Objective: 1. Evaluate whether a sensorised surgical glove can serve as an effective training tool in management of impacted fetal head; mental workload; and improvements needed 2. Examine location and amount of force applied through operators’ hands during simulated disimpaction Design: Feasibility study Setting: National course of rotational vaginal birth and complex caesarean birth Population: Obstetricians of varying levels Methods: Fetal head disimpaction using a model while wearing sensorised glove. Maximum and time-averaged force data were captured by 12 sensors, including amount and location of force. Main Outcome Measures: Mental workload of using the system was evaluated with NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) score and free-text answers. Results: 13 obstetricians of varying seniority participated. One was considered an expert, used as reference. Fingertip sensors: highest maximum force values, consistently across participants. Palmar sensors: relatively high peak forces, greater variability. Dorsal sensors: lower forces overall, high variability. Force during fetal disimpaction was applied in brief, targeted bursts (maximum) rather than continuously (time-averaged). Mental workload was high: NASA-TLX score 53.92 (weighted), 33.75 (unweighted). Desirable improvements identified included: making glove wireless, avoiding need to triple glove, and standardised model. Conclusions: A sensorised glove has been developed and found useful for training and management of impacted fetal head. There was consistent use of fingertips to deliver force, perhaps for precision and control. Variability in dorsal and palmar regions uncovered differences in hand positioning and technique.
