Developed to improve patient safety during labor and delivery, the OB F.A.S.T. (Obstetrical Feasible Approach to Safety Training) simulation program is a proven, award-winning resource is designed for all members of the interdisciplinary obstetrics team to use together. Written by Dr. Giancarlo Mari, who developed the program and currently trains providers around the U.S. and the world, this volume helps teams strengthen their common knowledge of obstetric emergencies.

- Offers suggestions for how to run a simulation drill, as well as key points for debriefing and documentation.
- Includes essential background information to facilitate quick reference and skills checklists to evaluate team performance.
- Designed for every member of the obstetric team - from those who are new to the field to practitioners with years of experience.
