EMSUK Step-by-Step Maternity Tool
One-question-at-a-time maternity decision aid for EMTs and paramedics. Answer each step and the next relevant question opens automatically.
Step 1: Is baby already delivered?
This is the first split. If yes, the tool moves straight into post-birth assessment.
Step 2: Is there any immediate maternal red flag?
Think heavy bleeding, seizure, collapse, severe headache, visual disturbance, or mother clearly very unwell.
Step 3: Is birth likely to be imminent?
Think urge to push, bearing down, crowning, visible presenting part, or cannot move safely.
Step 4: Is there a delivery complication?
Think cord seen or felt, breech, limb presenting, shoulder dystocia concern, or other clearly abnormal delivery issue.
