Background:

Shoulder dystocia is a critical obstetric emergency demanding immediate intervention.
Training healthcare providers in managing shoulder dystocia is challenging due to the high-pressure clinical environment.
Effective management is crucial for preventing adverse fetal and maternal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of simulation training in improving shoulder dystocia management.
To assess the impact of simulation on provider technical skills and teamwork.
To determine if simulation training reduces the incidence of fetal injury during shoulder dystocia.

Main Methods:

Utilizing high-fidelity simulation scenarios for shoulder dystocia.
Training healthcare providers across all experience levels.
Assessing performance during simulation drills and in clinical practice.

Main Results:

Simulation training consistently improves provider performance in managing shoulder dystocia.
Enhanced technical skills and teamwork were observed in trained providers.
Institutions with simulation programs reported significantly decreased risks of fetal injury.

Conclusions:

Simulation training is a vital tool for preparing providers to manage shoulder dystocia.
Implementing simulation training at all delivery service institutions is recommended.
Simulation offers a safe environment to practice and refine skills for obstetric emergencies.
