[Practical questions in case of maternal death]

Abstract

Every year, in France, about 70 women die during their pregnancy or the delivery. Any maternal death during labour is a traumatic event for the medical team and the family. The medical team has to face many "new" problems. We try to identify all the problems which the medical team has to face in front of a maternal death and try to solve them by a medical literature and French laws review. The medical team often feels powerless when a maternal death occurs. This work was made to be a guideline.
