When performing an epidural blood patch, you may not be concurrently medically directing or supervising an anesthetist for any type of case. The epidural blood patch is considered a procedure, similar to a surgeon performing an operation. You are allowed to be the physician of record on a labor epidural that is running. Be sure to hand off any cases you are currently on prior to the start time for an epidural blood patch.
