Yesterday I had to do a blood patch and heard from the nurse a prior attending came up to do one up on the step down ward after the mom delivered. I insisted she come to PACU or back to the L&D unit so she could get monitoring and be near all the safety equipment rather than me taking my equipment to her, even if she's just monitored during the procedure and for 30 mins after then sent back to her room. It would have been more convenient to do it on the ward as the charge nurse needed to deploy a nurse for supervision of the patient in the recovery room. Is this too conservative of a move?
