The provision of safe obstetric anaesthesia services is essential during the COVID-19 global outbreak. The identification of the 'high-infection risk' parturient can be challenging especially with the rapidly changing risk criteria for COVID-19 'cases'. A multidisciplinary taskforce is required to review the infection control protocols and workflows for managing the parturient for labour analgesia and for caesarean section in order to minimize infection risk to healthcare staff and other parturients. A constant review of such processes is needed to enhance efficiency and to optimise use of finite resources. Good communication between health officials, institutional leadership and ground staff is essential for the dissemination of information.
在 COVID-19 全球爆发期间，提供安全的产科麻醉服务至关重要。特别是在 COVID-19“病例”的风险标准迅速变化的情况下，识别“高感染风险”的产妇可能具有挑战性。需要一个多学科工作组来审查管理产妇分娩镇痛和剖宫产的感染控制协议和工作流程，以将医护人员和其他产妇的感染风险降到最低。需要不断审查这些流程，以提高效率并优化有限资源的利用。卫生官员、机构领导层和现场工作人员之间的良好沟通对于信息的传播至关重要。
