Abstract

Background: Although sudden unexpected post-natal collapse (SUPC) occurs infrequently on the post-partum unit, it can be fatal to the newborn infant.

Method: A needs assessment found that postpartum nurses had low confidence in their ability to recognize SUPC and act quickly to prevent infant morbidity and mortality. A skilled RN working on a postpartum unit created and implemented educational sessions to help postpartum nurses become better equipped to rescue a newborn on the postpartum unit who has SUPC.

Results: After the educational intervention in this quality improvement project, RNs had greater confidence in their ability to recognize and react to SUPC. The authors suggest developing similar programs for postpartum units in multiple settings.

Conclusion: Continuing education for RNs on how to recognize and rescue infants experiencing SUPC is essential for ensuring patient safety. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(4):146-151.].

提高产后护士认识和应对新生儿突发性意外产后崩溃的信心。

背景：虽然产后猝死（SUPC）发生罕见的产后单位，它可以是致命的新生儿。方法：一项需求评估发现，产后护士对自己识别SUPC并迅速采取行动预防婴儿发病率和死亡率的能力缺乏信心。一位在产后病房工作的熟练注册护士创建并实施了教育课程，以帮助产后护士更好地抢救产后病房中患有SUPC的新生儿。结果：经过质量改善项目的教育干预，注册护士对SUPC的识别和反应能力有了更大的信心。作者建议在多种情况下为产后单位制定类似的计划。结论：继续教育注册护士如何识别和抢救发生SUPC的婴儿，对确保患者安全至关重要。[J].中华实用医学杂志，2015;35(4):391 - 391。
