I hope you come again in the future to educate all those who missed this session. Sincerely, Tim MD April 2007 Course: tm : Advanced-2D Electronic Fetal Monitoring Wow! Thanks! It has been over 10 years since my inpatient OB course. The reintroduction of information was exceptional! Glad you were here! RN-Elmendorf, AFB Best course I have ever been to!

Thank you1 RN-Elmendorf, AFB January 2007 Course: tm : Update Thank you for the update on the NICHD guidelines utilized in the United States as compared to European criteria. This was a great opportunity to increase our expertise as we educate and train in the U.S. RN-Gothenburg, Sweden November 2006 Course: Code Blue FHR I loved this course. Your power point slides had great pictures of ultrasound, abnormal placentas, and other great data. Overall, I enjoyed the ability to gain knowledge and then practice on day two with the hands-on skills drills. This was wonderful and the speaker made it fun. She kept my attention for two days! RN-Denver, CO October 2006 Course: OB Critical Care & Transport Course Excellent! I like to know hard concepts and the speaker made them simple with her descriptions. She kept my attention all 3 days. This course would be beneficial for all of our nurses, at all skills levels. RN-St. Louis, MO Get her back again! The speaker was a fountain of knowledge! Please send me her brain-phenomenal! Thank you for coming to MO. RN-St. Louis, MO May 2004 Course: Perinatal Emergencies 2 weeks after the course: I wanted to let the speaker know how her teaching impacted my care. I recently had a patient arrive in triage who has abruptio placentae. Prior to the class, I am not sure I would have been as alert to the patient s signs and symptoms. But I remembered things from class and I alerted the perinatal team and we got the patient in for an emergency cesarean section in less than 9 minutes!!! We were all pleased. Mother and baby are fine! RN-Plantation, FL February 2001 Course: Labor to Birth-Critical Concepts in Management I am a fairly new RN in labor and delivery and this was the best education I have received on L&D topics since my hire.

Overview of EFM Evidence: What we know now that we did not know then. An Extensive Evaluation of the Evolution of EFM Evidence-based Literature; a worldwide perspective Toxic Uterine Compartments: Top 3 Causes of Perinatal Mortality The leading causes of perinatal mortality are preeclampsia, embolism, and hemorrhage. Early identification of patients at risk for severe morbidity are identified and implications for the fetus are outlined. Critical Concepts in Maternal Host Oxygen Transport Advanced principles in maternal adaptations & morbidity on cardiac output, oxygen transport, demand, and oxygen delivery are discussed. Interventions to optimize oxygen delivery while limiting maternal demand are evaluated. Maternal Adaptations Toxic Uterine Compartments: Top 3 Causes of Maternal Death Cardiac Output Principles Oxygen Transport & Delivery as Applied to the Demands of Pregnancy List Interventions to Optimize Delivery while Limiting Demand Add Case Studies *** Regulatory Mechanisms influencing Oxygen Transport to the Uterus Placental pathology significantly reduces oxygen transport to the fetus. As CO2 builds in the fetal compartment, respiratory acidosis develops. Placental and umbilical cord abnormalities are explored for implications on maternal and fetal plans of care. Fetal Regulatory Mechanisms influencing Oxygen Delivery Understanding physiologic principles in fetal development enhance the learner s ability to decipher neurologic & hormonal regulatory mechanisms of the fetal heart. Fetal heart rate modulation and physiologic implications are explained in depth. Hemodynamics of the FHR: Is it only a Pulse? Direct measurements of fetal vital signs are limited to the FHR: pulse. Understanding fluctuations as the evolve into various periodic and nonperiodic patterns are key components of mastery Evolution of the FHR: Acute vs. Chronic Hypoxia.Case Studies from the Field Progressive deterioration of the fetal heart may be slow and incidioius leading to a misdiagnosis. Both acute and chronic evolution are explored in a variety of case studies. Lessons learned CONTACT HOURS: 14.8 Total 2
