Just wondering what everyone's hospital policy is. We are a small community hospital and take call from home. We currently require the OB (or their midwife) to be in the building when we place a labor epidural. Obviously, the OB department has an issue with this policy and wants it revoked.
Any thoughts? ASA says OB physician has to be readily available, but that is open to interpretation.
