Abstract
Only a few mothers each year die in hospital or at home in the UK and many women deliver safely (CEMACH, 2007). It can be a terrifying situation for those who provide care to women who need resuscitating and training in basic in-hospital resuscitation once a year does not fully prepare an individual to perform with skill or confidence in such a stressful and emotionally charged situation. Updating skills regularly and practising them in a clinical environment by means of drills or scenarios is the best method in preparing individuals for this rare but catastrophic emergency (CEMACH, 2007). In this article the problems and unique difficulties in resuscitating women are examined the necessary modifications to standard CPR guidelines are described.
