Submission Description:

Obstetric cardiac arrest (OCA) is a rare occasion that increases anxiety in responding teams. Due to the uniqueness of this population, these events can be challenging to effectively manage and deliver the best care possible. Baylor University Medical Center developed helpful tools and unique training opportunities to increase the comfort level of all responding teams, to allow for nonverbal role identification of team members and to address the specific considerations for the obstetric patient.
