High Risk OB Emergencies in EMS (Part 2)

Dr. Erik Axene and Matt Ball continue their deep dive into high-risk obstetric emergencies that EMS providers rarely encounter but must be prepared to manage.

Part 2 focuses on antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum complications, including preeclampsia, eclampsia, ectopic pregnancy, placental emergencies, delivery complications, neonatal resuscitation, and postpartum hemorrhage. The discussion emphasizes practical, prehospital decision-making, early recognition, and preparation for rare but high-risk OB calls.
