The Pre-hospital Obstetric Emergency Training (POET)
programme provides an introduction to the obstetric patient and the
anatomical and physiological changes that occur during pregnancy
(including interpretation of patient-held records and rapid
assessment of the obstetric patient). It includes clear definitions
and describes risk factors, diagnosis and pre-hospital management
of significant problems that occur in both early and late pregnancy
and the immediate postnatal period. These are all situations that
the pre-hospital practitioner may attend.
This text and the accompanying integrated on-line and
‘hands on’ course will help practitioners identify and
manage a range of time-critical obstetric emergencies specifically
in the pre-hospital setting, and provides a structured examination
and assessment technique as an aid to determining what treatment
should be provided before transport, as well as when and how
urgently transport should be initiated.
POET is of relevance to paramedics, ambulance staff, doctors,
and nurses working in the emergency pre-hospital setting and to
midwives facilitating home births. It will also be of considerable
value to medical and nursing practitioners working in Emergency
Departments and unscheduled care settings where immediate access to
skilled obstetric assistance is not available.
