Table I outlines absolute risk factors that, if present on admission to the birthing center for labor and delivery, would prohibit admission to the birthing center. Table II outlines absolute risk factors that, if they develop during labor and delivery, require transfer of the client to a higher level of care. Table III outlines absolute risk factors that, if they develop during the postpartum period in the mother or infant, would require transfer to a higher level of care.

(2) General, spinal, caudal, and/or epidural anesthesia must not be administered in the Center.

(4) Chemical agents may be administered within the individual practitioner's scope of practice to inhibit labor, as a temporary measure, until referral/transfer of the client is complete.
