Hi Justine,
You're right...the issue could be worked around by offering the mother a
choice by giving her the facts. Then if she doesn't consent to it you could
document it as such, ie "Mother did not consent to PR temp on the baby,
therefore PA temp was taken" or something like that.
I have found this whole conversation fascinating...I have had most of my
placements at two of the bigger hospitals in this state, and both insist on
PR temps. It made me assume that most hospitals still had this policy,
despite evidence to the contrary.
OK, next big question...anyone got references off the top of their heads to
support this? I promise I will do my own research (!), but if anyone knows
of any articles that would be great!
Kylie

hi kylie re whats been chatting on about
you probably were at the same hospital. large teritary. but if it is
hospital protocol and you are found not to be doing the protocol then it is
your job which would you prefer.

Gee What about some lateral thinking!
How about informing women about evidence and appropriate care, and giving
them a choice!!!
Slow in-roads to change but a least a chance of it when midwives work with
women to inform and support them rather than with obstetric dominance that
dictates and abuses
