Learning Objectives:
  • Review maternal physiologic changes of pregnancy
  • Identify AHA 2010 guidelines for cardiac arrest in pregnancy
  • Discuss perimortem cesarean delivery

    • Submission Description:
    Survey research has shown that Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification may not necessarily translate to adequate performance of maternal resuscitation skills during an actual arrest. This Maternal Arrest pilot program prepares both pre-hospital and in-hospital participants how to manage this rare unpredictable obstetrical emergency through simulated training experiences that pose no risk to mother and fetus.
