Simulating birth scenarios requires a versatile solution to train learners for normal and complex cases. And, because of the potential risk to two patients – the mother and the newborn -  it is critical to incorporate communication skills practice, too.

MamaNatalie is a birthing simulator that can be worn by a standardized patient to facilitate role play between a «mother» and healthcare provider. The simulation can be made as realistic as desired, with the use of bleeding, delivery of the placenta, cathetherization, and other features. It is particularly beneficial when training for post-partum hemorrhage control and other complications.

Although a full-bodied birthing simulator may allow for additional technical practice of maneuvers, the use of a standardized patient with MamaNatalie can provide learners with the essential diagnosis, assessment, and interpersonal skills to attend a birth. These skills might be your desired outcome, or may help your learners to develop the necessary competency to advance to the full-bodied simulator with ease.

Nursing education covers a wide span of clinical topics and skills, but you may not always have the funding or storage space for as many simulation solutions. If this is the case, it can be worth your while to consider a solution that can address a multitude of different patient cases – all with one simulator.

Nursing Anne Simulator is high-fidelity with a twist. It is designed to be modular so that you modify the level fidelity to meet your need. An assortment of accessories and interchangeable parts allow you to change the way you use this simulator every time. With different skin tones, a geriatric module, a male genitalia kit, and other accessory sets, you can address all core aspects of nursing curricula ranging from basic to advanced practice.

If you are in the position to purchase only one simulator, this solution can help you maximize your investment and make the most of your organization’s purchase.
