Article Number

LT80202

Part of the PROMPT Flex range, the Cervical Dilatation & Effacement Module allows for training in the assessment and management of both the latent, and active, early stages of labor.

This model can be used to create a wide variety of birthing scenarios to identify:

Position/tilt of the cervix
Consistency of the cervix
Cervical effacement
Cervical dilation – early/latent phase, active phase and transition phase
Fetal station
Normal and abnormal foetal presentation
Moulding of the skull bones
Caput formation
Presence of membrane and amniotic fluid

This cervical dilation module can be purchased as an add-on to the Standard or Advanced PROMPT Flex simulators, and allows for the assessment of labor progression, likelihood of vaginal delivery, and suitability for induction.

Details

Overview

Trainees are able to practise the skills required to assess both normal and complicated births
Palpable ischial spines allowing for accurate assessment of station
Model accommodates a variety of training methods

Realism

Rupturable membrane, with fluid, on flexed or deflexed head
Dynamic Rig allows adjustment of dilation enabling scenario based, and communication skills, training
Realistic representation of cervices, including anterior lip

Versatility

Offers a large variety of presentations, including: stations, relative positions, and degrees of rotation
Easy removal and replacement of presenting parts and cervices when using the Static Rig
Presenting parts and cervix can be set up externally to the model for demonstration

Cleaning

Remove excess lubricant from the component surfaces
Clean components with a soft damp cloth, warm water and mild detergent
Allow to dry before storing trainer

Safety

This product is latex free
Using alternative lubricants to that recommended, may weaken or damage components of the cervical dilation model
Wear gloves while handling the simulator and during procedures, sharp surfaces (fingernails and jewellery) can lead to silicone damage
To prolong the life of caputs, keep covered in the supplied plastic tray when not in use

Simulated Patient

The PROMPT Flex range is suitable for use with a simulated patient

Anatomy

Cervices:

0cm dilation, unripe/firm, no effacement
1cm dilation, unripe, 40% effacement
2cm dilation, medium ripeness/firmness, 50% effacement
3cm dilation, ripe/soft, 65% effacement
4cm dilation, ripe/soft, 70% effacement
4cm dilation, ripe/soft, 100% effacement
Anterior lip, approximately 10cm dilation
Dynamic cervix for use with dynamic rig, allows for cervical dilation from 4cm to 10cm, ripe/soft, 100% effacement

Presenting parts:

Flexed head
Deflexed head
Face presentation
Brow presentation
Breech presentation

Moulding and caput formation:

Flexed or deflexed head
Parietal bones, one fixed and two moveable to simulate variation of moulding
3 sizes of caput

Skills Gained

Vaginal examination to assess:

Position of the cervix
Foetal presenting part
Moulding and caput formation
Presence/absence of membrane

Calculation of Bishop’s Score (also known as Pelvic Score):

5 measurements of the pelvic examination:

Centimetres dilated
Effacement
Foetal station
Consistency
Position

Other score modifiers:

Pre-eclampsia
Each previous vaginal delivery
Postdate pregnancy
Nulliparity
Premature preterm rupture of membranes
