Specialist antenatal clinics are increasingly being used to enable anaesthetists to evaluate pregnant women with co-morbidities and those at high risk of obstetric complications. In this journal a team from Israel describe the process of setting up and running such a clinic over a 14 year period. One of the challenges they identify was the limited referral of high risk women. Based on UK and US literature, the use of structured referral tools, clear criteria for referral and regular antenatal multidisciplinary meetings may help to address this.
专科产前诊所越来越多地被用于让麻醉医生评估患有合并症的孕妇以及那些有产科并发症高风险的孕妇。在本期刊中,一个来自以色列的团队描述了在14年期间建立和运营这样一个诊所的过程。他们发现的挑战之一是高危女性的转诊受限。根据英国和美国的文献,使用结构化转诊工具、明确的转诊标准以及定期的产前多学科会议可能有助于解决这一问题。
