Intravenous Access for Cesarean Delivery

Intravenous Access for Cesarean Delivery

In this episode, we discuss the importance of following intravenous access recommendations for cesarean deliveries with Dr. Scott Seki at his institution. How do Dr. Seki and his colleagues define adequate intravenous access? Which patients are more or less likely to receive the recommended IV access? What are the patient implications if we fail to provide the recommended IV access? These are some of the questions we explored during this podcast. By the end of the episode, I began reevaluating the significance and sometimes implicit implications of not adhering to the recommended IV access standards.
