Abstract
Introduction: The COVID 19 pandemic has presented significant challenges to the delivery of safe, efficient care for emergency obstetric surgery. In particular donning airborne personal protective equipment (PPE) in a timely fashion and the associated barriers to communication in the operating theatre. Improvements to multi-disciplinary communication (MDT) has been identified in MBRRACE reports1 as an area that is crucial in reducing maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
