Postpartum psychological distress after emergency team response during childbirth.

CONCLUSIONS: Methodology investigating the link between ETR and postpartum psychological distress is feasible and acceptable. A relationship between ETR and PTSD symptoms appears to exist, with ETR being associated with higher PTSD scores compared to non-ETR childbirths. Methods that incorporate awareness of the unique concerns of vulnerable populations are needed. PMID: 30204531 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
