Title: E4 - Skin-to-Skin on the Operating Room Table; Don’t Let Triplets Stop You
Disciplines: Childbearing (CB)
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize the evidence supporting skin-to-skin immediately after delivery.
- Identify common barriers and misconceptions to consistent adoption of skin-to-skin during and after cesarean birth.
- Describe multiple strategies to safety adopt skin-to-skin during and immediately after cesarean birth.
The practice of providing skin-to-skin after cesarean birth while the mother is on the operating room is a challenging practice to consistently adopt. The strategies that one community hospital used to go from routine separation of mothers and infants during and after cesarean to consistent application of skin-to-skin during/after cesarean will be presented. Instructions and ideas to safely provide skin-to-skin will be shared and illustrated that can provide the framework for replication at other facilities.
