Precipitous deliveries last less than 3 hours from contractions to birth. 

Each year, hundreds of precipitous deliveries occur in emergency rooms, hallways of clinics, homes and cars. Is your clinic prepared?

In March 2016, Orange County Health Department took important steps towards preparing their staff for precipitous delivery. Staff partnered with UNC to use state-of-the-art simulation technology to develop their skills with practice on UNC’s pregnant simulator ELSA. Simulation enables providers and support staff to learn through experience in a supportive environment. Simulation training has many advantages: active learning, trouble-shooting, team building, emergency planning, communication fostering.

If your clinic is interested in partnering with UNC for obstetric simulation training, please contact Denise Shaver.
