Q&A
Dear Elena! Currently, in the Lipetsk region, there are restrictions on visits to hospitalized patients by relatives due to the current epidemiological situation for a new coronavirus infection. At the same time, in GUZ "LOPTS" it is possible to carry out partner childbirth if the partner complies with the following rules: At the time of delivery, there should be no signs of ARVI (fever, catarrhal phenomena, etc.) The result of lung fluorography on the hands, less than 1 year old The result of a PCR examination for COVID-19 on the hands (three days or less ago). It is also desirable to have a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19. Availability of disposable clothing and clean replacement shoes Finally, the issue of the partner's admission to childbirth is decided by the responsible doctor on duty at the maternity hospital at the time of the patient's admission.
Dear Julia! This list is published on our website (at the top in the middle). Just in case, we duplicate: 1. Documents (exchange card, birth certificate, passport, medical policy, SNILS); 2. Washable replacement shoes. 3. Up to 1.5 liters of non-carbonated drinking water (required) mug, spoon, plate (possible); 4. Personal hygiene products: - postpartum pads; disposable postpartum underpants; toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, disposable shaving machine; 5. Medications prescribed by a doctor for permanent use; 6. Two or three diapers for a newborn; wet wipes (possible); 7. Replace contact lenses with glasses; 8. Remove nail polish (on hands and feet) 9. With upcoming COP take with you a bandage sticker of at least 25 cm. and disposable absorbent diapers of at least 60x60cm. Compression knitwear (stockings or bandages) , you can also take a nightgown with you (if not, we will give you our sterile one).
Dear Nadezhda! The date of hospitalization for a planned cesarean section is coordinated with our hospital by the doctor of your women's consultation. Usually hospitalization (and surgery on the same day) is carried out within 39 weeks. If you are currently 36 weeks old, you should already have a referral for a specific date on your hands. If, before the appointed date, labor activity begins or the waters depart, you arrive earlier, respectively, on the day when this happens.
Dear Lydia! If we understood your question correctly, we inform you that on January 3-6, our accounting department is working on concluding contracts with patients for paid services. From 9:00 to 15:00.
Dear Irina! If there is a need for hospitalization, then, depending on the nature of the pathology, the duration of hospitalization can be very different. These issues are solved by your obstetrician-gynecologist in a women's consultation - in consultation with us. He must agree on a specific date of hospitalization for this particular situation.
Dear Anastasia! 1. By order - in GUZ "LOPTS" we are obliged to deal with the delivery of patients with COVID-19 patients. Those who have been ill do not belong to this category. 2. If you contact us in the active phase of childbirth, we have no right to refuse.
Dear Elena! The choice of delivery tactics through online communication is not being made. Come to the hospital, we will conduct an examination, a follow-up examination and then we will discuss everything with you. Your wish is taken into account, but it is not fundamental. Simply put: we are responsible for the result (a favorable outcome of childbirth for the mother and child), and how we will ensure this result is decided on the basis of objective data. If we are sure that in this particular case, natural childbirth is preferable to achieve the result, then this is the tactic we will offer you. And vice versa, if there are indications for an operation, then we will offer an operation.
Dear Ekaterina! The administration of GUZ "LOPTS" thanks you for the high appreciation of our work. Gratitude will definitely be brought to the medical staff. And come to us again!
Dear Julia!
Of course, at the Lipetsk Regional Perinatal Center, we fully comply with all the WHO recommendations listed by you. If the birth is through the natural birth canal, the child immediately lays out on the mother's stomach. After the umbilical cord pulsation stops (about 3 minutes), it is cut and the child is transferred to a neonatologist on a special heated table, where an examination, processing of the umbilical cord residue, anthropometry is carried out. Then the child returns to the mother again - applying to the breast, skin-to-skin contact, etc. In our obstetric hospital, breastfeeding is also actively promoted, so of course we do not finish feeding newborns with a mixture without indications.
Dear Ekaterina! Actually, by order, it is necessary. After all, hospitalization is planned, not emergency. If (God forbid!) the test will be positive - all the ways lead to us anyway (we are engaged in delivery at the NCVI), but at the same time with treatment and isolation.
