01.13 The Nightmare OB Patient

In this episode we are reviewing a case of a nightmarish high risk OB call. We've all had these calls, where we think it's going to be totally simple... and then we walk into the room. But what happens when it's also an OB patient? How comfortable are you will the resuscitation of the pregnant woman. We did quite a bit of research to assure that we were giving you the best possible information on this one, so I hope you enjoy. If you're interested in my EFM course, it's listed in the works cited below.
