The notion of two lives scenarios (i.e. mother and baby) presents the paramedic with numerous challenges specific to this area of care. This section begins with an overview of obstetric emergencies and contains chapters that guide the paramedic through the management of a range of maternity‐related presentations. Similarly to the previous sections, paramedics should refer to and check the protocols for each given maternity situation to confirm whether drug therapy is appropriate for a given maternal presentation. After checking the Maternity Care section, further information about dosage or specific drug actions should be sought in the Medicines section (section 7).
