Abstract
Maternal emergencies during pregnancy are characterized by a concomitant threat to 2 patients. These emergencies can occur during or even before a hospital stay. Due to the rarity of the latter cases, sustainable methods of knowledge transfer should be implemented so emergency teams have sufficient obstetrical information to provide emergency care during pregnancy. In a series of articles, launched here, individual competencies for prehospital emergency management of pregnant women are described. Part one addresses prehospital emergency care of pregnant women, their emergency transport, handover management on hospital admission, and a team approach to perinatal emergency care.
