Re: RE: Ultrasound on units....

[Guest guest]

At our hospital we use the sonogram unofficially. That means we don't chart

that we did it. The Dr comes in & has the final say & that is when it is

documented that a sono was done to confirm position, etc. We are not

" trained " , but some of us have experience from being there for so many years.

I tell my patients that the ultrasound is not in my field, but I know enough

to call the Dr to investigate further. I would never announce we are going

for a section for breech, until the Dr comes to confirm it, but I would warn

the pt. that it looks like a possibility.
