In hospitals across the country, OBHG clinicians deliver lifesaving care every single day. Their around-the-clock presence ensures that all obstetrical patients receive immediate, unbiased care.
Today’s story focuses on OBHG CNM Brittany Nieves and how she delivered lifesaving care to a patient.
Summary:
In this video, Brittany Nieves, OBHG Certified Nurse-Midwife, shares a lifesaving story about a shoulder dystocia case that she encountered with a first-time mom. The patient was admitted for an induction of labor due to gestational diabetes, and her baby was measuring large.
During delivery, the baby’s anterior shoulder got stuck, and despite the challenging situation, the team sprang into action. They used the McRoberts maneuver, applied suprapubic pressure, and finally, with the Wood’s screw maneuver, they successfully delivered the baby.
This experience underscores the importance of having a dedicated medical team available 24/7 to handle obstetrical emergencies.
“Having OBHG and a focus on patient-centered care is life-changing for countless women and children. Obstetrical complications can arise both in and out of the hospital, but having someone on-site 24/7 can be the difference between a good and bad outcome. As we know, minutes matter. Providing this level of care around the clock has made a tremendous impact on communities overall.”
