Dr. Nicole Fanning started her hospitalist shift for the evening. A patient was admitted for fetal monitoring earlier that day. Dr. Fanning was regularly checking on the patient.
She noticed that the monitor started showing signs of fetal decelerations. They were manageable at first, but then progressively began to decline.
Watch Dr. Fanning’s account of this obstetric emergency delivery and learn how she provided life-saving care.
“This just goes to show the beauty of having a hospitalist on call at the hospital 24/7 – that there’s always someone there to respond to emergencies and keep a close eye on the babies and the moms while the private providers are at home resting and recuperating for the next day.”
