Postpartum Hemorrhage Module - PROMPT Flex (Dark Skin Tone)
The Postpartum Hemorrhage Module is part of a selection of optional modules to extend the use of the Advanced or Standard PROMPT Flex Birthing Simulator. It is designed to allow training in the management of post-partum bleeding and offers a realistic simulation of an atonic and contracting uterus. The module is quick and easy to set up ensuring that no teaching time is lost.
There are two manual hand pumps supplied. The first pump pushes air into the uterus to allow the user to massage the uterus and mimic uterus contractions. The second is connected to a pressurised blood flow system which allows the flow of blood loss to be controlled manually simulating a hemorrhage.
Postpartum Hemorrhage Module features:
Boggy uterus - Contracts when effective fundal massage is applied and provides haptic feedback to users of the success or failure of intervention.
Realistic Blood loss - Capable of demonstrating up to 2.5 litres of blood loss but is adjustable to the desired level of hemorrhaging.
Hemostatic Balloon insertion and management – Trainees are able to use a Bakri balloon which can be inserted and inflated to reduce/stop the hemorrhaging and allows a trainee to become familiar with clinical equipment
Bi-manual compression – The ability to physically contract the uterus by hand via internal compressions of the uterine wall.
Intramuscular Injections can be performed on this module
The blood used with this product now contains a new preservative which is approved for use by EU cosmetic regulations which means that, once diluted, it is safe for extended skin contact.
We still recommend the use of gloves, as the pigments may stain skin and clothes.
Overview
- Simulate and manage a postpartum hemorrhage during birth
- Offers the functionality to perform clinical procedures such as Bi-manual compressions
