History
Proprietary & Confidential
There is an urgent need for the routine use of a national obstetric early warning chart, similar to those in use in other areas of clinical practice, which can be used for all obstetric women which will help in the more timely recognition, treatment and referral of women who have, or are developing, a critical illness.
In the meantime all trusts should adopt one of the existing modified early obstetric warning scoring systems…
