Maternal Mortality and Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) continues to rise in the United States. Lecture-based courses are helpful to update providers on new treatments and interventions. But, simulation training remains a critical way to integrate and cement that knowledge through hands-on practice. We feel the timing is important given that simulation opportunities have been hampered over the past several years secondary to COVID-pandemic restrictions.

This simulation training course will divide participants into teams that will rotate through four different critical care scenario/stations. Each station will have two different simulation the participant must complete. In addition, two skills stations which will teach skills intraosseous access (IO) and compression sutures for postpartum hemorrhage.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how to diagnose sepsis in pregnancy.
  • Gain knowledge and skills to manage postpartum hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, balloon tamponade, surgical packing, uterine compression sutures, and hysterectomy.
  • Define the nuances and treatment of substance use disorder, specifically opioid use disorder.
  • Describe and hands-on practice in maternal cardiac arrest.
  • Discuss and review vascular access in the critically ill.
