Abstract
We thank Dr Peggy M. Vencken et al for sharing their success with a similar obstetric simulation program.1Vencken P.M. van Hooff M.H. van der Weiden R.M.

Improved performance of maternal-fetal medicine staff after maternal cardiac arrest simulation-based trainingAmerican Journal of Obstetrics & GynecologyVol. 206Issue 4PreviewFisher et al1 reported a significant benefit of a simulation-based training program in improving maternal-fetal-medicine staff performance, knowledge, and confidence in the management of maternal cardiac arrest. These findings are supported by a dramatic event in our obstetrics department in 2010. Full-Text PDF
