Standardized simulation training-assisting ob-stetric healthcare professionals in improving their skills
The development of obstetrical emergency and critical illness is rapid and difficult to deal with.Simulation training can simulate the real emergency and critical situation of obstetrical clinical work,and provide an ideal environment for trainees to learn clinical knowledge and practice operational skills without endangering patients'safety.The training has led to more standardized medical practices and im-proved competence and confidence,and it can develop an obstetric first aid team with rapid response.In China,various local obstetrical simulation training has been carried out,including shoulder dystocia,post-partum hemorrhage,umbilical cord prolapse,neonatal resuscitation and so on.Regular simulation training can help to maintain a high level of obstetrical practice ability,and it can also reduce the incidence of obstetric emergency-related complications and treatment costs.As simulation training is increasingly embedded in medical culture,it continues to play a key role in im-proving the professionnal skill of obstetricians and patient safety.
