Introduction
SimMom Overview
SimMom has been developed in partnership by Limbs & Things and
Laerdal, combining the best that both companies have to offer in
healthcare simulation products. By integrating the strengths of the
PROMPT Birthing Simulator and the ALS Simulator, SimMom provides
the user with both anatomical accuracy and authentic simulation
experiences that together, facilitate valuable learning experiences for a
wide range of midwifery and obstetric skills.
SimMom responds to clinical intervention, instructor control, and
pre-programmed scenarios, and allows for the observation of both
maternal and fetal vital signs. Instructors can articulate mother
and baby in multiple positions in order to simulate various types
of deliveries. Students can practice diagnosis and treatment of the
mother and fetus.
SimMom can be used to teach skills such as airway management, CPR,
heart and lung sound auscultation, and blood pressure auscultation.
SimMom can also simulate the following delivery scenarios:
– Normal delivery
– Breech presentation
– Assisted deliveries
– Forceps
