Speaking Topics
Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) Interpretation for Non-OB Professionals
FHR interpretation can be a challenge for non-OB folks. Honestly, what do all of those "squiggles" mean? Competent care of the fetus means more than "taking care of the mom." Specific care & treatment of the fetus can be initiated after accurate assessment of the FHR tracing is complete. Incorporating both AWHONN & ACOG principles, FHR baseline assessment changes, along with common deceleration patterns including etiology, risk and treatments will be reviewed. The participant will learn to recognize ominous FHR tracing patterns and initiate appropriate treatments. The class concludes with numerous high-risk OB scenarios with associated FHR tracings for interpretation.
Course length: 60 minutesImmediate Vaginal Delivery: "The baby is COMING!"
Unless you have "Obstetrician" after your name, no one wants to hear this phrase. The purpose of this lecture is to first identify signs of imminent vaginal delivery. Then there will be a detailed review of the procedure for vaginal delivery. Complications such as nucal cord, prolapsed umbilical cord, meconium and breech presentation will also be discussed. Immediate care of the maternal and neonate will be listed. A review of NRP principles will be given to aid in neonatal transition to extra-uterine life. In addition, discussion of immediate care to the post partum mom will be reviewed including managing vaginal lacerations, delivery of the placenta, uterine atony, and post partum hemorrhage. Finally, we end the lecture by convincing the parents to name the baby after you...just kidding!
Course length: 60 minutesThe Mama Trauma: Oh no... she's PREGNANT!
One patient or two? This lecture will begin with a review of the most common obstetric trauma etiologies such as blunt, penetrating, burn and domestic violence. A review of fundal height assessment will help you decide if you truly have one patient or two. Inferior Vena Cava Syndrome (IVCS) is a simple principle that can make the difference between life and death for your maternal and fetal patient. We no longer subscribe to the cliche of "if we save the mom, we will save the baby". The truth is there are numerous techniques you can be using concurrently to optimize both maternal and fetal outcomes. We will then proceed to the primary survey where obstetric considerations will be discussed such as airway failure rates and useful "tricks of the trade" pearls. Assessment and management priorities of the secondary survey will also take into account obstetric considerations. It is only during the secondary survey that fetal assessment and uterine assessment is attempted. Review of hypovolemic presentation for the obstetric patient will be reviewed as the pregnant patient may be in Class III shock before there is a change in the maternal B/P. A discussion related to ACLS guidelines specifically for the obstetric patient will be covered. Finally, the concept, practicality and preparation for a perimortem cesarean section will be discussed.
