Obstetric Decision-Making and Simulation cover

A practical guide to decision-making and establishing simulation training within a multidisciplinary obstetric team.

A practical guide to establishing simulation training within a multidisciplinary obstetric team. Featuring an extensive obstetric scenario library and a concise discussion following each scenario, facilitators will feel inspired and confident to run these diverse simulation drills.Simulation is becoming an integral part of medical education and has already a well-established role within anaesthesia training, with many examination questions already modelled on simulation scenarios. The clinical diversity and multidisciplinary nature of an obstetric team creates the ideal environment for simulation training. It enables the team to develop their knowledge of clinical emergencies whilst becoming more aware of the importance of human factors. This book is a practical guide to inspire clinical leads to establish simulation within their delivery suite. The book comprises an extensive obstetric scenario library, with each scenario broken down into learning outcomes, a list of staff and equipment needed, specific stages mapped to learning outcomes with appropriate results/investigations and a checklist of ideal actions to enable the post-scenario debrief. Written by consultant obstetric anaesthetists, this book will appeal to medical practitioners interested in facilitating obstetric simulation.
