Traditional programs do not prepare OB staff for maternal cardiac arrest, resulting in missed opportunities, harm, and even death.

The risk of cardiac arrest in pregnancy is rare, but it can happen to any woman, whether she has known risk factors or not. Patient death or poor outcome in these cases can have a devastating effect, not just for the family but for staff involved. Caregivers in OB are used to celebrating new life, and may be unprepared, professionally, and emotionally, to face end-of-life scenarios.

Specialized training for a confident and competent OB staff.

Developed in partnership with St. Luke’s, HealthStream’s ALS OB program focuses on understanding how, when, and why to modify the standard algorithms when caring for a pregnant or newly-delivered patient. This program was written for OB clinicians by OB experts to give them the understanding they need to confidently and competently change how they provide care for this unique population.
