Epidurals soon to be CNA wins offered at Greater Regional six awards in INA contest

By BAILEY POOLMAN istered nurse anesthetists manner.”

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Do you ever wonder how much pain a woman is in when her baby is about to be born? Many at Greater Regional Medical Center have, and are soon going to offer labor epidurals to counteract that pain.

Currently, options include breathing techniques, IV medications and intrathecal injections, but during the spring, the labor epidurals will be available to mothers.

“We want our local moms-to-be to know that this is an option. We’re listening to them,” said LouAnn S n o dgrass, Greater Regional executive director. “ I t ’ s Snodgrass something that’s been voiced as a concern, and we’re addressing it. We’ll have it in place in the very near future.”

Epidurals

Epidurals are nothing new to the certified reg-

(CRNA) at Greater Regional. Brian Gutmann, CRNA, said he and his coworkers do an average of 220 epidural steroid injections (ESIs) for chronic pain each year, a number t h a t has increased dramatically in the past few years.

W h e n Gutmann labor epidurals will be available in the coming spring, the only difference between ESIs and labor epidurals are women in labor will have a catheter stay in their spine to give continuous medication, rather than only getting one shot.

“We don’t know an exact date yet,” Gutmann said.

“We’re in the process of researching the equipment that’s going to be needed, the training that’ll be needed, the staff. We have a meeting set in early March to discuss it with all the medical staff, like all the policies and procedures, and to make sure we can do it in a safe and effective

A labor epidural is a pain management option for women who are in the throes of labor. A catheter is put in the spine in the epidural space outside the dura mater, a membrane to help protect the spinal cord. The catheter stays there and allows a continuous flow of pain medication to the birthing mother.

Labor epidurals were not offered in the past because of the amount of manpower it takes to create a safe environment for the birthing mother. However, anesthetists and obstetrical and gynecological staff have increased at Greater Regional.

Comparisons Currently, the other two medicinal options are intravenous (IV) medications, which go into the bloodstream, and intrathecal services, which is similar to a labor epidural, but is pushed in past the dura mater, where the medication bathes the nerve roots.

The intrathecal procedure, however, only lasts about 2-4 hours. Currently, Greater Regional averages between 60 and 70 intrathecal procedures a year,

“We want our local moms-tobe to know that this is an option.

We’re listening to them. It’s something that’s been voiced as a concern, and we’re addressing it. We’ll have it in place in the very near future.”

Executive director at Greater Regional

and Gutmann expects that number to increase when labor epidurals will be available because, instead of waiting until their pain is at its worst, women will opt for the intrathecal earlier in labor and then opt for a labor epidural after.

“The epidural is probably the Cadillac or gold standard of labor analgesia,” Gutmann said. “And, the intrathecal’s a real GRMC | 2A

ISU students experiment with new technology AMES — A team of MBA students from Iowa State University is investigating the impact of a new technology that brings additional content to print journalism.

Katelyn Bell, Sagar Raj, Tanner Reed and Jake Waddingham selected the Creston News Advertiser as a test platform for an app that will allow readers to see ad-

ditional content on the newspaper through a smartphone or tablet.

“We first learned about the mobile augmented reality in our management of information systems class,” said Reed. “The challenge was to use the technology offered in the app to improve a service.

Our team thought the newspaper industry was a great fit.”

The free app is called “Layar” and it is designed to bridge the gap between print media and online browsing. The program was designed in 2009 and instantly gained traction as one of the first mobile augmented reality browsers on the market.

“Layar” is based out of Amsterdam and has worked with familiar

good Chevy.”

Labor epidural kits at Greater Regional will include pumps, a catheter and tubing, and there is a chance a manual button will be available for women to dose themselves.

Other options “It wouldn’t be the right choice for everybody,” Gutmann said. “But, we’ll have both options.”

Another possible option Gutmann and Snodgrass mentioned is the use of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Commonly used in Europe, nitrous oxide is becoming popular in the United States. There is no needle involved, it’s fast acting and the mother can give herself a dose if needed.

No matter which option a mother chooses, the most common safety concern at Greater Regional is the use of pain medication that will affect the baby.

“That’s one of the reasons epidural analgesia is better than IV analgesia in pregnancy, because that epidural medication does not cross the placenta and then make the baby sleepy,” Gutmann said.

