Abstract
BackgroundAlthough most societies of obstetrics advocate vaginal delivery of twins, there has been a steady rise in the rate of twin cesarean sections. We risk perhaps losing in a single generation our obstetrical learning and skills because of medicolegal and emotionally charged issues. MethodsWe have therefore designed a realistic as possible simulation model of second twin delivery and tested it on residents in obstetrics. FindingsBetween two trials, we noted a significant improvement in the time required for internal podalic version and breech extraction. We also observed a significant improvement in the confidence score between the two trials. InterpretationWe have designed a simulation device that improves obstetrical skills for second twin delivery and which we hope will participate in the comeback of vaginal delivery for this indication and contribute to the fight against the dangerous trend of rising rates of cesarean delivery for twins. Our model completely fits the paradigm of simulation in medical pedagogy.
