Unit Information:

This unit is comprised of L&D and a separate L&D triage area.  We have 24 hour perinatologists, neonatologists, and anesthesiologists (dedicated to OB) along with obstetric physicians and 2 groups of midwives.  We are a high risk antepartum and intrapartum unit including 16 LDR beds, 8 antepartum outpatient beds, 4 NST Bays and 3  pre-op and post-op beds.  We have 3 dedicated L&D OR’s for scheduled C-Sections and unscheduled cases such as cerclage placement or removal.  We also do emergent cases such as a laboring patient who needs a C-Section for arrest of dilation or descent or fetal intolerance of labor, hysterectomy or D&C for hemorrhage.  Our nurses are unique in that they are trained to be the pre-op nurse, intraoperative nurse (circulator), and PACU nurse for all OR cases, along with the nurse for the newborn after delivery.  We care for triage patients; ante-partum patients (both outpatient and inpatient if high risk or unstable); intrapartum, and preop and postop patients.  Our triage nurses see pregnant women over 20 weeks of gestation for obstetrical concerns. They also take care of patients with scheduled procedures such as non-stress tests and versions.  We currently do over 5,500 deliveries a year.  We currently have 14 nurses certified in Inpatient Obstetrics through NCC.  Several nurses also have a subspecialty certification in electronic fetal monitoring.   All nurses in L&D are certified in NRP and ACLS.
