CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION The goal of our 19th Annual Conference on High Risk and Critical Care Obstetrics is to provide you with the most current and vital clinical information on caring for the high risk or critically ill pregnant patient. Current data on key issues in the management and care of the high risk pregnant patient will be presented in a format and atmosphere in
which treatment options will be generated to face some of these challenges. Topics have been selected
based on past participant conference evaluation requests, clinical expert input, practice guidelines,
literature review, and our online needs assessment
survey of healthcare
professionals involved
in the care of the high
risk pregnancy.
The faculty for this
conference are nationally renowned professionals
currently working with
high risk and critically ill pregnant women. Emphasis will be placed on specific complications that place the patient at high risk and the technology required to support
the patient.
