COVID-19 Updates

  • 1.  Pregnant HCW

    Posted 04-13-2020 12:59
    ​​Has anyone restricted clinical duties for pregnant HCW?

    We are looking at updating our guidelines.  Currently, we do not restrict, but ensure they have proper PPE. 

    Considerations:
          1.  Restrict exposure to aerosolizing procedures such as intubation and respiratory procedures
          2.  If so, would this include second stage of labor?
          3.  Work restrictions at 36+ weeks to limit being infected at time of labor and delivery and exposing more staff.

    Would appreciate any feedback.
