We review a talk by Dr. Sara Gray from SMACC (Social Media and Critical Care) conference in June 2016,\\xa0Resuscitative hysterotomy, which is the new name for perimortem c-section [1]. In this talk she challenges the "4 minute" rule: if resuscitative efforts following maternal circulatory arrest are unsuccessful, cesarean delivery should be commenced at 4 minutes and completed by 5 minutes to optimize fetal outcome.\\xa0

Then we delve into core content on pregnancy emergencies using Rosen\\u2019s Emergency Medicine (8th edition) Chapter 98and Tintinalli\\u2019s Emergency Medicine (8th edition) Chapter 178 as a guide, discussing nausea and vomiting, hyperemesis gravidarum, bacteriuria, and vaginal bleeding in the first trimester.

Thanks for listening!
