Introduction
The first case of novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia (Corona Virus
Disease 2019, COVID-19) was discovered in Wuhan in December 20191 , and the epidemic spread rapidly in China
and the whole world 2 . Some scholars in China
have summarized the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 from the aspects
of patient epidemiology, symptoms and laboratory examinations, and
pulmonary imaging characteristics, it is indicated that it can lead to
severe lung disease in some patients3 . And
there is interpersonal transmission during the incubation period of the
disease4 . At present, the prevention and
control of COVID-19 is still in a critical period in China and even in
the world. As the designated hospital for patients with COVID-19, Wuhan
University Zhongnan Hospital actively accepts and treats pregnant women
with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. In this study, we compared the
vaginal delivery outcomes between pregnant women with clinical diagnosis
of COVID-19 in the obstetric isolation ward of our hospital and pregnant
women without COVID-19 in the ordinary ward, and analyzed prognosis of
neonates delivered by pregnant woman with
clinical diagnosis of COVID-19.
Indicate the effects of vaginal delivery on pregnant women and newborns
after a full assessment. In order to protect the perinatal safety of
this special group of pregnant women and avoid intrahospital spread of
COVID-19, according to the national guidelines for the diagnosis and
treatment of COVID-19 and the treatment process of the clinical cases in
our hospital, we summarized the experience of vaginal delivery of
pregnant women with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 during this
epidemic, and put forward the following suggestions for reference.
