In the high-stakes realm of aeromedical obstetrics, the administration of vasopressors during pregnancy demands a nuanced understanding of maternal-fetal physiology and pharmacology.
This lecture, enriched with a compelling case study of an atypical, high-risk obstetrics call in the aeromedical environment, explores the intricate dynamics of vasopressor use in pregnancy. Attendees will delve into the physiological adaptations of pregnancy and the implications of vasoactive medications on maternal hemodynamics and fetal well-being.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, the participant will be able to understand vasopressor pharmacology in high-risk obstetrics.
  • Upon completion, the participant will be able to analyze maternal-fetal physiology implications.
  • Upon completion, the participant will be able to develop strategies for optimizing maternal perfusion while mitigating fetal risks during aeromedical transport.
