Brief Summary

This prospective interventional study aims to evaluate the effect of simulation-based postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) training on team performance and crisis resource management skills among senior anesthesiology residents. Participants will undergo a structured high-fidelity simulation training program focused on postpartum hemorrhage management. Performance will be assessed before and after the intervention using validated assessment tools, including crisis resource management scoring systems. The study seeks to determine whether simulation-based training improves clinical decision-making, team communication, and overall performance in obstetric emergencies.

Conditions

Postpartum Hemorrhage; Simulation Based Medical Education

Keywords

Postpartum Hemorrhage; Simulation Based Medical Education; Anesthesiology Education; Crisis Resource Management; Team Performance; Obstetric Emergencies; Resident Training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Crisis Resource Management (CRM) Score

  Team performance will be assessed using a validated Crisis Resource Management (CRM) scoring system based on a 5-point Likert scale (1-5). Each item is scored from 1 (poor performance) to 5 (excellent performance), with higher scores indicating better team performance. Scores will be recorded before and immediately after the simulation-based training, and the change in total CRM score will be analyzed.

  Baseline and immediately after simulation training
