Laerdal SimMom

Improving patient safety

Simulation has gathered increasing acceptance over the years as an integral part of healthcare training and as a fundamental approach to help improve patient safety. In the field of obstetrics, it has been identified from a broad range of research into suboptimal patient outcomes that common contributory factors include: confusion in roles and responsibilities; lack of cross monitoring; failure to prioritise and perform clinical tasks in a structured, coordinated manner; poor communication and lack of organisation support.

Preventing adverse outcomes during birth

Simulation training is unique in its ability to facilitate effective team training. By bringing together multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals in a simulation to rehearse both common birthing scenarios and emergency critical incidents; the early recognition of birth complications, correct diagnosis and rapid, coordinated action from the delivery team can be perfected for improved outcomes.

A complete solution

SimMom has been developed to provide a comprehensive simulation solution to support multi-disciplined staff in obstetric and midwifery care by enabling them to refine their individual skills and optimise their performance as a team. With a range of Technical and Educational Services as well as pre-programmed scenarios to ease educator preparation time, SimMom provides the optimal simulation experience

A progressive partnership

By integrating the strengths of the PROMPT birthing simulator from Limbs & Things with the ALS Simulator from Laerdal, 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
