We have been pulling our own (for 30yrs apparently), but have just started having the nurses pull them for us. I'm torn. In general, it will save time and hassle, but there are a couple potentially bad scenarios that I can think of(pulling the epidural on a thrombocytopenic (pre-ex) or coagulopathic (DIC) patient). What do you do?
