title: Developing an arrhythmia course for obstetric nurses.
abstract: The need has increased for high-risk obstetric nurses to interpret cardiac rhythms, owing to the potential cardiovascular side-effects of tocolytic therapy in premature labor. The cardiovascular critical care nurse, educator, and clinical specialist are important to obstetric nurses as consultants for arrhythmia interpretation. These authors describe how to plan, develop, and implement an arrhythmia course for staff nurses working in obstetric units.
