Abstract

The accurate assessment of basic observations such as blood pressure, heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation of blood (SpO²), respirations, temperature and level of consciousness (AVPU score) underpin the fundamentals of basic midwifery care provision. However, after identifying that the signs of impending maternal collapse often went unrecognised leading to subsequent morbidities and mortalities, the confidential enquiry into maternal and child health (CEMACH) report in 2007 (Lewis 2007) recommended that all obstetric women's observations were recorded through a modified early obstetric warning system (MEOWS). This allows for the early detection of women who may become critically unwell and provides an opportunity for practitioners to act promptly and prevent deterioration (Knight et al 2016).This article provides an overview of the MEOWS scores as a tool to improve maternal morbidity and mortality within maternity care.

基本技能:降低产妇发病率和死亡率。
准确评估血压、心率、动脉血氧饱和度(SpO²)、呼吸、体温和意识水平(AVPU评分)等基本观察结果,是提供基本助产护理的基础。然而,在确定产妇即将崩溃的迹象往往未被发现,导致随后的发病率和死亡率之后,2007年妇幼保健保密调查报告(Lewis 2007)建议,通过改进的早期产科预警系统(MEOWS)记录所有产科妇女的观察结果。这允许早期发现可能变得严重不适的女性,并为从业者提供了迅速采取行动并防止恶化的机会(Knight et al . 2016)。本文概述了MEOWS评分作为提高孕产妇发病率和死亡率的工具。
