in severe pain and to help get them comfier faster while epidural sets up? If you do what do you dose?
Who all utilizes a DPE for confirmation of epidural (especially on a difficult one)?
Does anyone utilize DPE to help with the local anesthetic translocation intrathecally in very small amount?
If you do not do either for any reason, is it you don’t think it is necessary and just increases risk? Facility policy? Or what is your reason?
