Post-op nursing for fetoscopic NTD repairs

RoseS

Hi! We will begin offering fetoscopic NTD repairs this summer/fall, and I am wondering what is your nurse staffing for post-op patients following a fetoscopic NTD repair? 1 to 1 for 24 hours? 1 to 1 for 48 hours? At if it is 1 to 1 for 48 hours, what is the rationale? Thanks!

Hello! The OB facility that recovers our fetoscopic NTD repairs keeps patients 1:1 for 72hrs typically. That is what they have decided based on assessments and care needs. Thanks!
