A high-risk obstetric department requires more than a standard OB ultrasound protocol. It needs a coordinated library covering Maternal-Fetal Medicine imaging, fetal surveillance, procedures, emergency response, reporting, safety, and quality assurance.

NYCIconsult has prepared this practical master checklist to help hospitals, MFM practices, ultrasound departments, educators, and program leaders identify the protocols needed for a comprehensive high-risk OB service.

What the checklist includes

• 245 protocol topics organized into 14 operational domains
• Core OB ultrasound, fetal growth, biophysical profile, and Doppler protocols
• Multiple gestations, placenta, umbilical cord, and fetal echocardiography
• Fetal anomaly-specific imaging and maternal-condition surveillance
• Invasive procedures, fetal therapy, and acute-care pathways
• Reporting, critical-result communication, safety, quality assurance, and administration
• A standardized structure for developing each departmental protocol
