Examination and treatment of pregnant women in obstetrics during 2019 novel coronavirus disease epidemic

Abstract

The epidemic situation of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) had been entered into the national prevention and control phase since its outbreak in China. Its main source of infection was the confirmed patients, but asymptomatic infections may also be source of this infection. Because pregnant women were in the state of immunosuppression, they were more susceptible to respiratory pathogens and inclined to develop into severe diseases. During the epidemic period, they still need to go to hospital for necessary prenatal examination or termination of pregnancy and other obstetric interventions. In view of the above particularity, Beijing Youan Hospital, Capital Medical University had formulated the diagnosis and treatment process of pregnant women under the epidemic situation, adjusted and optimized the outpatient inspection and inpatient treatment process, striving to minimize the impact of the epidemic situation on the diagnosis and treatment of pregnant women and ensure the health of mothers and infants. At the same time, the relevant protection process of medical staff should be formulated to effectively avoid nosocomial infection, so as to provide reference for the formulation of obstetric diagnosis and treatment plan during the epidemic.
