OB Admissions
OB patients are generally admitted only for when they are in active labor unless an OB Triage patient requires more than 24 hours of observation. Other OB admissions might be for a C-section post-op problem or a pregnant woman (>20 weeks gestation) but with a different primary diagnosis requiring admission…Although these technically would go to NW for admission they might be admitted to OB with permission from OB nursing staff.
