7 Things Obstetrics with Rachel Tank

OB care is changing fast, and EMS is being pushed to the front lines. Across the U.S., hospital obstetric units are closing, leaving growing “OB deserts” in their wake. That means more 911 calls for labor, delivery, and high-risk pregnancy emergencies. And the data backs it up. Thousands of babies are delivered outside the hospital each year, with life-threatening hemorrhage leading the list of complications. At the same time, the new 2025 guidelines are raising the bar. They sharpen how we manage postpartum hemorrhage and stress the need for rapid treatment of severe hypertension in pregnancy. This episode connects the dots. * What OB deserts mean on the ground * What EMS data is really telling us. * What’s changed in the guidelines * And why better OB training for EMS is no longer optional. If you’re in EMS, this isn’t edge-case medicine anymore. It’s the job. Get CE for listening! 1 hour CAPCE-approved F3 CE.