When a mother has IV medications, the medications affect the baby because the baby is attached by the umbilical cord to the placenta, an organ

that allows nutrients in, gas exchange and waste elimination via the mother’s blood supply.

However, neither an intrathecal nor labor epidural will affect the baby because they do not cross into the blood supply, and nitrous oxide also does not affect the baby because the mother and baby do not share an oxygen supply.

“Pain management for moms-to-be is individualized based on their risks and needs, as well as the baby’s risks and needs,” Snodgrass said.

Snodgrass and Gutmann both emphasized the choice for pain management is indidvidualized. A mother may not want any medication, while another mother may opt for both the intrathecal early in labor and an epidural when the intrathecal medication wears off.

“We’re exploring all options with our new OB/ GYN (physician) coming. Once that provider gets here as part of our surgical team of professionals, they’re going to be looking at all opportunities because we want to deliver state of the art care,” Snodgrass said. “If you’re newly expecting or planning to become parents, check out Greater Regional for delivery of your baby because we’re going to have all options available.”

The first cut isn’t enough Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is from me.

I love the new plastic bags for veggies, fruit, cat and dog food, but the “zip” close sometimes is hard to open.

You are thinking, “What do you mean?” When it states: “Cut here, then open,” well, I don’t know about you, but after cutting where it says to, there is about 1/8 of an inch to try and pry open the bag!

Yes, it’s nice to be able to reseal, but then again, to open it is like prying open the jaws of a shark. Needle-nose pliers to the rescue. But hey, should I have to have a pair in the kitchen to open food products? Methinks not. — Heloise P.S.: Readers, am I alone on this? Please send your thoughts.

Panthers advance 10 despite ‘ugliest’ sectional performance Creston/O-M hosts Class 2A Regional Duals on Tuesday

By SCOTT VICKER

he’d lost to Bair twice,” Frain said. “Getting a win there in overtime and never beating Stork and getting a win there — great day for him. Real easy, a couple of points the other way and we’re getting third and not going anywhere.

Instead, we’re sectional champs. Jackson’s busted his rear to get where he’s at, so I’m excited for him.”

National Digest

Broncos win SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — A reborn Orange Crush might have sent Peyton Manning into retirement with a Super ending to his career.

Von Miller and the impenetrable Denver defense harassed Panthers quarterback Cam Newton all game Sunday, and the Broncos made enough big plays for a 24-10 victory, Manning’s 200th and perhaps his last before retirement.

He wasn’t the star of Super Bowl 50 — game MVP Miller seemingly was everywhere on every Carolina play — but Manning really hasn’t been the headliner in this injury-shortened season.

“This game was much like this season has been, testing our toughness, our resiliency, our unselfishness,” he said. “It’s only fitting that it turned out that way.”

Emulating his Broncos boss, John Elway, the 39-year-old Manning can ride off with the Lombardi Trophy after leading Denver to its third NFL title, first since 1999 — when Elway was the quarterback.

Newton was sacked six times - receiver Ted Ginn Jr., went down once on an aborted trick play — and if Miller wasn’t torturing him, DeMarcus Ware was. Ware had two of the seven sacks, equaling the most by one team in the Super Bowl.

Jok nets 23 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Peter Jok scored 23 points and Jarrod Uthoff added 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead No. 5 Iowa past Illinois 7765 on Sunday.

Jok took over early in the second half, scoring seven of the first 10 points for Hawkeyes (19-4, 10-1 Big Ten) and led them to a 48-36 lead with 16:48 to play.

Iowa would push the lead to as many as 20 points midway through the half.

Adam Woodbury added a double-double for the Hawkeyes with 10 points and 14 rebounds.

Iowa outrebounded the Illini 43-32. Illinois (11-13, 3-8) has been outrebounded in 10 of its 11 conference games.

Jalen Coleman-Lands led Illinois with 17 points, going 5 of 11 from 3-point range.

Iowa plays at No. 22 Indiana on Thursday.

Open playoff SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

(AP) Rickie Fowler broke down in tears in the media center after his playoff loss Sunday in the Waste Management Phoenix Open, overcome by emotion talking about his family.

