- COVID-19 adds complexity to obstetric emergency management. This short video sets about the principles of managing women with confirmed/suspected COVID-19 who develop obstetric emergencies
Great 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Stay safe😷😘
I'd have to disagree with this protocol on some issues:
(1) Do you want to say that upon knowing that you've got a confirmed case of covid-19 on the ward, the emergency responders were not on (at least)face masks, not talk of face shields.
(2) The first responder touched the the door knob ungloved, for a room with a confirmed case!
(3) An obstetric patient should have an IV access, no better period for such practice than in this pandemic
(4) Even though we may understand that this is just a guide, did folks see one of the responders touch her face during donning?
(4) some one else picked up the pack without gloves on and no face masks on. I guess that area where the pack was picked up is supposed to be for sterile materials.
I'll like to get your response to the observations highlighted above.

1. They all had masks and googles.
2. The outside of the door is not in contact with Covid 19 (it’s a normal birth unit ward, not a Covid ward) therefore opening the door is okay followed by hand hygiene
3. The team were likely putting in a 2nd IVC as part of PPH response though there’s an argument that a low risk woman with mild symptoms still doesn’t necessarily warrant an IVC
4. Didn’t notice that. Hopefully that person washes there hands after touching their face before moving onto the next step.
5.The person who got the pack was outside the Covid room. The packs are grabbed by a ‘runner’ and passed into the room OR taken from they are stored to just outside the room, individual dons, then brings the PPH pack in with them.
Not affiliated with PROMPT just my interpretation to your observations :)
