Abstract

Recent confidential enquires into maternal deaths in the UK have concluded that deaths due to obstetric hemorrhage have nearly doubled during the past triennium. The latest "Each baby Counts "Reported by Royal college of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has noted that approximately 76% of perinatal deaths and brain injuries could have been avoided by an alternative management. Lack of knowledge and human factors were the main contributory factors to poor outcomes. Substandard care is often due to "too little being done too late ", especially while managing emergencies during antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum. All health care professionals including nurses should be familiar with management of emergencies with pregnancy.
