Nexplanon:

This is one of the most popular birth control methods postpartum on the OB Unit. It is an insertable 3-year capsule and can only be inserted by a specially trained (and certified) provider. This can usually be arranged for the patient within a 24 hour (or sooner) period.

Induction:

See the new Induction Policy in the NWing Doc’s Office in the “Induction Book.” The YKHC Clinical Guidelines (2011) concerning this are not current.

Episiotomy:

See the same topic above under “Deliveries”

Vacuum assist/extraction:

See the same topic above under “Deliveries”

Repair of Vaginal Delivery Lacerations:

1st and some 2nd degree lacerations may not need repair if hemostasis evident and anatomy is intact (e.g. peri-urethral, vaginal wall).

3rd and 4th degree lacerations repairs usually require HROB presence.
