About our class: Our faculty travels throughout the world offering 
comprehensive training programs designed to enhance your teams' obstetrical transport 
knowledge. We present the class in the comfort of your own facility, thereby 
eliminating unnecessary expenses of sending staff out of town for training, 
covering shifts or paying overtime.

Why educate our teams? How many teams have been involved in an obstetrical 
transport that sounded easy enough, when everything took a turn for the worse?  
Many transport programs are very uncomfortable with transporting high-risk 
maternal patients!  This situation creates unnecessary stress and places the 
institution at risk for liability! Is your team prepared to deal with an 
obstetrical crisis in transport?  Is your procedure manual and medical direction clear 
and concise regarding the maternal transports that you do?

Target Audience:  Registered Nurses, Paramedics, Respiratory Therapists.
This class is designed to prepare health care providers to care for high risk 
obstetrical patients in the pre-hospital, hospital, and interfacility 
transport setting. Class participants may include EMS & Emergency Room professionals, 
Critical Care Transport Team members (ground and air), or others interested 
in expanding their knowledge base. It is highly recommended that all health 
care professionals responsible for assessment, stabilization or transport of 
maternal patients take this course. 

Goals / Objectives of this Seminar:
1. Familiarize student with the specialized needs of obstetrical patients in 
transport.
2. Understand common conditions warranting transport. Adequately assess 
maternal patients, provide proper interventions necessary for stabilization and 
appropriate care enroute. 
3. Recognize abnormal fetal heart rate and contraction patterns and describe 
interventions.
4. Identify risks and benefits to maternal transports, and when to say "no" 
to a transport.
5. Understand emergency childbirth and related complicated deliveries.
