Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed29-year-old woman for maternal-sepsis recognition, coordinated ownership, reassessment, and handoff practice. About 7 simulated minutes.
What you will practise
- Connect the postpartum clock, infection pattern, organ dysfunction, and whole person.
- Recognize a maternal-sepsis emergency without fever-, score-, source-, or single-value closure.
- Bring qualified sepsis, source, newborn, and dignity-centered owners together.
- Review supplied infectious, noninfectious, culture, lactate, perfusion, and source evidence.
- Record bounded immediate-care and source-control intent, then review the strict later report.
- Hand off shock, source, organ, antimicrobial, VTE, newborn, survivor, and outcome risk.
