As the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) escalates globally, and no end in sight, we describe an approach for adapting swiftly to the increasing number of COVID-19 parturients admitted into labor and delivery unit. The adaptability includes physical layout, triaging, quick testing, isolating confirmed parturients, access to designated intensive care units, facilitating emergent cesarean deliveries, and educating health care personnel. It is vital that other healthy parturi-ents and healthcare providers must be protected from COVID-19. It is encouraged that institutions exchange and dis-seminate information to succeed in the global fight against this dreaded pandemic.
随着新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)在全球范围内升级且看不到尽头,我们描述了一种迅速适应越来越多COVID-19产妇进入分娩单元的方法。这种适应性包括物理布局、分诊、快速检测、隔离确诊产妇、进入指定重症监护病房、促进紧急剖宫产以及对医护人员进行教育。保护其他健康产妇和医护人员免受COVID-19感染至关重要。鼓励各机构交流和传播信息,以便在全球抗击这一致命大流行病的斗争中取得成功。
