Maternal preparations for childbirth
A series of preparatory work is required before the mother gives birth, and nurses need to cooperate during this process. First of all, you need to know the gestational age of the mother. Different examinations are required at different stages of pregnancy. Based on the examination results, nurses should promptly answer the maternal questions, provide psychological comfort, and make preparations. Nurses need to ensure that necessary items such as dressing gowns, towels, disinfectants, and instruments are prepared to ensure sterility. In addition, the maternal birth canal also needs to be thoroughly cleaned to avoid infection.
Nursing work during delivery
After the maternal birth canal begins to open, nurses need to observe closely to understand the development of the maternal condition. Data such as the opening of the maternal cervix and the position of the fetus should be recorded at any time. After the cornea is ruptured, the nurse should immediately check the color, amount, smell, etc. of the amniotic fluid, and take appropriate treatment measures according to the situation. At the same time, nurses should provide appropriate breathing training and position adjustments for the mother, such as sitting or lying on her side, to effectively help the fetus deliver smoothly.
Emergency measures in emergency situations
The success rate of vaginal delivery is not 100%, and in emergencies, nurses need to improvise and deal with it accordingly. For example, if a mother suffocates during delivery, the nurse should immediately take emergency rescue measures, such as violent suctioning, tracheal intubation, etc., to ensure the mother\’s breathing is smooth. If the mother suffers from massive bleeding, placental abruption, fetal cardiac arrest, etc., the nurse should quickly activate the emergency medical rescue mechanism in the hospital.
Postpartum care
After the mother gives birth, nurses need to carry out corresponding postpartum care work. A good rest environment must be provided after childbirth to avoid excessive fatigue. At the same time, the mother needs to clean herself, change into clean clothes, and be careful to avoid infection when bathing. Pregnant women should also eat light, well-coordinated meals, and eat more fruits and vegetables to promote recovery. Using this time, nurses can teach new mothers how to breastfeed and raise children, and provide psychological counseling to reduce postpartum anxiety and worries.
Summary
The role of nurses in the maternal delivery process is very important. They need to closely observe the maternal condition, master and record relevant data, and formulate corresponding case plans and preventive measures. After the baby is born, nurses also need to do a good job in postpartum care, teaching the new mother how to raise children, breastfeeding and other knowledge to help her through this not easy postpartum recovery stage. Nurses need to focus on safe, fast, professional and efficient working attitudes and skills to protect the health of mothers and babies.
