Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Course overview

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition affecting thousands of pregnant women each year. More severe than morning sickness, HG can affect every aspect of a woman’s life. With early recognition and treatment, however, this condition can be effectively managed. The outcome of this course is for the learner to describe HG, including its maternal and fetal effects, associated risk factors, and diagnostic and treatment options.
