What should the midwife pay attention to, in addition to the operation, in the process of completing the preparations for delivery?
In the process of completing the preparations for delivery, the midwife, in addition to completing the operation, should pay attention to the following aspects:
Mother's emotional comfort: the preparations for delivery is very important for the mother, not only related to her physical health, but also has a profound impact on her emotional state. In this process, the midwife needs to pay special attention to the emotional state of the mother and give them the necessary comfort and encouragement. For maternal tension, anxiety and fear and other emotions, midwives should talk, comfort and encouragement and other ways to ease, so that the mother can be more calm mind to meet the labor.
Medical equipment checking: Before the delivery, the midwife needs to make sure that all the necessary medical equipment is ready, including the delivery bed, fetal monitoring equipment, sterilizing supplies, etc. In the process of checking these equipments, the midwife should make sure that all the necessary medical equipments are ready. During the inspection of this equipment, the midwife needs to make sure that they are intact and functional to avoid problems such as equipment failure or shortage of supplies during labor.
Cleaning and disinfection: Before receiving the delivery, the midwife needs to thoroughly clean and disinfect the delivery room. This is not only to safeguard the health of the mother and fetus, but also to avoid cross-infection. During the cleaning and disinfection process, midwives need to pay special attention to the dead corners of the delivery room and items that may become hiding places for bacteria, such as bed sheets, bedding, medical equipment and so on.
Monitoring of maternal health: Before delivering a baby, midwives need to closely monitor the mother's health, including vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. Through this monitoring, the midwife can detect possible pregnancy complications or other abnormalities in time, so as to take appropriate measures to ensure the smooth progress of labor.
In summary, the midwife needs to pay attention to much more than just the operational level in the process of completing the prenatal preparations. In addition to ensuring that the operation is standardized and skilled, the midwife also needs to pay attention to the emotional state of the mother, the integrity of medical equipment, cleaning and disinfection, and the physical condition of the mother and other aspects. Through all-round attention and preparation, midwives are able to provide a safer, more comfortable and smoother birthing environment for mothers.
