Simulation training is an appealing and useful addition to health facilities. Simulation centers are organized to maximize network resources. Simulation training is used for certification or recertification of health professionals and is now an integral part of the methods used in continuing professional development. Simulation has played a unique role in obstetrics. This article is a narrative review describing the different types of childbirth simulators, whether anatomical, virtual, or instrumented. The article identifies the role of each simulator in the training of obstetricians and the role of these instruments in simulation centers.

Perineal deformation during forceps, vacuum and OdonAssist™ assisted vaginal deliveries: A simulation study based on advanced image processing.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jean Minjoz Hospital, Besançon University Medical Center - Alexander Fleming Boulevard, 25000 Besançon, France; University of Franche-Comte-SINERGIE Laboratory, 25000 Besancon, France. Electronic address:
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse influence of the fetal head position and the type of instrument used (forceps, vacuum, OdonAssist™) on perineal deformation, during simulated vaginal deliveries monitored by stereophotogrammetry.
Methods: An exploratory study was conducted using mannequins simulating vaginal births. Fifty simulated deliveries were performed with different fetal head positions and instruments: Pajot's forceps, Kiwi-vacuum, and OdonAssist™.
Evaluating the effect of a virtual reality digital therapeutic on maternal stress among expectant and postpartum Black and Latina mothers: a protocol paper.

Department of Informatics and Health Data Science, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, United States.
Background: Maternal mental health is vital to overall well-being, particularly among expectant and postpartum Black and Latina women who experience higher stress levels and mental health challenges. Traditional healthcare systems often fail to meet these needs, underscoring the need for innovative and accessible interventions. NurtureVR, a digital maternal mental health and educational program, leverages virtual reality to offer mindfulness, relaxation, and guided imagery to support these women.

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Institute of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.
Background: The postnatal period is a critical period for both mothers and their newborns for their health. Lack of early postnatal care (PNC) services during a 2-day period is a life-threatening situation for both the mother and the babies. However, no data have been examined for PNCs in East Africa.

Adv Clin Exp Med
December 2024
Department of Obstetrics, Changsha Hospital for Maternal and Child Health Care Affiliated to Hunan Normal University, Changsha, China.
Background: Overweight and obesity are the most common high-risk conditions that increase the risk of adverse outcomes during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Dysfunctions in trophoblastic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) contribute to a variety of related pregnancy disorders.
Objectives: This study investigated whether PPARγ influences chorionic trophoblast cell damage induced by high glucose (HG) and high lipid (HL) by regulating insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
A Randomized Trial Assessing the Effectiveness of High-fidelity Simulation Training in Managing Maternal Cardiac Arrest among Emergency Medical Professionals in India.
