Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Medical Education
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Shoulder dystocia is a critical obstetric emergency requiring prompt recognition and coordinated management.
  • Limited opportunities for hands-on practice due to infrequent occurrence and medico-legal concerns pose challenges for provider training.
  • Effective management involves specific maneuvers to resolve shoulder impaction and swift neonatal care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature supporting simulation-based training for shoulder dystocia.
  • To provide practical guidance for developing and implementing effective shoulder dystocia training programs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on shoulder dystocia management and training effectiveness.
  • Analysis of evidence supporting simulation as a training modality.
