Obstetric Simulation Training and Teamwork (OB-STaT) To Reduce Postpartum Hemorrhage

Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)complicating 4-6% of all deliveriesremains a leading cause of treatable maternal morbidity and mortality in the US. PPH safety bundles may provide an opportunity to improve clinical skills and have been associated with improved patient outcomes. Additionally, military obstetric team members are expected to deploy and provide combat casualty care further necessitating the need for effective teamwork. This study aims to determine the impact of the Obstetric Simulation Training and Teamwork (OB-STaT) curriculum on PPH rates and associated clinical markers in continental United States (CONUS) U.S. Navy (USN) military treatment facilities (MTFs). The investigators hypothesize that OB-STaT will: (1) decrease PPH rates; and improve: (2) objective measures of hemorrhage management, (3) perceptions of teamwork, (4) team performance indicators and latent threat detection, and (5) overall patient satisfaction.
