Help with Presentation on PRECIPITOUS DELIVERY

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

Hi all,

I will be giving a 1 hour presentation at work ( I am an ER RN) on Precipitous delivery since we sometimes get one or two a month. I am very comfortable delivering myself; however a lot of my co-workers are not and have a lot of questions.

I am wondering if anyone knows any web sites that have downloadable videos that I could put into the presentation without requiring a web connection, and preferably free.

Also any tips on what to add...

THanks for any help,

I used to do OB, and now I'm in the ER.

I'd be fine with EMT's not massaging the uterus, the placenta may not be out, and the uterus should naturally clamp down. If they load and go, we can deal with it.

I do want to see a warm baby, and skin to skin is the best way to do that. Wrapping the baby right up with mom gives you two patients in one glance. So long as Mom is calm and able to follow instructions she's going to be pretty darn careful.

Do you have pitocin on the trucks?

Yes we do have Pit on the truck...

Not an EMT but I am surprised you carry pit on the truck. Do you carry cytotec? Pit has a pretty long peak (>15 minutes) and is more difficult to administer than cytotec PR. Just curious.
