Name
Prehospital Management of Obstetric and Gynecologic Hemorrhage
Description
Obstetric and gynecologic hemorrhage are uncommon but high-risk emergencies in the prehospital setting that require early recognition and intervention. EMS clinicians may encounter hemorrhage related to postpartum bleeding or early pregnancy loss, or non–pregnancy-related gynecologic conditions, often with limited history and evolving physiology. This session reviews a structured, physiology-driven approach to prehospital management of obstetric and gynecologic hemorrhage, emphasizing early identification of life-threatening bleeding, hemorrhage control, hemodynamic support, and destination decision-making.
