About

The Care of the critically ill obstetric patient course offered by Cardiff University will help you learn about the identification, management and care of the obstetric women who becomes acutely unwell during pregnancy, labour or the postnatal period.

Overview

What you will study

Care of the critically ill obstetric patient is complex, and the incidence of this patient group is increasing, with a recent study identifying that 10% of pregnant women needed level 3 critical care during the first wave of COVID-19, and the UK NHS identifying 20% of Critical Care COVID-19 admissions as unvaccinated pregnant women (October 2021). This Care of the critically ill obstetric patient course offered by Cardiff University will discuss that.
