This session will review clinical guidelines and contemporary risk assessment tools to evaluate for hemorrhage risk with dilation and evacuation. We plan to review strategies that address clinician and patient needs in freestanding clinics and hospital-based settings. We will also review current literature on tools to decrease bleeding during and after procedures. Read the Society's Clinical Recommendation on management of hemorrhage at the time of abortion, whose authors include Jennifer Kerns, MD, MS, MPH, a speaker in this course. 

This webinar was recorded on October 9, 2020.

Clinical recommendations, such as those described in this course, are grounded in the standard of care as determined by evidence-based research. They are distinct from legal requirements and restrictions governing abortion care, which are rarely grounded in evidence. The purpose of this course is to prepare clinicians to provide abortion care and medical recommendations do not vary based on practice location. However, abortion is not legal in all states and circumstances, and this course is not intended to aid in unlawful care. 
Physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, researchers, social workers, health educators and other healthcare professionals.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to: 

  1. List risk factors for hemorrhage with D&E procedures and who should have care at a referral center.
  2. Assess patients as low, medium or high-risk for hemorrhage prior to initiating cervical preparation for D&E.
  3. Select appropriate intraoperative measures to minimize and treat hemorrhage during D&E.
  4. Design an appropriate multi-specialty team for high-risk cases with the option to offer uterus-saving procedures or gravid hysterectomy, when indicated.
