Back to the OP:
Add me to the camp that thinks an SAB after a failed attempt to bolus the epidural for section is a bad idea. I’ve seen it go high. Story time:
I was outta residency for a year or 2, and a new fresh grad had just started. He was starting a section for failure to progress, and I was gonna be in the next room over doing gyn cases.
He sees me and says:
“Hey, I bolused the epidural and don’t have a great level - what should I do”
Me:
“I’d just put her to sleep”
Him:
“I think I’m just go ahead and place a spinal”
Me:
“I don’t know, be careful with that. . .”
I go to start my case.
Later that afternoon:
Me:
“Hey, how’d that section go”
Him (real casual like):
“Oh it went fine. She was only apnic for a few minutes.”
Me:

PS: @nimbus , you know this guy. PM me and I’ll tell you who it is so you can make fun of him.
Now that I know I’m not surprised at all and I can’t stop laughing.
