Maternity episode 4 with Stacey Robinson and Sarah Brown

Caroline Philips is back for the fourth instalment of the maternity mini series. Caroline is joined by Stacey Robinson the LAS practice lead midwife and Sarah Brown the LAS practice lead paramedic. In this episode they focus the on management of various pathologies, including bleeding, cord prolapse, shoulder dystocia, and all types of other maternal emergencies and treatment modalities seen within the pre-hospital environment. They dig into the technical and non-technical elements of care for the above pathologies and some of the different manoeuvres that optimise the mother and baby’s health in difficult deliveries. In this final episode we hear from these two specialists as they draw upon their experience, knowledge and oversight to relay some of the most essential aspects of care in maternal emergencies.  Our thanks goes to London Ambulance Service for allowing these professional perspectives to be shared and for being a forerunner in recruiting midwives and specialist paramedics with a maternal pre-hospital care focus to support the wider frontline staff. We hope you enjoy this episode with two fantastic clinicians.
