Using a specially-designed, high-tech, full-body mannequin of color, along with a mannequin infant, obstetric physicians, anesthesiologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, midwives, physician assistants, and respiratory therapists participate in simulations that further help in identifying and treating potentially life-threatening conditions during labor and childbirth.
“It is fantastic that we now have a state-of-the-art mother-baby simulation center right here in Elmhurst,” said Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. “This center will train health care professionals on the best practices for delivering healthy newborns and for caring for delivering mothers. The result will be fewer cases of maternal and infant mortality and better outcomes for all of the mothers and newborns cared for at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst.
The new sim lab replicates OB emergencies, including but not limited to: Maternal hemorrhage; Hypertensive emergencies; Shoulder dystocia; Maternal cardiopulmonary arrest; Stat Cesarean Section; Cord prolapse; and Neonatal resuscitation.
