Provide staff with knowledge and skills to identify early warning signs of maternal and infant distress.
In a country where obstetric mortality rates are alarmingly high, providing comprehensive education with a focus beyond the day of delivery is vital. Quality OB prioritizes the unwavering care being delivered by clinicians throughout the prenatal, delivery, and postpartum stages.

"Shoulder Dystocia: Occurs in just 1% of deliveries, but considered one of the top causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity, as well as maternal morbidity.
Post-partum Hemorrhage: Frequently occurs in 10-15% of post-partum women.
Maternal Sepsis: Perhaps the most preventable, but still accounts for up to 28% of maternal deaths.
Hypertensive Disorders: Affects as many as 10% of all pregnancies, can cause premature birth, and is responsible for roughly 17% of maternal mortality."
The most common obstetric emergency is postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), which is defined as excessive bleeding following childbirth. PPH can occur within 24 hours of delivery or up to several weeks postpartum. It is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Prompt recognition and proactive measures, including active management of the third stage of labor, are crucial and can help reduce the risk of PPH.
Guidelines for maternal care are frequently being reviewed and updated to help improve patient care and outcomes. Clinicians should seek expert guidance from physician and nursing leadership organizations, such as ACOG and AWHONN, along with NICHD, SMFM, and AIM. In addition, state-based perinatal quality collaboratives, such as CMQCC, provide resources and updates on the latest guidelines for maternal care. Guidelines also come in the form of regulations from governing and accrediting bodies such as CMS, TJC, DNV, and state-based maternal care designation authorities.
Instill emergency readiness by providing comprehensive education that helps ensure teams are prepared to manage high-risk obstetric patients. Explore how you can establish a cohesive care team, reduce risk, and improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
