- Administer medications, including epidurals, Pitocin, and pain relief options, as prescribed, and monitor their effects.
- Provide continuous emotional support and pain management throughout the labor process, using comfort measures, including positioning, breathing techniques, and offering encouragement.
- Assist with amniotomy, if necessary, and other procedures as directed by the healthcare team.
Assisting with Delivery:
- Assist obstetricians or midwives during vaginal deliveries, including providing instrumentation assistance, suctioning, and other necessary actions during the birth.
- Participate in cesarean section procedures by ensuring the sterile field, assisting with the delivery process, and providing immediate newborn care after birth.
- Perform neonatal resuscitation and initial assessment of the newborn’s health immediately after delivery.
Postpartum Care:
- Monitor the health and recovery of both the mother and the newborn in the immediate postpartum period, including assessing vital signs, bleeding, and uterine tone.
- Assist with breastfeeding support, including teaching proper latch techniques, positioning, and addressing any concerns related to infant care.
- Provide education on postpartum recovery, self-care, and newborn care, such as diapering, bathing, and recognizing signs of illness.
Documentation and Reporting:
- Document all assessments, interventions, medications, and patient progress accurately in the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain compliance with hospital policies and legal standards.
- Maintain accurate and timely records of labor and delivery processes, including patient and fetal monitoring results.
Collaboration and Communication:
- Work closely with obstetricians, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and other healthcare team members to plan and implement individualized care for each patient.
- Communicate clearly with patients and families about the progress of labor, potential complications, and available options, ensuring that informed consent is obtained for procedures when necessary.
Infection Control and Safety:
- Follow infection control procedures to maintain a safe and sterile environment for labor, delivery, and postpartum care.
- Ensure that all equipment used during labor and delivery is properly sterilized and functioning, including fetal monitoring devices, IV pumps, and delivery instruments.
Emergency and High-Risk Situations:
- Recognize signs of complications, such as fetal distress, preeclampsia, and hemorrhage, and initiate appropriate interventions or escalate care as needed.
- Respond to obstetric emergencies, such as shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, and neonatal resuscitation, utilizing appropriate protocols and teamwork.
- Administer medications and interventions for high-risk pregnancies, including managing complications like hypertension, gestational diabetes, or infections.
Patient Education and Advocacy:
