Abstract
The objective of this single-centre, action research study was to increase resident experience performing operative vaginal deliveries. The secondary objective was to assess the incidence of maternal and neonatal complications. The rate of forceps deliveries increased in the post-training period (1.8%-4.0%; P < 0.001) but the overall rate of operative vaginal delivery did not change. The composite maternal complications rate following forceps delivery was lower in the post- training period (P = 0.006). There were no significant differences in maternal or neonatal complications with vacuum delivery between the periods before and after the initiative. Experiential training of residents may be a viable alternative to simulation training as it does not require expensive state-of-the-art simulation technology.
