Sumario: | Background: Simulation training improves the response to obstetric emergencies. Methods: We review the current literature regarding simulation training for provider education, team training, and obstetric outcomes and describe the implementation of a multidisciplinary obstetric simulation program. Results: A review of literature available at PubMed reveals many studies focused on provider education but few studies detailing the direct impact on patients. We review simulation reports that demonstrate improved clinical outcomes after obstetric emergencies—such as shoulder dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage, delivery of the second twin, operative vaginal delivery, urgent cesarean delivery, and neonatal resuscitation—as these studies formed the basis of the Ochsner Obstetrics and Gynecology Simulation Program in New Orleans, LA. We discuss the 3 principal simulation formats at Ochsner: a half-day course at the simulation training center, in-situ simulation on clinical care floors, and just-in-time training in the classroom. We also present detailed examples of simulation scenarios to assist others in creating a robust simulation program to ensure staff and providers are well trained to respond to obstetric emergencies. Conclusion: The Ochsner Obstetrics and Gynecology Simulation Program was formulated on published literature and incorporates a variety of clinical settings, scenarios, and approaches to improve educational opportunities and response to obstetric emergencies. |
