Obstetric Emergencies
In this episode of EMTprep Pulse Check, we explore the high-risk, high-pressure world of obstetric emergencies. Listeners are guided through the key stages of normal labor and delivery before diving into complications such as nuchal cord, breech birth, prolapsed cord, and postpartum hemorrhage. Special attention is given to decision-making during out-of-hospital deliveries, scene safety, and communication with receiving facilities.
The episode emphasizes quick recognition, calm action, and the importance of clear protocols when faced with maternal or neonatal emergencies. Real-world examples help translate textbook knowledge into field-ready skills that can improve outcomes for both mother and child.
