Objective To evaluate factors contributing to obstetric emergencies, analyze the fetomaternal outcome and role of obstetric drill in facing these emergencies effectively. Material and Method Out of 10,892 deliveries, a total of 520 women were included in this prospective study. Analysis of emergency obstetric conditions was done by evaluating incidence, various contributing factors, and fetomaternal outcome. Obstetric drill was conducted among residents repetitively. Pre drill and post drill assessment of confidence in clinical, knowledge, and team work skills were compared by v 2 test. Impact of drill on severe obstetric morbidities was noted. Observations Incidence of obstetric emergencies was found to be 4.88 %. Maternal and perinatal mortality was seen in 4.23 and 37.11 %, respectively, of these emergency obstetric women. Impact of drill showed an increase in score in knowledge (p \ 0.019), confidence (p, 0.001), and team work (p \ 0.001). Conclusion Active implementation of emergency obstetric care and incorporation of obstetric drill lays a strong foundation for safe fetomaternal outcome.
