This unit provides students with the knowledge to assess and treat obstetric and neonate patients in prehospital environments. Students learn the physiology of normal and high-risk pregnancy, and how to apply appropriate prehospital management strategies and interventions to obstetric patients. This unit focuses on the systematic and team approach to patient care when assessing and treating obstetric emergencies, with an emphasis on the evidence-based management of prehospital labour, emergency delivery, and immediate care of the newborn. Students will develop knowledge of diverse cultural beliefs and behaviours, including Aboriginal cultural perspectives, to guide them with providing culturally sensitive and dignified care for obstetric patients.

This is a knowledge-based unit that develops awareness and understanding of the appropriate care of obstetric and neonatal patients in the prehospital setting. Students will be assessed on their ability to use clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills to make informed treatment decisions in time-sensitive situations. Application of obstetric practical skills including emergency delivery occurs in PSP3103 Advanced Paramedical Practice 2. Case study scenarios are used extensively in this unit so that students can practice applying their knowledge to complex emergency care situations.
