Assessment of pregnant women on the medical take
I put this together for clinicians seeing pregnant women in medical settings, perhaps at higher frequency than normal given the COVID pandemic.
I will continue to modify this and the most up to date PDF version will be available here. The contact details have been left blank so that you can modify the document to include your local departmental contact details - I included labour ward and the obstetric registrar, as well as which emergency teams need to be called in the event of a cardiac arrest.
Updates:
29.3.20 I have changed the phraseology of the D dimer section, given that it is not commonly advocated for use in VTE diagnosis in pregnancy at present, but the trend in D dimer may be a useful prognostic indicator in COVID infection.
