hi there, it is standard practice in our scbu, for all admissions.
i have questioned this practice several times and the answer is usually that 'its necessary to establish patency'!?! had a babe come from theatre last week covered in mec and the midwife asks me to do a pr temp! i question again, and she backtracks saying 'its the best way of establishing accurate core temp'. this is so clearly not evidence based practice - i find it so frustrating! i'm thinking of doing a lit review on it for uni and would be interested in other people's opinions/experiences/information. regards miriam 2nd year bmid fusa Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
