hi i know this is off the track but i would like to know if it is common practice in all SCBU that you do a rectal temp on neonates when they are admitted. i know that there is evidence to state this practice is not good and that we should be doing tympanic temps as they are far more accurate

Hi all, Has anyone used/advised evening primrose oil vaginally to ripen the cervixof overdue women? If so, what dose? Is the capsule of oil opened first or does it disolve once inserted. Any studies done on this procedure at all? What are the possible side effectsand hazards? How "overdue"
