These are all situations thatthe pre-hospital practitioner may attend. This text and the accompanying integrated on-line and'hands on' course will help practitioners identify andmanage a range of time-critical obstetric emergencies specificallyin the pre-hospital setting, and provides a structured examinationand assessment technique as an aid to determining what treatmentshould be provided before transport, as well as when and howurgently transport should be initiated.
