Title: H3 - The Excitement's Not over! Managing the Third Stage of Labor: What's Important and How a Collaborative, Evidence-Based Approach Can Help You Manage the Golden Hour

Disciplines: Childbearing (CB), Newborn Care (N), Professional Issues (PI)

Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify top areas of maternal morbidity and mortality related to the third stage and immediate postpartum period.
  2. Describe the evidence supporting key components of improving outcomes and reducing risk related to the third stage of labor
  3. List at least three evidence-based strategies every birth setting should consider in collaborative care of the third stage and immediate postpartum period.
Submission Description:
Managing potential complications of the third stage of labor actually begins on admission and involves all disciplines. Clinicians must assess risk factors associated with potential maternal and fetal complications while also addressing the normal physiology of the bonding and recovery process. Evidenced based practice strategies exist and can be incorporated into a multidisciplinary approach to care that can reduce the risk of maternal hemorrhage and promote maternal-infant bonding. Using a case study approach and risk management strategies, participants will learn how the initial ‘golden’ hour contributes to the maternal and fetal recovery process is essential to the overall wellbeing of the mother baby dyad. Resources for policy development and training will be included, as well as tips on risk management.
