2026 AAENP National Conference: EmergNP

Maternal sepsis is a rare but rapidly progressive emergency that requires early recognition and decisive intervention to improve outcomes for both mother and baby. Through an evidence-based review of physiologic changes in pregnancy, evolving sepsis guidelines, and real-world clinical scenarios, this session will strengthen your ability to identify subtle warning signs, initiate timely treatment, and navigate the unique challenges of caring for pregnant and postpartum patients. You'll leave with practical strategies to recognize maternal sepsis earlier, avoid diagnostic delays, and confidently manage this high-risk emergency in the emergency department.
