Managing obstetric emergencies in women with suspected or confirmed COVID-19

What does good look like for managing obstetric emergencies in women with suspected or confirmed COVID-19? This video shares five key goals:
(1) Teamwork: Assign team roles and help each other to get ready
(2) Transitions: Be aware of transitions of staff and equipment between dirty and clean zones
(3) Communication: Recognise and manage communication challenges caused by wearing PPE
(4) Design and layout: organise workflows and equipment to make the right thing to do the easy thing to do
(5) Debrief: Take the opportunity to debrief as a team
