August 2010

We were fortunate to have a guest speaker for this month’s webinar who serves as a faculty in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Stanford University Medical Center and is medical director at the Perinatal Diagnostic Center in Salinas for Lucille Packard/Stanford University. Dr. Amen Ness provides an informative review of the presentation and management of preeclampsia and discusses common errors as a result of this high-risk condition which has become increasingly prevalent.

Objectives:

• Discuss various presenting symptoms that aide in diagnosis of this condition.
• Review current management recommendations and common errors associated with such management.
• Identify and apply specific risk related strategies to mitigate harm and improve defensibility of lawsuits when claims arise.
