[Simulation in obstetrics].
Obstetrical emergencies may represent extremely critical situations with potential dramatic maternal and neonatal consequences. These situations should be managed by an effective and experienced multidisciplinary staff. Simulation allows a regular and repeated practice of these situations with no risk to patient safety and the possibility to analyse participants' performances in a group. This review describes different obstetrical simulation methods and summarizes the evidence for its efficiency in obstetric practice.
