This webinar will present a case study of an OB trauma patient. The case will discuss prehospital SMART triage and the prehospital and hospital care of the patient, but most importantly, it will provide an overview of the performance improvement patient safety program for this patient. The PIPS process will be discussed along with the interaction of the OR and OB/NICU team in the care of this patient. The presentation will discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to a trauma OB case. Lessons learned both in the trauma arena as well as in the maternal/NICU area will be outlined.