“The hard part is having all my friends and family and grandpa and my dad who haven’t seen me win,” Fowler said.

“But I will be able to kind of hang with them tonight.

I’ll be all right.”

He hit two balls into the water on the par-4 17th hole - the first in regulation and the second on the fourth and final extra hole — to give Hideki Matsuyama an unexpected victory.

“This one hurts,” Fowler said.

WINTERSET — It wasn’t the same crisp Panther wrestling that Creston/O-M head coach Darrell Frain has become accustomed to seeing from his team here on Saturday.

But at the end of the day, the second-ranked Panthers were Class 2A Section 4 champions, advanced 10 wrestlers to this weekend’s district tournament and earned a spot in Tuesday’s Class 2A Regional Duals.

“That’s the best part about it,” Frain said about the 10 individual district qualifiers.

“It might have been the ugliest sectional we’ve had in a long time. Let a few slip away that should have got through, but at this point, we just worry about those 10 that got through and regroup as a team for regional duals.”

Creston/O-M scored 261 team points with its seven individual champions, finishing 30 points clear of runner-up Atlantic’s 231 points. The two Hawkeye 10 teams ran away with the sectional’s two

qualifying spots for Tuesday’s Class 2A Regional Duals, as Winterset finished a distant third with 156 points.

The second-ranked Panthers and Atlantic will both be in action 6 p.m. Tuesday in Creston. Creston/O-M takes on Perry in the first round, while 10th-ranked Glenwood meets Atlantic in the first round. The winners of those two duals meet in Tuesday’s regional final for a spot in the Feb. 17 State Dual Team Tournament at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

“It’ll be at home and now

the biggest thing we preach is we’re wrestling for those guys that didn’t make it,” Frain said. “This is their state chance, so we have to step up and do it for each other and not for ourselves.”

Seven champs

Of Creston/O-M’s 10 wrestlers advancing to Saturday’s Class 2A District 2 tournament in Atlantic, seven were sectional champions.

Winning individual titles for the Panthers were Trevor Marlin (126), Wyatt Thompson (138), Cameron Leith (160), Chase Shiltz (170), Jackson Mikkelsen (182), Seth Maitlen (195) and Kadon Hulett (220).

Marlin dominated his bracket with a pin and a 12-0 major decision over Winterset’s Derek Koster in the finals, despite coming in as the 2-seed. Thompson won a 13-1 major decision in the semifinals and then pinned Central Decatur’s Luke Jones in the first period in the finals.

“Marlin ended up the 2-seed, which I don’t get that too much and he lived up to a 1-seed like we thought he CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER was,” Frain said. “Wyatt, Creston/O-M junior Jackson Mikkelsen maintains control same thing. Totally felt like of Atlantic’s Zac Stork during their 182-pound champi- they were favorites in all their onship match Saturday. Mikkelsen won a 2-1 decision in matches today.” overtime.

Leith also had a first-period fall and a 14-4 major decision in the finals over Winterset’s Caleb Grose. Shiltz won by a pair of first-period pins. Maitlen won with a 10-0 major decision in the semifinals and a 10-3 decision over Atlantic’s Drake Roller in the finals, while Hulett won a 12-1 semifinal major decision and a 3-1 decision over Atlantic’s Keagan Hosfelt in the finals.

“We might not have wrestled great in a lot of those matches, but at this time, nobody really cares,” Frain said. “As long as your hand is raised at the end, that’s the only thing that matters. They all did what they had to do to get there.”

At 182 pounds, Mikkelsen ended up as sectional champion, but very easily could have finished third and not qualified for districts.

The Panther junior got a reversal in the final seconds of the second 30-second overtime tiebreaker period against Clarke’s Nathan Bair in the semifinals for a 5-4 decision, and then kept Atlantic’s Zac Stork from escaping in the 30-second tiebreaker in the finals for a 2-1 decision.

“Jackson had a day. Comes in as the No. 3-seed. Last year

All three Panther wrestlers who lost their championship matches had to wrestle again for true second place. All three Panthers came out victorious.

Jacob Goodson’s wrestleback at 113 pounds had a heated finish. After both Goodson and Van Meter’s Cade Costlow were each awarded a point for unsportsmanlike conduct by the other wrestler when the two nearly came to blows, Costlow was issued another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was disqualified before walking off the mat in anger.

