A new obstetric forceps for the training of junior doctors: A comparison of the spatial dispersion of forceps blade trajectories between junior and senior obstetricians
Article Abstract:
A study to create a new instrument for the training of doctors in the use of forceps and to compare the trajectories of forceps blades between junior and senior obstetricians is presented. Training in the use of forceps for delivery is of key importance and the appropriate use of forceps facilitates the rapid delivery of fetuses in difficulty, however, the inappropriate use of forceps can lead to serious neonatal injuries and potential life-long disabilities.

Birth stimulator: Reliability of transvaginal assessment of fetal head station as defined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists classification
Article Abstract:
The reliability of transvaginal assessment of fetal head station with a newly designed birth simulator is investigated. The transvaginal assessment of fetal head station was found to be poorly reliable and therefore it was recommended to promote clinical training.
