Unplanned out-of-hospital birth apparatus benefits: A paramedic simulation trial

Abstract

Unplanned births outside of hospitals have becoming an issue in cities. The majority of healthcare professionals are paramedics. When performed alone, this event frequently causes them strain and anxiety. Their primary worries were the safety of mothers and newborns, as well as insufficient obstetrical equipment. As a result, our team developed a portable birth bed equipped with newborn safety devices for this research. One hundred fourteen paramedics of local area participated in this study and were divided into intervention and conventional group. In simulation trials, the study found that this safety intervention outperformed the conventional setup. We determined that our technology aided in the delivery of unusual babies. However, it requires additional research in the actual situation.
