When Deliveries Go Bad: The EMS Providers Worst Nightmare

---

For many EMTs and Paramedics the thought of delivering a baby under the best of circumstances is extremely stressful.  Unfortunately, the nature of EMS is that it is hardly ever involved in “routine” child births.   This session will provide a brief overview of routine child births before delving into some of most common problems that EMS providers may encounter.  A former EMT and current Obstetrician, Dr. Mueller will review the symptoms of common complications with delivering a baby and how EMS providers can best treat these patients.  This session will also include examples of how the actions and inactions of pre-hospital care providers can make dramatic differences to these new mothers and babies.
