Hi
So i had a baby on thursday. I had been terrified about going to the hospital. I found the midwives were great with their use of ppe. However more senior staff were not. I had to go to theatre for delivery and the aneathnetist that came to do my spinal had a mask on but had cut the bottom strings off so it was just hanging. The other aneathnetist did not wear a mask at all in theatre and was very close to me throughout. The other removed mask after procedure and then was also close to me talking about epidural. Am i wrong to be annoyed? I was more concerned about my baby at the time who was distressed. All other theatre staff had masks on and the doctor had a visor on. Do you think we could have been exposed? The doctor came to talk to me after and had mask on but pulled down to talk. I had a test when admitted that came back negative but so worried we will have caught it there. I spoke to a midwife after about it who said they should have had masks on but that the air in theatre is pressurised and constantly recirculated. I think she was trying to make me feel better though
So worried now ive had time to reflect
