Obstetric emergencies, such as complications during labor, hemorrhage, eclampsia, and fetal distress, require rapid and skilled interventions to prevent maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. In Abia State University Teaching Hospital, emergency nurses play a pivotal role in the management of obstetric emergencies, working collaboratively with obstetricians, midwives, and other healthcare professionals. The role of the emergency nurse includes immediate assessment, monitoring, and intervention to stabilize the patient and prevent further complications.
The effectiveness of emergency nursing response in obstetric emergencies is influenced by factors such as the nurses’ level of training, access to necessary equipment, and the ability to recognize early signs of complications. However, there are challenges that may impede optimal care, such as limited resources, high patient volumes, and sometimes inadequate specialized training. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of emergency nursing responses in obstetric emergencies at Abia State University Teaching Hospital, focusing on the timeliness of interventions, the quality of care provided, and the outcomes for both mothers and babies.
Obstetric emergencies demand swift and well-coordinated care to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. While emergency nurses at Abia State University Teaching Hospital are trained to manage obstetric emergencies, challenges related to staffing, resource availability, and training may affect their ability to provide timely and effective care. This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of emergency nursing responses in obstetric emergencies, identifying areas where improvements are needed to enhance maternal and neonatal outcomes.
The study will focus on obstetric emergencies managed by emergency nurses at Abia State University Teaching Hospital. Limitations may include challenges in collecting comprehensive data during emergencies, potential biases in the self-reported experiences of nurses, and difficulty in tracking long-term maternal and neonatal outcomes.
