Jamie Otremba will talk about the most common emergencies in today’s patients. She will show you how to diagnose and treat pre-eclampsia, HELLP, shoulder dystocia, abruption, previa, postpartum hemorrhage, and amniotic fluid embolism.

Jamie has learned a lot from her experience in high risk OBs. She wants to share with you many of the effective interventions that she has acquired throughout her career.

Through enlightening case studies, persuasive evidence-based research, and an engaging presentation style, she will teach you the current trends, treatments and issues in high risk obstetrics. In this recording, you will learn new strategies and techniques that can impact the maternal and fetal outcomes of your patients.

1. Evaluate the two-phase process that results in pre-eclampsia.
2. Compare the pharmacologic management options for preterm labor.
3. Determine the two most important factors in assessing risk in elective induction.
4. Explain the most effective way to change medical staff practices related to high risk elective inductions.
5. Interpret the possible causes of a post-partum hemorrhage and appropriate management for each.
6. Discuss strategies for collaborative care with the ICU and Emergency Department.
7. Explain why a d-dimer is no longer recommended as part of the evaluation for pulmonary embolism in pregnancy.
8. Utilize the latest ACOG recommendations for preventing blood loss during the delivery with an accreta.
9. Compare the varying degrees of abnormal placental implantation and how management might differ for each.
10. Analyze why neurological outcomes with amniotic fluid embolism are so poor and the rapid interventions that could make a difference.

There are pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and HELLP.
