Description

Pregnancy-related sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency infection that can take place during pregnancy, childbirth, post-abortion, miscarriage, or the postpartum period. It is the second leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in the US. Fast recognition and treatment of sepsis is key, which means you need to know the signs and symptoms of sepsis in pregnancy, as well as how to screen for sepsis early and initiate treatment. You will learn the unique physiology during and following pregnancy and the challenges healthcare providers face when identifying and managing pregnancy-related sepsis.
