Obstetric Emergencies

Welcome back to another episode from TheCase.Report!

This month, Orla, Leah and Deirdre sat down to discuss the case of an unwitnessed maternal collapse and the changes in approach to having an expectant mother in your resuscitation room.

Our AITR to oversee our work this week is Dr Andreit Engelbrecht, a fantastic EM Consultant from Connolly Hospital.

Then, we head over to Tallaght Hospital and Dr Aileen McCabe to lead us through the work-up and examination for obstetrics and gynaecology presentations in our emergency departments.

Finally, we turn to our talented obstetric colleagues in the National Maternity Hospital for some further tips and tricks and a full walk-through of the perinatal caesarean section from Professor Mary Higgins.

Right. Let's get to it!
