Shoulder Dystocia and Neonatal Resuscitation: An Integrated Obstetrics and Neonatology Simulation Case for Medical Students.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The new model in medical education of longitudinal clinical clerkships can be complemented by high-technology simulation, which provides a safe space for learners to consolidate clinical knowledge and practice decision-making skills, teamwork, and communication. We developed an interdisciplinary training intervention including a simulation case and structured debriefing to link clinical content between pediatrics and obstetrics at a major academic medical center.

Methods

In this case, a 38-year-old female at 38 weeks gestation presents with onset of labor complicated by shoulder dystocia. After the appropriate maneuvers, a depressed neonate is delivered and requires resuscitation. Major equipment needed includes a high- or low-technology birthing mannequin and a
