L&D Drill
Labor & delivery emergencies, one decision at a time. Seven cases drawn from thirty — different every run.
A scenario lands. The clock runs. You pick the single best next step — and every case has its own six options, tailored to the emergency in front of you. Abruption, previa at 27 weeks, cord prolapse, shoulder dystocia, uterine rupture, eclampsia, and more.
What you might draw
Seconds per case
Scoring: faster correct answers score higher. A streak of correct calls builds a multiplier up to 3×; a wrong call or timeout breaks it. Some near-misses earn partial credit. After each answer you read the rationale, then click the green button to continue. On desktop, press 1–6.
Evidence base
- Committee on Practice Bulletins–Obstetrics. Practice Bulletin No. 183: Postpartum Hemorrhage. Obstet Gynecol. 2017;130(4):e168–e186. Atony, uterotonics, tamponade, inversion, retained placenta, hemorrhage protocol.
- Gestational Hypertension and Preeclampsia: ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 222. Obstet Gynecol. 2020;135(6):e237–e260. Severe-range BP, eclampsia, magnesium sulfate seizure prophylaxis and treatment.
- Operative Vaginal Birth: ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 219. Obstet Gynecol. 2020;135(4):e149–e159. Prerequisites and indications for assisted vaginal birth.
- American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Practice Bulletin No. 106: Intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring. Obstet Gynecol. 2009;114(1):192–202. FHR categories, prolonged deceleration, intrauterine resuscitation.
- Additional management reflects established, broadly endorsed obstetric standards of care (e.g. ACOG/SMFM consensus, ALSO/HELPERR sequence for shoulder dystocia, RCOG guidance on cord prolapse). Where a single canonical document does not govern, the action shown is the consensus standard rather than a specific numbered bulletin.
Cases worth a second look
Training simulation. Clinical decision support — does not replace bedside judgment or unit protocol. Scenarios are simplified for teaching.
