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