Prompt Flex Birthing Simulator - Advanced, Dark

Skills

• Training and practice in the following types of birth:
  • Normal
  • Vaginal breech birth
  • Shoulder dystocia with force feedback – force feedback is unique to this model and not available on the PROMPT Flex Standard
  • Vaginal assisted (forceps and vacuum devices)
  • Third stage of labour
  • Cord prolapse
  • Urinary catheter placement
  • IM injection Communication and teamwork skills

Features

• Anatomically correct, the birthing mother and baby are designed to allow for multiple true-to-life training scenarios
• In addition to the Standard PROMPT Flex’s functionality, the baby included with this model is equipped with Force Monitoring software
• During labour and delivery, force exerted on the baby can result in brachial plexus injury during shoulder dystocia
• The Force Monitoring Baby measures the force applied by trainees during drills
• Using the birthing simulator’s software, instructors can record actions taken, interventions made, and the length of time to deliver the baby, providing insights into students’ skills
• Meter Mode in the Force Monitoring software allows trainees valuable practice, giving familiarity with the feel of safe and excessive force before encountering a real obstetric emergency
• Software is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS and Andriod, and can be run on tablets as well as PCs
• User definable text in the software allows for intervention and birthing scenario names to be edited into the user’s native language
• The PROMPT Flex range offers multiple scenarios that can include patient simulation training
• PROMPT Flex’s modular design allows for multiple training scenarios that you can tailor to your specific course needs
• Additional modules include:
  • Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)
  • Enhanced C-Section
  • Cervical Dilatation & Effacement (CD&E)
  • Cervical Cerclage
  • Lower Legs
  • Compression Suture Uterus
• Baby model has improved shoulder and hip joints
• Bluetooth enabled baby allows for Force Monitoring with a scenario-based software (downloadable from the website)
• Drills run with the software can be recorded for later review
• Comes with wheeled carry case for safe storage and transportation
• The PROMPT Flex Range can offer a complete training solution for birth management
• Gynaecoid shape pelvis with soft, flexible birth canal, dilatable cervix and pelvic floor musculature provides realism in normal and complicated births
• Baby model represents a full term infant in weight and size, allowing for realistic handling
• Force Monitoring software allows trainees to accurately learn the safe amount of force that can be administered during delivery
  Birthing Mother:
  • Stand alone or hybrid use, 3 straps are supplied to secure PROMPT simulator for bench top or bed mounting
  • Articulated thighs help to demonstrate Gaskin and McRobert’s procedures
  • Handle on the base of the mannikin for operator use during labor simulation
  • Can be used with additional modules to extend training simulations
• Anatomy of the PROMPT Birthing Mother:
  • Birth canal and cervix
  • Ischial spines and pubic bone
  • Gynaecoid pelvis
  • Articulating Thighs, with injection pad
  • Abdomen
• Baby:
  • Improved articulation of the joints offers enhanced realism for difficult birthing scenarios, such as shoulder dystocia
• Anatomy of the PROMPT Baby:
  • Umbilical cord and placenta (detachable)
  • Clavicles
  • Suture lines and fontanelles

Objective: To compare the management of neonatal injury associated with shoulder dystocia before and after introduction of mandatory should dystocia simulation training.

Conclusion: The introduction of shoulder dystocia training for all maternity staff was associated with improved management and neonatal outcomes of births complicated by shoulder dystocia.
