MIAMI, June 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — In 2013, 289,000 women and nearly two million babies died during childbirth, according to a report published by the United Nations Population Fund. Simulation training to manage childbirth complications can help to save lives, and from June 11-15, Gaumard® Scientific‘s realistic simulators for training nurses to handle those complications will be on display in Booth 1021 at the 2016 AWHONN annual meeting at the Gaylord Texan Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.

Attendees will be able to practice life-like scenarios, such as shoulder dystocia, placenta previa, nuchal cord, umbilical cord prolapse, breech delivery and postpartum hemorrhage on Victoria®, the most realistic, fully tetherless and wireless maternal/fetal simulator for use in actual point of care training. Obstetric Nurses can set up and operate real equipment, interpret critical information and follow protocols just as they would in real clinical situations using real TOCO, fetal heart rate, and NIBP monitors, plus real pulse oximetry, and EKG.
