Complications in labor and delivery can escalate in minutes, and many nurses worry they will not know what to do when a birth stops being straightforward. Do you feel unsure when you see abnormal FHR patterns or hear that an emergency cesarean may be needed? This obstetric emergencies and labor complications course provides you with clear, practical guidance, enabling you to recognise risks early, support safer decisions, and protect both mother and baby with absolute confidence.

Throughout the course, you explore dystocia, obstructed labor, and factors that slow or stop cervical dilation, along with evidence-based interventions such as amnioinfusion, labor augmentation, and labor induction. You review the indications and nursing care for forceps and vacuum-assisted birth, high-risk situations that call for cesarean birth, and common obstetric emergencies, including shoulder dystocia, cord prolapse, retained placenta, immediate postpartum hemorrhage, and inverted uterus, always linked to clear, confident nursing actions and decision-making.

By the end of this online course for nurses, midwives, and student nurses, you will feel more prepared to interpret FHR patterns, anticipate complications, and communicate effectively with the wider obstetric team during labor and birth. You practise applying step-by-step nursing care plans to real-world scenarios, so you can respond quickly, prioritise safely, and advocate for mothers and babies.
