A new obstetric forceps for the training of junior doctors: A comparison of the spatial dispersion of forceps blade trajectories between junior and senior obstetricians

Design of a New Instrumented Forceps: Application to Safe Obstetrical Forceps Blade Placement

“…The analysis was realized only for sta -TABLE III RESULTS OF THE ERROR ALONG THE THREE AXES FOR EXPERTS AND NOVICES COMPARED TO THE REFERENCE PATH. tion and location LOA+5. With this study, we confirmed our previous results [35] for station and location OA+5 (Occipitoanterior location at ). For both presentations, novices do not have the same ability to place forceps to a sufficient degree of repeatability, meaning they need additional training before performing real instrumental deliveries.…”

“…This difference increases with the difficulty in FBP. A previous study [35] showed the results for OA+5, while our present study revealed results for a more complex gesture (LOA+5). To some extent, the more complex the placement path, the more errors novices make.…”

“…Compared to the study of gestures for station and location OA+5 [35], the station and location, LOA+5, results in a more difficult gesture. Indeed, in the first case, experts achieved excellent, very good, or good results in 100%, 87.5% and 87.5% of cases for departure, return, and arrival, respectively.…”

Simulación en educación médica: una sinopsis

“…Por último, en obstetricia también han sido numerosos los aportes de la simulación en la realización de amniocentesis bajo ultrasonografía, el manejo de la distocia de hombro y de emergencias obstétricas y trauma [65][66][67][68][69][70] . Interesante mención merece un estudio publicado por Draycott, que muestra una reducción de injuria neonatal de 9,3% a 2,3%, posterior al entrenamiento con un simulador de distocia de hombro 70 .…”

Practical simulation training for maternity care—where we are and where next

“…25 Dupuis et al 26 developed a high-fidelity model that allows the trajectory of the application of forceps blades to be tracked using spatial sensors. Senior obstetricians demonstrated a superior technique but, after training, the abilities of junior staff improved.…”
