Technical Skills Training Programme for Conducting Vacuum Assisted Deliveries

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Training VAD

• Registration Number: NCT03111498
• Lead Sponsor: Heinrich Husslein

Brief Summary

Training is very important for acquisition and maintenance of obstetric skills. As a one-to-one practical teaching needs time and personal resources, the investigators want to prove the benefit and necessity of the one-to-one training program compared to a theory-based training program in conducting vacuum assisted deliveries (VAD).

The aim of this study is to prove that a practice-based training program (one-to- one teaching) leads to better training results compared to a theory-based training program in conducting VAD.
