Hi Kylie
we actually give 5IU synto diluted in 10mls Normal saline, then flush
that through with a flush.
In the short time I have been in Middy even when we gave it not
diluted, it was still flushed.

give synto, then I guess you should flush the line.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] IV Synto for 3rd stage
Hi all
I'm a Mid student (who has finally finished all her birth
requirements...yay!) and this issue has only just come up for me over
the
last week or two. For the first time in two years, a midwife I was
working
with pointed out the importance of flushing through the synto if you
have
given it IV, if there was no drip running to flush it through.
This obviously makes sense, because if you don't flush it, the synto
will
just sit in the J loop or IV line. However, I had never actually seen
a
midwife do this before. Over the next few days I asked a few midwives
what
they do, and the responses I got ranged from "Why on earth would you
need to
do that?" to "Yes, of course you need to flush it!"
Any thoughts on this topic?
Kylie
