Title: F4 - What to Do When You Find Yourself in a Puddle of Blood

Disciplines: Childbearing (CB)

Learning Objectives:
  1. Improve multidisciplinary readiness, recognition, response, and reporting of hemorrhage in the obstetrical patient.
  2. Identify skills required in the use of equipment employed in caring for a post partum hemorrhage.
  3. Develop scenarios for stimulation and tool kits for use in obstetrical hemorrhage.
Submission Description:
Using the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC) initiative objectives, a course was developed integrating both didactic and simulation techiques associated with the interdisciplinary care of patients with obstetrical hemorrhage. The etiology, assessment, and treatment of hemorrhage is examined and a hands-on approach to working with the equipment is incorporated into the simulation.
