Join LPCA for the final installment of our maternal mortality series, “Preeclampsia & Maternal Health.” This session will explore the correlation between NICU admissions, infant mortality, and maternal health outcomes.
This session will cover preeclampsia as a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Participants will learn its causes, risk factors, and early diagnostic criteria. The talk will highlight complications such as eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, stroke, and fetal growth restriction. Evidence‑based management, including antihypertensives, aspirin, magnesium sulfate, timely delivery, postpartum care, and follow-up, will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on prevention, early recognition, and referral to reduce maternal deaths, empowering primary care physicians, LPCA staff, and healthcare workers to improve maternal outcomes.
This training is for Louisiana FQHCs and FQHC Look-Alikes ONLY!
