SimMom is an advanced full body interactive birthing simulator. By combining the Limbs & Thing’s PROMPT Birthing Simulator and Laerdal’s ALS Simulator, SimMom offers the functionality required to train in a wide range of midwifery & obstetric skills. SimMom's anatomy and functionality allows for multiprofessional obstetric training of labour and delivery management.

A complete simulation solution
Providing full scale interactive, dynamic and engaging simulation, SimMom is a complete solution that also includes accessories, technical services, educational services and courseware. Pre-programmed scenarios will provide standardised training while customisable scenarios and real time instructor controls allow for scenario adaptation to accommodate individual student or team needs.

Interactive, dynamic and engaging
Design elements such as video, audio, scenarios and recognisable environments, enable learning to be transferred to the bedside when caring for mother and child in complex birthing scenarios.

Easy to use
Simple operation allows users to build basic to advanced level scenarios appropriate for required learning objectives. The familiar VitalSim Platform, manual delivery system and computer control make the simulator simple to use.

Realism
SimMom provides realistic practice of multiple delivery positions and manoeuvres, teamwork, leadership and communication skills in a riskfree environment. Uterus modules add further realism and extend the application of the simulator.

Multipurpose
SimMom can be used as a hybrid trainer or as a full body simulator. In addition, it can be used for non obstetric training as well as a female pregnant simulator.

Partnership
SimMom has been developed by Limbs & Things and Laerdal in partnership combining the best that each company has to offer in healthcare simulation products. Built upon the success of the two leading products in the market, the Prompt Birthing Simulator and the ALS Simulator, SimMom provides customers with the best of two worlds. The level of realism both in terms of anatomy and obstetric experience provided by Limbs & Things, and the easy to use full body simulation system provided by Laerdal, presents a total solution for simulation training in an obstetric environment. SimMom can be used as a hybrid trainer or as a full body simulator. In addition, it can be used for non obstetric training as well as a female pregnant simulator.

Birthing Baby

Realistically modelled head with all head landmarks present
(fontanelles and sutures)

Head designed and tested so it can be used for forceps deliveries
(rotational and “normal”), and suction delivery (kiwi and ventouse)

Head can be easily manipulated by “puppeteer” and flexes naturally as
it is pushed through the birth canal

Mouth for suction and Smellie-Veit (if required)

Body “streamlined” to allow it to be easily pushed through birth canal

Bony prominences of the hips to support Lovsett`s manoeuvres

Realistically postioned landmarks - scapulae and clavicles

Arms and legs fully moveable to allow all manoeuvres required during
deliveries - particularly breech and shoulder dystocia

Umbilicus and placenta (Normal and retained)

Foetal heartrate; normal, bradycardia and tachycardia (via software)

Solutions for Hospitals

Realistic positions and manoeuvres

Pelvic Module can easely be changed by unscrewing and removing the pelvic ring clamp. Urethral tube allows bladder to be catheterised or instilled for cord prolapse The birthing baby engaged into simple delivery cervix module

Instrumental delivery using Kiwi/Ventouse suction cup or forceps. The trainer is able to feel the force, manoeuvres and techniques that are used by the deliverer, and can give constructive feedback in the debriefing

When shoulder dystocia is diagnosed, the puppeteer can simulate “turtle neck” sign, press the shoulder up against the mother’s pelvis to add realism and complexity to the scenario

Airway features: Managing difficult airway during complex delivery Obstructed airway Tongue oedema Right lung, left lung and both lung blockage Head tilt/Chin lift Jaw thrust Suctioning techniques can be practiced Bag-Valve-Mask ventilation Combitube, LMA and other airway placement Endotracheal intubation (ET) Retrograde intubation Digital intubation Surgical cricothyrotomy and needle cricothyrotomy Sellick maneuver Airway resistance and compliance	Breathing features Simulated spontaneous breathing Variable respiratory rates Bilateral and unilateral chest rise and fall Normal and abnormal breath sounds; 4 anterior auscultation sites; bilateral midaxillary site Can be connected to ventilators Vascular access Preported IV access (both arms) Subcutaneous and intramuscular injection sites (thigh)
Cardiac features Extensive ECG library Heart sounds synchronised with ECG ECG rhythm monitoring 12 lead ECG display Defibrillation and cardioversion Pacing	Circulation features BP measured manually by auscultation of Korotkoff sounds Bilateral carotid and brachial pulse, radial (right side only) pulses synchronized with ECG Pulse strength variable with BP Pulse palpation is detected and logged
Chest compressions CPR compressions generate palpable pulses, blood pressure wave form, and ECG artifacts Detection and logging of a series of compression	Other features: Bowel sounds or foetal heart rate –microphone) Patient voice: Pre recorded sounds Custom sounds Instructor can simulate patient’s voice wirelessly
