Published on:

•

MNSI is aware of maternal deaths from anaphylaxis.

  • Do all your staff receive training for the management of anaphylaxis as part of their mandatory training?
  • Do you have a specific maternal cardiac arrest emergency call to include obstetricians and neonatologists?
  • Do all resuscitation trolleys in your trust have a scalpel and umbilical cord clamps as an essential kit requirement?
  • Are you aware of the obstetric cardiac arrest quick reference guide from the Resus Council, OAA and MBRRACE?