“I didn’t see it,” Frain said.

“I guess the last match they wrestled, it was a little bit physical like that, also. So I’m just glad Jacob kept his head enough to get through it and now he has a chance, because one bad thing and you don’t wrestle next week.”

Panther girls split Weekend split for Panther boys weekend games Atlantic’s Hawkins scores school-record 45 here Saturday

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston girls basketball team and senior Caitlin McIlravy continued their offensive breakout with a Friday home win over Red Oak, before the offense struggled in a Saturday loss at Atlantic.

Creston went on a 19-4 run to start the third quarter in Friday’s 65-38 win over Red Oak, but fell behind early in Saturday’s 68-43 loss to Atlantic.

The Panthers now sit in fifth place in the Hawkeye 10 Conference at 11-7 overall and 5-4 in league play. Friday’s game against Red Oak counted in the conference standings, but Saturday’s game against Atlantic did not.

After McIlravy had a career-best 22 points in Thursday’s win over Clarinda, she dropped in 17 more Friday a g a i n s t McIlravy Red Oak to help spur the Panthers’ 19-4 third-quarter run.

The Panthers got 3-pointers

from Taylor Briley, Brielle Baker and McIlravy in the period, turning a 27-18 halftime lead into a 50-26 lead going into the fourth quarter.

“My goodness, she (McIlravy) has played so hard and with so much confidence,” Creston head coach Brent Douma said Friday. “It’s a blessing to find that right now at this time of the season, going into the last couple of weeks and tournament time.”

Douma said McIlravy’s emergence as another outside shooter will prove important for the Panthers, who see a lot of zone defenses.

Briley led the team with 18 points to go with four assists in the win. McIlravy added six steals to her 17 points and all-time leading scorer Jenna Taylor finished with 12 points and six rebounds in the win.

Lexie Little and Baker each scored six points.

Saturday was a different story, though.

The Panthers trailed 22-8 after one quarter and never recovered in the 68-43 loss to Atlantic.

A solid winning effort was followed by Atlantic’s alltime best individual performance in weekend action for the Creston boys basketball team.

Freshman Kylan Smallwood scored 25 points, Cody Crawford chipped in 22 and Cooper McDermott finished with 19 points as Creston avenged an earlier defeat by beating Red Oak Friday, 7768.

Atlantic visited the Creston gym for a 5 p.m. varsity tipoff Saturday and it was obvious from the start that Ryan Hawkins came ready to play. The 6-7 senior ended with an Atlantic individual game all-time best 45 points along with 17 rebounds, four

assists, three steals and two blocks in the Trojans’ 78-60 victory.

Neither game counted in the Hawkeye 10 standings as Creston goes into tonight’s game at Glenwood at 4-13 overall and 2-6 in league play.

Atlantic improved to 14-4 overall and stands fourth in the conference at 7-3. Red Oak, right behind Creston at 2-8 in the league, slipped to 5-13 overall.

Friday’s game was an encouraging step forward for this young Panther team, which fell 49-38 in an uninspired performance at Red Oak on Jan. 9. Smallwood was 7-of-9 at the free throw line in scoring 25 points and Crawford was 7-7 at the line along with making three 3-pointers in his 22-point night.

there,” said McDermott, who followed up Friday’s 19-point effort with 20 points in the loss to Atlantic. “This McDermott time we worked as a team a heck of a lot better.

We were really getting out and running tonight. It keeps us flowing and in the game when we’re scoring in transition. Kylan is a heck of an athlete. It’s going to be fun to watch him grow over the years.”

The Panther defense was able to withstand 12 3-pointers by the Tigers. Center Tucker Flynn had 10 rebounds.

“Tucker was huge for us tonight on the boards. He was a big part of the defensive effort,” Creston coach Taylor Phipps said. “We went on a little bit of a run there in the second half and made our free throws down the stretch. It was definitely a concerted effort to make sure that we had a lot of energy and we were focused.

It started on the defensive end.”

Creston freshman Kylan Smallwood goes up for two of his 25 points in the Panthers’ 77-68 victory over Red Oak Friday night. Smallwood had 16 points in Saturday’s 78-60 loss to Atlantic.

