🩺 Critical Care in Obstetrics Online Course 2025
Comprehensive Bundle (SMFM)
📌 Overview
The Critical Care in Obstetrics Online Course 2025: Comprehensive Bundle by the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine is a high-level, case-based training program focused on managing critically ill pregnant patients.
The original SMFM online course uses case-based learning and interactive assessments. This store listing supplies course files, not enrollment in the SMFM learning platform or access to its quizzes, surveys, testing feedback, or CME services.
🎯 Target Audience
- OB/GYN physicians
- Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists
- Critical care physicians
- Residents & fellows
- Nurses and advanced practice providers
📦 Course Structure
- 📚 23 Comprehensive Modules
- 🧪 The original SMFM platform describes the following learning components; interactive assessments and surveys are not included as platform access with these files:
- Pre-test
- Case-based learning
- Post-test
- Evaluation survey
- 🧩 Also available as focused bundles:
- Cardiac disease
- Hypertensive disorders
- Obstetric hemorrhage
- Acute emergencies
🧠 What You’ll Learn

- Congenital heart disease
- Myocardial infarction in pregnancy
- Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM)
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Maternal cardiac arrest
🫁 Respiratory & Advanced Support

- Trauma in pregnancy
- Drug overdose
🩸 Obstetric Emergencies
- Amniotic fluid embolism
- Postpartum hemorrhage & massive transfusion
- Placenta accreta spectrum
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
⚠️ Hypertensive & Endocrine Crises
- Preeclampsia & eclampsia
- Hypertensive emergencies
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
- Thyroid storm
🦠 Infection & Sepsis
- Sepsis in pregnancy
- Thromboembolism prevention & controversies
🧬 Physiology & Systems-Based Care
- Blood pressure physiology
- Coagulation cascade
- Teamwork and communication in emergencies
🎓 Learning Objectives
The original course presents learning objectives in the following areas; the supplied files are study material and do not certify clinical competence:
- Manage critically ill obstetric patients using evidence-based strategies
- Apply pregnancy-specific physiology in clinical decision-making
- Recognize and treat life-threatening obstetric emergencies
- Implement multidisciplinary teamwork approaches
- Improve outcomes in high-risk pregnancies
⭐ Why This Course Stands Out
- ✔️ Designed by SMFM experts in maternal critical care
- ✔️ Strong case-based learning approach
- ✔️ Covers real ICU-level obstetric scenarios
- ✔️ Case-based learning; provider-platform testing and feedback are separate from the supplied files.
- ✔️ Ideal for both training and advanced practice
🚀 Clinical Value
The educational topics are intended to support clinical review; viewing course files does not establish procedural competence or guarantee patient outcomes. Topics include:
- Act quickly in high-stakes obstetric emergencies
- Reduce maternal morbidity and mortality
- Improve coordination in multidisciplinary care teams
- Apply ICU-level thinking to pregnancy-specific conditions
