ESCONDIDO: Pregnant women with emergencies will require transfer from new hospital to old : North County Times - Californian
"Under the new system, a pregnant woman with an emergency medical condition ---- brought on, for example, by a car accident, injury or some complication with pregnancy ---- would be taken by ambulance or helicopter to the new hospital, where emergency doctors and nurses would stabilize her.
The woman would then typically be taken to the downtown hospital for any additional pregnancy-related care, Steele said.
However, the stabilize-and-transfer method might not work for every patient."
