Dilation simulator in obstetric vaginal examination
The diagnosis of labor is made based on the assessment of uterine dynamics and also on the examination of the obstetric vaginal touch examination, which is used to identify effacement, consistency and cervical dilation, the presence or absence of the amniotic sac, feeling its integrity or rupture, the height of the presentation, the variety of the position and the determination of the attitude from the maternal bony pelvis.
From this with all this information, the obstetric examination allows you to monitor the labor. Thus, it is important to train and perceive these characteristics and stages of the process, and the use of simulators for this preparation can be very useful.
The proposed models aim to help students and those interested in building this knowledge and practice.
