Pain Relief,in USA ,Canada etc,?

In Oregon, the standard practice is to give the patient Oxygen while being assessed if it is away from the hospital, unless we suspect the patient has COPD. then it is a patient by patient basis. In the emergency room, it depends largely on the case and doctor. In our labor rooms, we have O2 available, but don't give it to every patient. There are machines that check o2 saturation levels constantly, and while I don't put all my faith in the machines, I think that is why we don't go straight to o2 in the labor rooms. Many moms to be hate having a mask or tube and that is true with most everyone. I think the epidurals are a cultural thing. Some come in and expect the entire labor to be pain free as soon as they hit the bed. Others come it and relish in the full childbirth experience- pain and all. I have seen one girl come in and be in labor 34 hours before we could talk her into having an epidural so she could relax a bit. Not an hour after the epidural was given that baby came out. It does seems that birthing centers are basing much of thier practice on customer service and less on actual health of thier patients.

Many patients have good saturation levels during traumatic emergencies that don't result in blood loss, and may get more traumatized having masks and tanks put on. teach a man to fish, and he will be able to eat. Teach a man to concentrate on his breathing, and he will be less focused on his injured toe. :)
