Obstetric Solution
SimMom® and MamaBirthie
Improve the quality of obstetric care
Train for decision-making in emergency settings and the ability to work under pressure in a safe environment. With immediate feedback, instructors can pinpoint areas of improvement, teach precise behaviors for real-life emergency procedures, and instill confidence over time.
An advanced, full-body simulator covering all stages of labor and birth
- Available in both manual and automatic delivery modes
- Covers all stages of labor - from antepartum to postpartum
- Provides opportunities for enhanced in-situ training with cross-functional teams to work collaboratively
- Train for the low-frequency, high-risk incidents
- Prepare learners to recognize and respond to potential high-risk births and postpartum complications such as PPH
- Controlled wirelessly with LLEAP, Laerdal’s simulation software
Make errors now, to avoid them in the future
No one likes to make mistakes, yet it’s an important part of training. With this obstetric solution, teams can train for decision-making in emergency settings and the ability to work under pressure in a safe environment.
With immediate feedback from either simulator or role-play, instructors can pinpoint areas of improvement, teach precise behaviors for real-life emergency procedures, and instill confidence over time.
When it comes to labor, it’s all about delivering respectful care
Hybrid simulation can improve patient outcomes and patient satisfaction, as it combines skills assessment in both clinical treatment and communication with a standardized patient.
MamaBirthie is ideal for practicing interaction and active listening in role-play settings. By using it for peer-to-peer training sessions, students build engagement for respectful care, effective communication, and risk management.
Keeping normal birth, normal
This obstetric solution enables training on both standard deliveries and life-threatening emergencies. By utilizing best-practice methodologies in simulation, students can prepare for low-frequency, high-risk emergencies.
Prepare learners to recognize and respond to events such as post-partum hemorrhage, uterine inversion, and maternal collapse.
That was great – now, let’s do it again!
Practice precise procedures with SimMom, and hands-on repeated maneuvers with MamaBirthie to enhance learners’ psychomotor skills and promote the best possible patient care.
Enable Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice to boost individual performance - repetition and debriefing are the keys to continuous improvement.
