Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The Danish National Board of Health has recommended that labor wards establish regular obstetric emergency skills training programmes. The aim of this study was to describe current practice in Denmark. A questionnaire was sent to all obstetric departments in Denmark in 2008. All responded. Simulation based training was conducted in 26/28 obstetrical departments. Settings for the training programmes were mainly local. Training was provided for shoulder dystocia, post partum bleeding and basic neonatal resuscitation in almost all the departments, but was not organised in a uniform way. Neither the programme itself nor the participants' performance were evaluated in a structured or validated way. Obstetric emergency skills training is being actively conducted in the majority of the Danish labor wards. However, it still remains a challenge to ensure the uniform organisation and evaluation of the current training programmes. Development of validated national or international standards for an obstetric training programme should be a future aim.
