Debriefing Consult for Psychiatric Symptoms After Severe Maternal Morbidity (NCT07684521)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The primary objective of this study is to determine if a maternal fetal medicine (MFM) debriefing consult six to eight weeks postpartum reduces self-reported post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms following a delivery complicated by severe maternal morbidity (SMM). Individuals with a delivery complicated an intensive care unit (ICU) admission and/or blood product transfusion \>4 units will be included in this study. Participants will be randomized to an intervention or control group; all participants will complete patient questionnaires that screen for post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Those in the control group will receive a virtual MFM debriefing consult at six weeks postpartum and those in the intervention group will have the option for a consult at twelve weeks postpartum, after the completion of the questionnaires.
