2 With Epidural Anesthesia Page: 2 of 5 DEFINITIONS: Epidural Catheter: A soft, silastic catheter placed in the epidural space. Continuous Epidural Infusion: Analgesic administered via a closed infusion pump into an epidural catheter at a rate/quantity specified by qualified, credentialed, licensed anesthesia care provider (anesthesiologist, certified registered nurse anesthetist [CRNA]), and monitored by the same. PROCEDURE: 1. Verify epidural order set in SCM 2. Obtain appropriate lab-work ordered. The anesthesia care provider may review blood-work prior to procedure. 3. Continuous epidural solutions will be handled as all other controlled substances. The anesthesia care provider will sign out for the ordered substance for each patient. Two licensed nurses must countersign any wasted drugs. Pharmacy will stock epidural solutions in the Pyxis Medstations. Independent verification is required with the RN and CRNA/Anesthesiologist prior to initiating the pump. Document this verification in EMR. 2. Ensure proper patient identification and time out procedure, document in the EMR. 3. Administer prophylactic intravenous bolus of non-glucose containing, isotonic crystalloid solution (Lactated Ringers) as ordered. 4. Upon initiation of epidural infusion the LDR RN and CRNA will independently verify that the epidural tubing has been traced from the origin site in the patient to the pump to ensure that the tubing is connected to the epidural catheter. The RN will document the verification in EMR. 5. A label marked epidural must be on the filter of the epidural catheter. In addition, a yellow Epidural sign will be visual above the head of the bed. 6. Assess baseline maternal vital signs and fetal heart pattern. If a Category II or III FHR pattern is identified, or a change in Category is recognized initiate corrective measures as needed and notify the primary care provider and Anesthesia. 7. Encourage the patient to void prior to epidural initiation. 8. CRNA, LDR RN and the patient will don a mask during insertion of the epidural catheter. 9. Provide positioning assistance and emotional support to the woman during epidural initiation procedure. 10. If possible, assess the fetal heart rate during the procedure. If nonreassuring FHR pattern is identified, initiate corrective measures as needed and notify the primary care provider and anesthesia 11. Assess fetal heart rate and maternal vital signs approximately every 2 minutes for the first minutes after the procedure. The frequency of subsequent assessment should be based on maternalfetal response to medication, maternal-fetal condition, and the stage of labor. Vital signs will be documented every 30 minutes for the duration of infusion per the intrapartum management of labor.
3 With Epidural Anesthesia Page: 3 of 5 Pulse oxygenation will be obtained during epidural insertion per anesthesia. 12. Facilitate the maternal position. After the procedure maintain uterine displacement using semi-fowler s position with hip wedge or lateral position. Upright positioning may be utilized once initial dose has taken effect. 13. Assess for complications that may be associated with epidural initiation. Local anesthetic toxicity: Assess for drowsiness, light headedness, tinnitus, circumoral paresthesis, metallic taste, slurred speech, blurred vision, unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiac dysrhythmias and/or cardiac arrest. High spinal: Assess for numbness or weakness of the upper extremities, dyspnea, weak speech or inability to speak, apnea, and/or loss of consciousness. Notify anesthesia immediately. Initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation as needed. Maternal hypotension: Position mother in lateral position, administer IV fluid bolus as ordered, and notify anesthesia and/or primary care provider. 14. Continue to evaluate maternal pain levels with ongoing patient assessments. Assess for pruritis if an opioid was given. 15. Bladder distension caused by a decrease in the woman s sensation to void may be a side effect of epidural anesthesia. The bladder should be palpated regularly, and she should be encouraged to void. Intermittent catheterization or a Foley catheter may be needed per provider order if the woman s bladder is distended and she is unable to void. 16. Epidural may be removed post recovery period by an OB nurse unless otherwise ordered. Nurse to document removal and verify that black tip is intact in EMR. RESPONSIBILITY: 1. It is the responsibility of the Director of Women s and Children s Services to see that nursing personnel are aware of, and adhere to, this department policy.
