Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: assembling a simulation system having a simulator, a processor, and at least one display, said simulator comprising a birthing mannequin with a fetus and an eclampsia simulation component in a cavity of the birthing mannequin, the eclampsia simulation component comprising: a motor, a drive shaft connected to the motor, a cam connected to the drive shaft, wherein the cam engages and agitates an aperture within the cavity, and wherein a center of the cam is offset with respect to a center of the aperture; providing said simulation system along with documentation to a plurality of medical facilities; and providing training on use of said simulator, different simulations, and criteria for grading performance on said simulations, said training including team training for conducting said simulations using said simulation system, and said simulations including an eclampsia simulation comprising: instructing a medical staff that a patient has had a headache and is getting worse, wherein the patient is the birthing mannequin, instructing the medical staff that the patient's blood pressure is increasing; initiating a simulated eclamptic seizure by activating the motor of the simulator to rotate the drive shaft and the cam, observing whether said medical staff performs assessment and intervention of said simulated eclamptic seizure, wherein said intervention includes at least one of administrating medications and rolling of said patient, and continuing said simulated eclamptic seizure.
