Expressway & Elevator Deliveries

How many times have we said, “All patients can make it to L&D…”? Most times this statement is true, however, deliveries can and do occur outside the labor & delivery setting. All EMS & ER professionals should have a basic understanding of the necessary steps in resuscitation of a newborn. Most infants are healthy and require little more than “catching & clamping”, however, others may require more extensive resuscitative measures. Using the mnemonics, “keep ’em pink, warm, & sweet” & “TOT’s & BOB’s” will assist in these potentially stressful situations. This course has been designed to teach the “what you really need to know (& will actually remember)” information regarding neonatal assessment & resuscitation.
