Course Objectives
Obstetric emergencies are high-acuity, low-frequency events. Despite efforts from many collaborating agencies and professional organizations, the maternal mortality rate in the United States continues to remain high. The prerequisite on-line courses are designed to help you identify, assess, and manage women with specific obstetric emergencies such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum hemorrhage, and maternal sepsis. The courses utilize critical thinking concepts presented in a case study format that allow you to apply the knowledge you learn
The overarching objectives are to:
•Demonstrate effective management for pregnant or postpartum women who present with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
•Demonstrate effective management for women who have excessive bleeding after giving birth.
•Demonstrate effective management for maternal sepsis.
•Role-play with a multidisciplinary team using simulation-based cognitive, behavioral, and technical learning strategies to practice management of postpartum hemorrhage.
