EP117 - Mastering Severe Postpartum Haemorrhage
Description
This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion.

This episode outlines a simulated medical scenario involving a 25-year-old first-time mother experiencing a severe postpartum hemorrhage after a normal delivery. The core purpose is to assess a medical officer's ability to diagnose and manage this life-threatening condition effectively. It details the information available to the examining medical professional, including the patient's vital signs and delivery details, then provides a series of tasks and questions designed to evaluate their problem-solving skills, communication with the midwife, and knowledge of appropriate medical interventions, like identifying potential causes such as uterine atony and recommending treatments.
