In which situation would it be permissible to delay transport for a pregnant woman in full arrest?

Delaying transport for a pregnant woman in full arrest may be justified if there is an immediate need for advanced airway access. In critical situations such as cardiac arrest, securing an adequate airway is essential for providing effective ventilation and maintaining oxygenation. If advanced airway management is necessary, performing this intervention before transporting the patient can significantly impact her chances of survival and neurological outcomes.

Providing advanced airway access allows for controlled ventilation, especially considering the physiological changes during pregnancy that can make airway management more challenging. Prioritizing airway establishment in the setting of a full arrest can therefore be a crucial step in resuscitation efforts.

The other situations do not justify a delay. Emergency personnel should always be available to assist in emergencies, and proximity to a hospital should not dictate the decision to delay transport in a critical case like this. Additionally, a pregnant woman in full arrest is not considered stable, so this factor cannot be used to justify a delay in transport.
