CHOP recognizes the critical importance of a workforce rich in varied backgrounds and experiences and engages in ongoing efforts to achieve that through equally varied and non-discriminatory means. A Brief Overview The Special Delivery Unit (SDU) is a vital resource for women and families facing complicated pregnancies due to fetal anomalies By being located within a pediatric hospital, the SDU is uniquely positioned to offer seamless, integrated care that spans both maternal and neonatal needs, which is a significant advantage for families dealing with fetal anomalies. Here’s what sets the SDU apart: Focus on Fetal Anomalies : The SDU’s emphasis on supporting women carrying babies with fetal anomalies means they offer highly personalized care tailored to complex pregnancies. This could involve early diagnosis, close monitoring, and advanced medical interventions to support both mother and child. Comprehensive Care Across the Continuum : The unit doesn't just provide care during labor and delivery; it supports women before, during, and after childbirth. This holistic approach ensures that mothers have access to the right specialists, resources, and emotional support at every stage of their pregnancy. World’s First Pediatric Hospital-based Birthing Facility : Being located in a pediatric hospital allows the SDU to provide immediate access to pediatric specialists if needed, ensuring a smooth transition for babies who require intensive care or surgery after birth. State-of-the-Art Facilities : The two operating rooms dedicated to cesarean sections and fetal surgeries help accommodate the unique needs of the pregnancies being managed in the SDU. The 15-bed Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum (LDRP) rooms provide a nurturing environment for the mothers to labor and recover, while also allowing flexibility for individual care plans. The two infant stabilization rooms ensure that babies born with complications are immediately stabilized by the neonatal team. Skilled, Multidisciplinary Team : The staffing of experienced labor and delivery nurses, a 24-hour obstetrician and certified nurse midwife, and obstetrical technologists ensures that the team is equipped to handle high-risk deliveries. The backup maternal-fetal medicine physician and the availability of pediatric specialists enable a coordinated approach to addressing both maternal and fetal care needs. Compassionate, Individualized Care : The SDU's approach seems centered around not just medical intervention, but also providing compassionate care, which is critical for families facing such difficult circumstances. The emotional and psychological support for these mothers and families is as important as the physical care provided.
