Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is an emergency obstetric situation where severe bleeding occurs after childbirth. According to WHO, PPH is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. Approximately 14 million women worldwide suffer from PPH each year. Severe postpartum bleeding can lead to fatal outcomes for the new mother within hours if not diagnosed and treated. To improve PPH outcomes, it is vital for obstetric and medical professionals to be trained in timely diagnosis and management of postpartum hemorrhage.
If you are looking for a compact, easy-to-use, and durable PPH trainer, the PPH P97 PRO simulator from 3B Scientific is the ideal solution for conducting practical and realistic training for early recognition, systematic assessment, and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.
The PPH simulator focuses on the following three causes of postpartum hemorrhage:
- Uterine atony
- Tear and rupture (trauma)
- Retained placental tissue (tissue)
The P97 Pro PPH simulator was developed in collaboration with Dr. Martin Neuss from the Bethesda Clinic in Hamburg to train the following skills both individually and as a team:
Diagnosis of uterine atony during abdominal examination. Depending on your scenario settings, the P97 PRO can simulate various levels of uterine tone. Both an atonic uterus and a contracted uterus can be modeled and adjusted using a deflation bulb. An atonic uterus on the P97 PRO feels soft, boggy, and enlarged, while a contracted uterus becomes firmer and can retract to a real smaller size.