Saturday’s game also started well for the Panthers, hanging with the 14-4 Trojans at 29-26 early in the second quarter. Evan Jacobson’s two free throws kept it close at 37-35 with 1:22 left in the first half.

Then the Panthers suffered two turnovers before the buzzer as the Trojans closed on a 7-0 run for a 4435 halftime lead. Hawkins already had 24 points at the break.

“That last stretch of the second quarter was a tough way to end the half after playing so well,” Phipps said.

Madison Callahan led the Panthers with 11 points in the win.

“We were fortunate to win tonight,” Creston JV coach Ryan McKim said. “Red Oak outplayed us. They were more aggressive and really had us out of sync. We needed better player movement against their man-to-man pressure. At the end of the day, though, it was good to get the win.”

Tonight, the Panthers meet a 13-4 Glenwood team that is ranked seventh and a likely first-round district opponent on Feb. 22. The Rams share first place in the conference with Carroll Kuemper Catholic and Harlan.

“They don’t have near the size of Atlantic,” Phipps said, “but they’re a solid team that does a good job with their defensive pressure on you.

They’re a solid team.”

JUNIOR VARSITY Creston’s JV girls team picked up a 66-44 win over Atlantic on Saturday to move to 17-2 for the season.

Madison Callahan scored 17 points to lead the Panthers and Taylor Buxton netted 16.

are a great team. Some foul trouble hurt us in staying in our rhythm. We had a real hard time keeping them off the boards.”

Atlantic coach Alan Jenkins, whose team fell to Harlan and a 41-point performance by Cyclone guard Caleb Rasmussen on Thursday, said Creston’s perimeter shooting was hurting his team in the first half.

“You gotta give Creston a lot of credit, they’ve really improved,” Jenkins said. “Their guards do a good job. They kept us off balance in the first half. We changed things up defensively, especially on the dribble handoffs. I thought our 1-3-1 kind of changed the game.”

The margin reached 30 points (75-45) with 4:51 left shortly before reserves finished the game for both squads.

Hawkins shot 14-of-21 from the field and 17-20 at the line for his record Atlantic performance, topping the previous record of 43 shared by Jerry Quick and Jerome Hoegh. It was a timely performance, as 6-7 junior Garrett Franken was slowed by an ankle injury in scoring three points.

“Ryan is starting to play at such a high level,” Jenkins said.

Clearview Home raises funds for Greater Regional Cancer Center CLEARFIELD – The staff at Clearview Home in Clearfield spent the month of October 2015 selling t-shirts and gathering donations for their second annual Taylor County Pink Out, and raised $2,700 for two area foundations.

“This year our goal was $2,400. We are all very excited, and so appreciate for all those who supported us and helped us exceed our goal. With over 300 T-shirts sold, silent auction items and monetary donations, Clearview staff donated $1,350 to Greater Regional Healthcare Foundation for Greater Regional Cancer Center,” Clearview Home Administrator Patti Parrish said.

The idea for Pink Out came after a co-worker at

Clearview was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.

The staff and residents wanted to show their sup-

port for her, and also help others fighting a battle with cancer. Clearview Home, a privately-owned nursing

home for over 50 years, realizes how important it is to have healthcare in southwest Iowa.

4-H design boot camp planned in Greenfield The camp will cover elements and principles of design, what 4-H judges are looking for and the “do’s,” “don’ts” and “must-haves” of a 4-H exhibit.

GREENFIELD – Design Boot Camp Plus is scheduled for 4-H’ers from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, at the 4-H/FFA Center on the Adair County fairgrounds in Greenfield.

Boot camp will begin with presentation and hands-on activities by Sue Bogue, retired Iowa 4-H program specialist. Sue will cover the elements and principles of design in a basic manner for 4-H’ers to understand.

Johnk, regional 4-H program specialist, will round out the camp with Copyright 101, explaining the “do’s,” “don’ts” and the “must haves,” when completing their 4-H exhibit. Mid-morning snacks will be provided. There is no charge to attend boot camp, but pre-registration is requested. Call the extension office at 641-743-8412 or email wallaced@iastate. edu by Feb. 12 to register.

Participants are asked to bring a clothing, visual arts or home improvement project (completed or in progress) to help them determine its elements of design.
