Emergencies, Unspecified Obstetrical Trauma, With Delivery
Conditions
Brief summary
The TeamOBS study is an observational study. We analyze actually recordings of obstetric emergencies to get an even better understanding and knowledge of the association between the communication and cooperation and the quality of the performance of the interdisciplinary team.
Detailed description
Background: In obstetric emergency situations (OES) inadequate non-technical skills (NTS) are the leading causes of substandard care. Aim: Based on live audio and video (AV)-recordings of real (OES) the aim is to describes how the NTS and the clinical performance are related. Method: 1. Inclusion of the teams. OES teams from the delivery ward at two Danish hospitals, Aarhus University Hospital and Horsens Regional Hospital are AV-recorded are collected and saved for analyzing with consent from all participant. 2. Develop a scoring tool to rate clinical performance in OES. 12 Ekspert Senior Obstetricians from different maternity units in Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland volunteered to join the Delphi panel and develop a clinical performance tool. 3. Rate clinical performance. Using the developed tool in 2) to rate live teams 4. Rate NTS Recording of teams will be rated by the validated list: Assessment of Obstetric Team Performance with the validated tool from Pamela Morgan: AOTP. Furthermore important observations will be code. Video assessments is planned for 2016-2018 5. Explore the association between clinical performance and NTS in OES. Results from 3) and 4) will be compared. Discussion: We expect that this study will add to the knowledge of NTS and the effect on clinical performance in OES.
