AbstractPostpartum hemorrhage (PPH) persists as a leading cause of maternal death worldwide, and in the United States, most maternal deaths due to hemorrhage are deemed preventable. While essential preparations for hemorrhage include protocols and checklists, implementation science has revealed that it is not enough to merely introduce these tools into units. Simulation affords safe opportunities for practice and produces reliable behavior change, and it does not always need to be highly expensive and resource consuming. We review how simulation can be applied to address a unit's vulnerabilities in identifying, managing, and resolving PPH, as well as considerations for crafting a comprehensive simulation program for your unit.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
