All emergency situations encountered in obstetrics and gynecology are always considered life-threatening. An emergency nurse should perform an assessment of the potential or actual risks related to a patient’s history of daily living or medications. Some obstetric emergencies are truly sudden and catastrophic, such as a ruptured aneurysm, massive pulmonary embolus, or complete abruptio placentae. An emergency nurse needs to recognize that certain changes in a patient’s condition can indicate an emergency that requires immediate intervention.
