1. A simulation system for teaching patient care, the system comprising:
- a maternal simulator having;
a body sized and shaped to simulate a pregnant woman;
one or more simulated respiratory components positioned within the body;
one or more simulated circulatory components positioned within the body; and
a birthing device positioned within the body, the birthing device configured to interface with a fetal simulator and configured to translate and rotate the fetal simulator in a manner simulating a birthing sequence;
wherein the one or more simulated respiratory components, the one or more simulated circulatory components, and the birthing device are operable without physical connection to a device external of the body.

Abstract
An interactive education system for teaching patient care to a user is described. The system comprises a patient simulator; a virtual instrument for use with the patient simulator in performing patient care activities; means for sensing an interaction between the virtual instrument and the simulator, and means for providing feedback to the user regarding the interaction between the virtual instrument and the simulator. In one aspect, the system includes a maternal simulator, a fetal simulator, and a neonatal simulator.

19. A simulation system for teaching patient care, the system comprising:
-
a maternal simulator having; a body sized and shaped to simulate a pregnant woman, the body including a simulated torso simulated articulating legs, simulated articulating arms, and a simulated head; one or more simulated respiratory components positioned within the body, the one or more simulated respiratory components including a pair of simulated lungs; one or more simulated circulatory components positioned within the body, the one or more simulated circulatory components configured to produce a simulated heart rate and simulated blood pressure; and a birthing device positioned within the torso of the body, the birthing device configured to interface with a fetal simulator and configured to translate and rotate the fetal simulator in a manner simulating a birthing sequence; wherein the birthing device includes a mechanism for selectively engaging the birthing device with the fetal simulator, and wherein the fetal simulator is not removable from the maternal simulator during birthing simulation when the mechanism is selectively engaged with the fetal simulator. - View Dependent Claims (20)
