Room 112 is designed to replicate real birthing and pediatric care environments. Faculty can run scenarios comfortably for groups of 5-6 students per session. Scenarios record all patient monitor data, video and audio of the action inside the room, as well as a log sheet of the events that transpired throughout the scenario. All of this data can be brought up and displayed either in room 112 or in the debrief room which is located in room 119. All sessions are held in the strictest of confidence and any student being videotaped is required to sign a waiver.

This room is reserved in advance with all equipment and supplies needed to run the scenario requested at the time of reservation. The lab director and technician set up all elements of the scenario prior to the scheduled time to ensure all faculty effort is directed toward running the scenario.

Faculty also have the ability to design a scenario specific to what they want to achieve through their course objectives. Faculty members interested in building their own scenarios should contact the lab director or technician for assistance.

Noelle and Hal can do the following:

Normal Vaginal and Instrumented Delivery

  • Fetus descends and rotates internally as it moves down birth canal.
  • Extensible cervix dilates.
  • Fetal external rotation aligns shoulders with vulva.
  • New fetal head skin for use with most vacuum devices and forceps.
  • Both programmable hemorrhage using simulated blood and catherization with flow of simulated urine. 
  • Breathing and pulses.

Shoulder dystocia

  • Use delivery Profile Control to specify exactly when the turtle sign will occur and how long you allow students to deal with this dilemma.
  • Relieve dystocia using suprapubic pressure, McRobert's maneuver or posterior arm sweep
  • Intrapartum Modelling or Trending
  • Use our physiologic model that controls skin color and vital signs
  • Trend color and vital signs as you wish


Breech Delivery 

  • Practice vaginal breech deliveries
  • Learn to free the legs using Pinard maneuver
  • Once delivered the neonate requires resuscitation
  • Change maternal vital signs or fetal heart tones during the scenario

C-Section 

  • Special abdominal cover having tissue layers students can dissect
  • Practice delivery of either vertex or breech presentation
