This work presents the design a low cost obstetric simulator allowing precise identification of the fetal position in a simulated birth canal. The system consists on a female pelvis, a custom-made fetal mannequin, a virtual 3d representation, a visual display and an user interface to show in real time what happens inside the birth canal. Students are often unable not only to identify correctly the fetal head position, but also to discriminate between the two fontanels, for this reason the simulator eBSim can help them to train this ability and could be an important instrument for the instructors to objectively assess the clinical skill of each student.

Abstract

This work presents the design a low cost obstetric simulator allowing precise identification of the fetal position in a simulated birth canal. The system consists on a female pelvis, a custom-made fetal mannequin, a virtual 3d representation, a visual display and an user interface to show in real time what happens inside the birth canal. Students are often unable not only to identify correctly the fetal head position, but also to discriminate between the two fontanels, for this reason the simulator eBSim can help them to train this ability and could be an important instrument for the instructors to objectively assess the clinical skill of each student.
