How many deliveries do you have per month?

Published

Just out of curiousity, how many deliveries a month do you all have at your facilities, and how many labor rooms do you have to accomodate them?

We have had 400+ babies 3 out of the last 4 months, and surely will this month too.

Sorry - this was my weekend - very tired.

16 LDR

40 Postpartum

14 High Risk Antepartum

4 Triage Beds

2 OR's (Getting ready to open a 3rd - yikes!)

4 PACU beds (after c/s)

350-400 a month

get this =(

11 LDR rooms

2 OR's

4 cots in a room we call PACU

10 Antapartum rooms that some that we can do deliveries in and some that we cant (well I guess we can becuse I have before).

We are serverly short on rooms. Sometimes we have patients laboring and even delivering in the 4 cot PACU area or even in the ORs. those rooms dont have central monitoring so we lose an RN from the floor if we have to put ppl there and thats bad when we only have 5 nurses to begine with.

We have all been looking forward to our new unit which is being built but guess what?... we just got a peek at it and it has a whopping 12 beds and is a really long way away from the OR/PACU so unless our deliveries drop its not going to be much better.

We do approx 650/month

16 LDRP beds

6 L&D beds

2 recovery room beds

3 caserooms/OR's

35 postpartum beds

4 triage beds and an early labor waiting room

not sure how many antepartum beds ( 6 or 8 I think)

One of our delivery hospitals closed so we are down to 2 hospitals that deliver. They have promised to add rooms but we have yet to see them. People have got to stop having babies until they are built:rotfl: cuz I am going crazy:selfbonk:

We also need more staff (11 of our nurses are pregnant)

Avg. 55-60/month. About 80 is our record. Usually about 650-675/yr. 6 LDRP's. 12 PP/CS/GYN rooms. Level one nursery. We also do unofficial level 2 on occasion too! Cperarson are you at Parkland? That would be a little too much of a good thing for me. I love OB, but I have my limits!

How many nurses do you have on your unit on average (dayshift)? Do you have techs to help out?
