The Nest has set up the Triage – the anytime emergency care center for expecting women. Managed by experienced doctors and nurses, this 24×7 emergency unit is the first place to head to, in times of any pregnancy-related emergency. Our staff is specially trained to stabilize both mother and child in a very precise manner. Triage is an emergency pregnancy unit at The Nest. In the case of emergency situations, a registered nurse gathers as much information as possible and assesses the type of emergency. The assessment involves the following:
- Upon arrival at the hospital, the Registered Nurse (RN) documents:
- Date/time of arrival
- Method of transportation
- Information about accompanying person(s)
- The RN completes an initial assessment to determine the emergency of the situation by gathering the following information:
- Reason for coming to the hospital
- Number of previous pregnancies / deliveries
- Estimated time of delivery – term / preterm, gestational stage
- Presence of contractions – frequency, duration, intensity and resting tone
- Bleeding amount (if any)
- Foetal movements
- Woman’s response to labour – emotional status and pain
- Status of membranes – time of rupture, colour, consistency, amount, odour and presence of meconium
- Presence of obstetrical / medical concerns like multiple pregnancy, malpresentation, etc
- Exposure to infectious diseases
- Obstetrical priority of non-urgent, urgent and emergent based on initial triage assessment
- At The Nest, our RNs accumulate all the required data to ensure that timely and appropriate care is given to the patients. This information is given to the respective in-house consultants in order to save time and act accordingly based on the urgency for a doctor’s intervention.
