The JEMS Report: Practical Insights for Out-of-Hospital Birth Challenges

In this episode of the JEMS Report Podcast, managing editor Jeff Frankel sits down with Dr. Liz Travis, a maternal care researcher, to discuss the growing challenges EMS providers face with out-of-hospital births. They unpack the critical gaps in traditional EMS training, particularly as maternal care deserts expand, leaving medics increasingly responsible for delivering babies in the field. Dr. Travis shares evidence-based strategies like the importance of delayed cord clamping (“wait for white”), skin-to-skin contact, and encouraging comfortable, non-supine birthing positions to improve outcomes for mother and infant. She advocates for updated, hands-on EMS training that reflects modern obstetric knowledge, including collaboration with midwives and doulas. Above all, Dr. Travis emphasizes that birth is usually natural, not an emergency, encouraging EMS providers to remain calm and focus on simple, effective practices. This episode offers essential insights for paramedics and EMS agencies preparing to meet the demands of maternal care in underserved areas.
