Description

Effective management of obstetric emergencies requires the coordinated efforts of a multidisciplinary team. Simulation training provides the opportunity to master both simple and complex technical skills essential during crises. The ASCOTT (Obstetrics Simulation Training Programme) is a comprehensive course designed to train individuals and teams through high-fidelity, realistic scenarios. These simulations cover major emergencies encountered in labor wards, theatres, and recovery settings, including maternal collapse, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, cord prolapse, and neonatal resuscitation.
