Health Care Team Training and Simulation-Based Education in Obstetrics During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Health care team training and simulation-based education are important for preparing obstetrical services to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Priorities for training are identified in two key areas. ⋯ However, such training is more challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the requirements for social distancing. This article outlines strategies (spatial, temporal, video-recording, video-conferencing, and virtual) to effectively engage in health care team training and simulation-based education while maintaining social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ReviewCannabis Use During Lactation: Literature Review and Clinical Recommendations.
Cannabis is the most commonly used psychoactive substance in Canada. The prevalence of cannabis use both during pregnancy and in the postpartum period has been estimated at 5% of the population. Women who use the drug during lactation place their infants at risk of exposure to cannabis and its metabolites in breast milk. ⋯ Women should be advised to abstain from cannabis use during lactation or reduce consumption if abstinence is not possible. Furthermore, women should be advised to avoid breastfeeding within 1 hour of inhaled use to reduce exposure to highest concentration of cannabis in breast milk. Despite some evidence regarding health risks of post-natal exposure to cannabis, further research is needed to determine its impact on infant neurodevelopmental outcomes beyond the first year of life.

Practice GuidelineNo. 367-2019 Canadian Guideline for Physical Activity throughout Pregnancy.
The objective is to provide guidance for pregnant women, and obstetric care and exercise professionals, on prenatal physical activity. ⋯ The quality of the evidence refers to the level of confidence in the evidence and ranges from very low to high. High quality: The Guideline Consensus Panel is very confident that the estimated effect of physical activity on the health outcome is close to the true effect. Moderate quality: The Guideline Consensus Panel is moderately confident in the estimated effect of physical activity on the health outcome; the estimate of the effect is likely to be close to the true effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different. Low quality: The Guideline Consensus Panel's confidence in the estimated effect of physical activity on the health outcome is limited; the estimate of the effect may be substantially different from the true effect. Very low quality: The Guideline Consensus Panel has very little confidence in the estimated effect of physical activity on the health outcome; the estimate of the effect is likely to be substantially different from the true effect. aThis was a weak recommendation because the quality of evidence was low, and the net benefit between women who were physically active and those who were not was small. bThis was a strong recommendation because, despite low quality evidence supporting physical activity during pregnancy for women categorized as overweight or obese, there was evidence from randomized controlled trials demonstrating an improvement in gestational weight gain and blood glucose. cModerate-intensity physical activity is intense enough to noticeably increase heart rate; a person can talk but not sing during activities of this intensity. Examples of moderate-intensity physical activity include brisk walking, water aerobics, stationary cycling (moderate effort), resistance training, carrying moderate loads, and household chores (e.g., gardening, washing windows). dThis was a weak recommendation because urinary incontinence was was not rated as a "critical" outcome and the evidence was low quality. eThis was a weak recommendation because: (1) the quality of evidence was very low; and (2) although harms were investigated there was limited available information to inform the balance of benefits and harms. This recommendation was primarily based on expert opinion.
