Abstract
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Peripartum Triaging of Patients to the Operating Room
Highlights
The concept of triaging patients originated from the management of military trauma situations where wounded soldiers were systematically evaluated and treated
A level 1 case indicates the need for immediate surgical intervention and the patient is to be in the operating rooms (OR) within 60 minutes of the surgical decision
We propose a quality improvement project which will delineate terminology for obstetrical triaging to the OR via a multidisciplinary approach and discuss metrics for evaluation of this quality improvement intervention
Summary
We developed a four-level stratification system to triage patients using clear guidelines for all OR cases. We defined the expectations for each team member’s role, including the obstetrician, anesthesiologist, charge nurse, nursing staff, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) team, and the surgical and clinical technicians
