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

Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of treatable maternal morbidity and mortality in the US. 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: decrease PPH rates; and improve objective measures of hemorrhage management, perceptions of teamwork, team performance indicators, and overall patient satisfaction. Methods: This was a prospective cross-over cohort study of CONUSUSN MTFs currently providing perinatal care. Baseline 6-month clinical data of all measures (clinical, team performance, and patient satisfaction) was collected using medical records and validated questionnaires.
