Disciplines: Professional Issues (PI), Childbearing (CB), Advanced Practice (AP)

Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify three fetal heart rate patterns associated with emergent delivery.
  2. Describe three key interventions that can reduce the "event to delivery time" with fetal bradycardia.
  3. Discuss the strengths of your current emergent response practices and three areas where improvement can be made.
Submission Description:
Rapid delivery of a fetus in a safe and timely fashion should be a routine accomplishment for any obstetrical service. This presentation will help institutions respond to the challenge of maintaining a rapid response capability, by presenting a standardized approach to evaluating and responding to fetal heart rate patterns associated with the need for rapid delivery.
