Title: B4 - Preparing for Potential Neonatal Compromise: Intrapartum Triggers and Neonatal Assessment

Disciplines: Childbearing (CB), Newborn Care (N)

Learning Objectives:
  1. Describe maternal and fetal indications for Neonatal Team presence at birth
  2. Evaluate EFM tracings that may indicate neonatal compromise at birth
  3. Review quality outcomes before and after implimenation of maternal and fetal triggers
Submission Description:
For high-risk deliveries, a team of neonatal providers should be present prior to birth for optimal neonatal outcomes. A set of predefined criteria to notify the neonatal team decreases variation, improves performance, and optimizes outcomes. This presentation outlines the process of creating and implementing a list of maternal and neonatal triggers requiring neonatal provider presence at birth. Outcomes related to implementation will be discussed.
