Dr. Anderson is an emergency medicine physician serving at the Northern Navajo Medical Center. |
Description for Providers: Emergency deliveries are rare but high stakes and can include complications no one ever wants to face. In this skills lab, we will focus on managing deliveries in the ED setting without an OB/gyn physician immediately available, including routine deliveries, delivery complications and perimortem c-sections (resuscitative hysterotomy). We will also review neonatal resuscitation and vascular access for neonates including hand-on experience with umbilical vein catheterization.
Description for Nursing Staff: This lab is part of the *Critical Nursing Skills workshop (including the following topics: postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, umbilical IV access) and will provide an overview of these complications, identifying appropriate interventions, and review nursing roles in umbilical IV access and management.
In anticipation of the lab, please take a moment to review the following asynchronous learning prior to the event:
