Descripción
Sumario:This technical report describes the making of cervical exam models that can be used to teach cervical dilation and effacement, with the versatility to teach additional obstetrical skills including artificial rupture of membranes (AROM) and fetal scalp electrode (FSE) placement. These models, primarily constructed from materials that are low cost and/or easily accessible within a healthcare setting, can be used to educate nurses, medical students, residents, and other healthcare professionals to improve the evaluation of the labor progress.
