Conditions

shoulder dystocia. Obstructed labour due to shoulder dystocia

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: intervention is implemented in two phases. The first phase consists of theoretical training in the form of a 6-hour online session on the first day, covering the th
a delivery bed with lithotomy capability
leg supports
a maternal monitor (blood pressure monitor and thermometer)
a fetal heart rate monitor
a pulse oximeter
a documentation recording table
sufficient space around the bed to perform maneuvers
an audio system for playing fetal heart sounds
a microphone for announcing neonatal resuscitation code if needed (Code 88)
an obstetric manikin capable of creating anterior shoulder impaction, displaying the turtle sign, allowing position changes, and easy cleaning
a neonatal manikin with rotatable shoulders and a releasable posterior arm
an umbilical cord with clamping capability and a model placenta
simulated blood (diluted betadine solution [for brown-red coloration] or a mixture of water and red food coloring)
simulated amniotic fluid (normal saline with 1–2 drops of yellow or amber food coloring)
disposable bed covers
absorbent pads placed under the pelvis
gauze pads
gloves and aprons for participants
