Official Title: Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) Evaluation of Theoretical Versus Hands-On Training of Shoulder Dystocia Management: a Randomized Trial

Brief Summary: This trial tests whether hands-on training is superior to expert demonstration regarding the management of shoulder dystocia (stuck shoulder) during delivery on a training model.

Detailed Summary: We prospectively randomize probands to a 30 min hands-on (group 1) and a 30 min demonstration (group 2) training session teaching a standardized SD algorithm scheme on a pelvic training model. Probands are tested with a 22 item Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) scoring system after training and 72 hours thereafter. OSATS scores are the primary outcome. Performance time (PT), self assessment (SA), confidence (CON), and global rating scale (GRS) are the secondary outcomes. Statistics will beperformed using Mann-Whitney U-test, chi-square test, and multivariable logistic regression analysis.

Current Primary Outcome: OSATS Score [ Time Frame: 30 minutes ]

Probands are tested with a 22 item Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) scoring system after training and 72 hours thereafter.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Performance Time [ Time Frame: 30 minutes ]
    Time probands need to perform all test tasks
  • Global Rating Scale [ Time Frame: 30 minutes ]
    Predefined score including confidence, speed, and manual capacity to perform test tasks


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
