Protocols for High-Risk Pregnancies
Classifying pregnancies as "normal" or "high risk" is an effective way to deliver extra attention to patients who need medical care the most. All pregnancies must be carefully evaluated to determine whether there are or will be risk factors. Some patients have factors, such as diabetes or history of a premature delivery, at the beginning of pregnancy that place them in a high-risk category. Others start with normal pregnancies but subsequently develop risk factors, such as reptured membranes or pregnancy-induced hypertension. These factors may develop suddenly during the course of pregnancy; therefore, it is extremely important to be able to identify them as soon as they occur and have a protocol for management.
