C-section Personnel

Published

Hello Everyone!!

A bit of background, first. I work at a semi-rural facility and we do 90-120 deliveries a month. Probably half of those are by c-section, repeat and emergency. Okay, when I first started at this facility, a nursery nurse and the pediatrician went to every delivery. About two months ago, the head Ped doc found a study that stated they were not needed at routine c/s. So, now, only one NRP trained RN is at most c/s. We are trying to get this changed and looking for input. I was wondering what the standard is at your facility and if you have any research articles backing up what you do. I appreciate your time. Thanks, Kelly

City hospital, about 1200 deliveries/year. All OB nurses are NRP trained. At our CS, both scheduled and emergent, we have one RN and one RRT. If we anticipate a problem we will have another RN, either L&D or NICU. We only have the neo's come for babes under 32 weeks. Otherwise, they usually show up shortly after delivery.
