?:abstract
  • After its identification as a human pathogen in 2019, the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has spread rapidly around the world. Health care workers worldwide have had the task of preparing and responding to the pandemic with little evolving data or guidelines. Regarding the protocols for our labor and delivery unit, we focused on applying the four pillars of biomedical ethics-beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice-while considering the women, their fetuses, their significant others and support persons, health care professionals and auxiliary staff, and society as a whole. We also considered the downstream effect of our decisions in labor and delivery on other disciplines of medicine, including pediatrics, anesthesiology, and critical care. This article focuses on how these prima facie principles helped guide our recommendations in this unprecedented time.
