Abstract
Medical simulation training as a modern medical education has been used for decades in developed countries. Simulation based team training for obstetric emergency provides opportunities to rehearse without risks to patients and helps overcome some limitations of the current medical education to improve the ability of medical staff to deal with obstetric emergencies, and improve adverse pregnancy outcomes. Simulation training is still at early stage in China. The Simulation Training Center of Beijing Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital was established in June 2013. There are 100 medical staffs from our hospital and 406 from other hospitals who are trained using simulations to respond to acute obstetrical emergencies, including postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal recovery, shoulder dystocia and amniotic fluid embolism. Through introduction—on-scene simulation training—task report, we focus on learning, practical operation, emergency team and multidisciplinary coordination and communication skills training and through training, help learners understand the medical simulation training mode, and improve personal and team's ability to deal with the obstetric emergency. There is no doubt that simulation training will be further developed in China. Further research is required to investigate the application significance and feasibility of simulation training and access effectiveness of it.
