What is new for outpatient department of obstetrics?
A fever screening office is needed to set up in the outpatient
department of obstetrics for screening COVID-19 patient.
1) Screening triage: Suspicious cases should be identified in time, and
febrile pregnant women should be guided by specially assigned people to
the fever clinic office.
2) Fever clinic office: Pregnant women with fever, suspicious symptoms
or a history of epidemiological exposure are screened here. After
examination, pregnant women who can exclude suspected infection can be
transferred to the general outpatient clinic. If the pregnant woman is
suspected or diagnosed with coronavirus infection, they shall be
admitted to hospital for isolation or transferred to a designated
hospital as soon as possible in accordance with the regulations. It is
strictly forbidden to allow suspected or confirmed pregnant women to be
transferred by themselves. Besides this, the accompanying family members
of suspected or confirmed pregnant women should also be tested for the
coronavirus.
3) Independent green access passway for coronavirus patient.
4) Protective measures for medical staff in obstetrical department: It
is emphasized to strengthen protective measures for medical staff in
obstetrical clinic to avoid infection and cross-infection among medical
staff. As a result of the strong infectivity of asymptomatic infection,
it is necessary for medical staff in obstetrical clinic to maintain
secondary class of protection (medical surgical masks, face shields,
disposable hats, protective, gloves).
