Get updated in the most modern approach to Obstetric Emergencies both in the different periods of pregnancy and in labor and postpartum"

Nowadays it is common in large hospitals for the obstetric and gynecological emergency services to be independent of the general hospital emergency services. This is an important feature, since the midwife must not only be prepared to deal with obstetric pathology itself, but also with all types of non-obstetric complaints that may occur to the pregnant woman.

Among her daily tasks is not only emergency care, but also assistance in the delivery room and operating room, where the life of the patient, both mother and fetus, are in danger. Therefore, it is vitally important that healthcare professionals are prepared to deal with any type of unexpected situation in the normal course of a pregnancy, both in the early stages of pregnancy and in subsequent trimesters.

The modules that make up this professional master’s degree delve precisely into the latest and most interesting issues in the area of Obstetric and Neonatal Emergencies for Midwives. Health professionals will carry out an extensive and in-depth review of non-obstetric pathologies present during pregnancy, frequent neonatal emergencies distinguished by stages, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and special situations such as pseudocyesis or gender violence during pregnancy.

All this under a unique theoretical and practical perspective, as the teaching team has made special emphasis on each topic through numerous multimedia resources of high quality, useful in the work of contextualization of all the theory.
