The event, organized by the Obstetric Emergencies Training Team of ULS Amadora/Sintra, took place in the Auditorium of Hospital Fernando Fonseca. Multidisciplinary participation ranged from pre-hospital care to home birth support, including Neonatology for the first time, strengthening the link between maternal and newborn care.
Topics such as crisis communication, delivering bad news, and supporting professionals in adverse events were discussed. Coordinated approaches between specialties were highlighted in cases of arrhythmia and altered consciousness in pregnant women. The session on bedside innovation emphasized technology's role in complementing physiological care.
The panel on birth plans in emergency contexts was the most attended, stressing the importance of prior dialogue, informed consent, and rigorous clinical record-keeping. The meeting concluded with discussions on planned home birth and the need for coordination protocols between home, pre-hospital, and hospital settings.
More than a scientific update, the meeting served as a space for exchange and commitment to continue training, communicating, and working as a team, aiming for the safety and health of women, babies, families, and professionals.
The organization highlighted the fundamental participation of speakers, moderators, and professionals from ULS Amadora/Sintra and other institutions for the initiative's success.
