Optimizing Perimortem Cesarean Section Outcomes Using Simulation: A Technical Report.

Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is an educational technique that enables participants to experience an immersive representation of a clinical event for the purpose of practice, learning, and evaluation. This experience is intended to improve trainees' competency and confidence in both procedural tasks, as well as team-based and interpersonal skills when responding to real-world clinical encounters. Moreover, SBME improves procedural exposure and competency in low-frequency, high-stakes clinical procedures without the risk of adverse consequences, error, or patient harm - a priority for physician training at all levels.

The Use of Silicone Vaginal Repair Models as an Adjunct to Mannequins for Simulation Training in Sexual Assault Clinical Learning for Obstetrics and Gynecology Medical Residents.

Within urgent care scenarios in obstetrics and gynecology, there is little educational development surrounding sexual assault simulation scenarios, which reveals a need for increased rehearsal opportunities within medical education. Simulation-based medical education using mannequins, standardized patients, and anatomical silicone models have been suggested as a means to improve such parameters by providing realistic training for residents in the rehearsal of sexual assault scenarios and the application of forensic evidence kits. However, sexual assault training is often only provided to emergency medicine physicians and clinical staff and is not currently a mandatory component of obstetrics and gynecology residency programs across most national academic institutions.

Investigating the Efficacy of Anatomical Silicone Models Developed from a 3D Printed Mold for Perineal Repair Suturing Simulation.

There is a scarcity of affordable, validated, standardized and anatomically correct silicone perineum models for the rehearsal of postpartum laceration repair. The purpose of this technical report is to describe and validate evidence for a silicone, perineal repair model created from a 3D printed mold for medical resident training and clinical skills maintenance. A pre-existing model from an open-source royalty-free website was purchased and converted using Fusion360 (Autodesk Inc.

Three-Dimensional Printing of a Hemorrhagic Cervical Cancer Model for Postgraduate Gynecological Training.

Introduction: A realistic hemorrhagic cervical cancer model was three-dimensionally (3D) printed and used in a postgraduate medical simulation training session.

Materials And Methods: Computer-assisted design (CAD) software was the platform of choice to create and refine the cervical model. Once the prototype was finalized, another software allowed for the addition of a neoplastic mass, which included openings for bleeding from the neoplasm and cervical os.
