CONFERENCE GOAL To provide a forum for perinatal/neonatal staff nurses, nurse educators, nurse managers and advanced practice nurses to get updates on current best practices for maximizing patient safety during obstetrical emergencies to foster the best possible birth outcomes for both mother and newborn. OBJECTIVES As a result of attending this continuing nursing education program, participants will be able to: Discuss the impetus which has led to a focus on patient safety in perinatal practice. Identify two issues which affect the safety of the perinatal patient in daily nursing practice. Identify the application of one communication tool that would increase the safety of perinatal patients in your practice. Explain how risk factors related to morbid obesity can complicate the labor and birth process and put both mother and baby at risk. Describe the special preparations and precautions needed to safely care for the morbidly obese mother with high risk factors that could become an OB Emergency. Identify three risk factors that predispose intrapartum patients to postpartum hemorrhage. Describe AWHONN s Postpartum Hemorrhage Project including why it is needed and its expected outcomes. Discuss how to address the challenges of providing mother s breast milk for the newborn when the mother is critically ill after a life threatening OB Emergency. Describe how to provide alternatives to own mother s milk, when mother is critically ill after giving birth, to optimize nutrition for the at risk newborn. Describe how to provide anticipatory guidance to mothers and families about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that may occur after a life threatening OB Emergency. Explain how and where to refer a mother for treatment for a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
