Once an epidural catheter has been inserted in a laboring client the assessment that would be performed are: maintaining intravenous fluid administration, oxygen availability in case of hypotension, checking the bladder for distention every 2 hours and monitoring fetal heart rate.
Epidural catheter is a tube like structure that is placed inside the epidural space of the spine under the skin. It is generally inserted to give the body a dose of anesthesia.
Hypotension is the condition of low blood pressure. It generally causes fainting or dizziness. Hypotension during pregnancy or labor pain is very common.
