Quick Answer: The maternal and neonatal emergency simulator is a birthing simulator for rehearsing obstetric and newborn emergencies, typically a maternal manikin that delivers a newborn manikin. Maternity teams use a maternal and neonatal emergency simulator to drill their response to events such as shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage and a baby who does not breathe at birth.
Rare Emergencies, Rehearsed Often
Obstetric emergencies are uncommon for any one midwife, yet each demands a fast, coordinated response. Simulation training lets whole teams, midwives, obstetricians, anaesthetists and neonatal staff, practise together until the steps come without hesitation. A simulator with both a mother and a newborn allows one scenario to run from the complication in labour through to the baby’s first minutes of care.
Shoulder dystocia is a classic drill. When the head is born but a shoulder sticks behind the pubic bone, the team calls for help and uses manoeuvres such as McRoberts, flexing the mother’s legs sharply back towards her abdomen, and suprapubic pressure on the baby’s front shoulder, before moving to internal manoeuvres. Postpartum haemorrhage drills cover rubbing up the uterus, giving uterotonic drugs, checking the placenta and estimating blood loss, and teams also rehearse breech birth and cord prolapse.
For the newborn, practice follows the neonatal resuscitation sequence: drying and keeping the baby warm, assessing breathing and heart rate, opening the airway and giving inflation and ventilation breaths, and starting chest compressions only if the heart rate stays very low despite effective ventilation. Which complications this simulator can reproduce, and whether it has electronic monitoring, is not stated in the title and should be confirmed against your training programme.
Applications
- Multidisciplinary obstetric emergency drills in hospitals
- Midwifery and obstetric training in shoulder dystocia, haemorrhage, breech birth and cord prolapse
- Newborn resuscitation practice for delivery room staff
- Emergency obstetric and newborn care training for district and rural facilities
Care & Handling
- Follow the maker’s instructions for simulated blood and fluids, and flush and dry the maternal manikin after haemorrhage drills so residues do not stain or block it.
- Charge or remove batteries in any electronic parts as the maker directs, and keep control units dry.
- Store the newborn manikin apart from the mother, and keep small parts such as the placenta and cord bagged with the set.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is shoulder dystocia?
It is when the baby’s head has been born but a shoulder is caught behind the mother’s pubic bone, so the body does not follow with gentle guidance. It is an emergency because the baby’s oxygen supply is compromised, and teams follow a set sequence of manoeuvres.
What is the McRoberts manoeuvre?
Two helpers flex the mother’s legs sharply back towards her abdomen. This flattens the lower spine and rotates the pelvis, which often frees the stuck shoulder, especially when combined with suprapubic pressure.
How is postpartum haemorrhage managed first?
Call for help, rub up the uterus to make it contract, give uterotonic drugs, check that the placenta is complete and look for tears. Teams also start fluids and measure blood loss, and drills practise doing these steps at the same time rather than one after another.
What are the first steps of newborn resuscitation?
Dry the baby, keep it warm and assess breathing, tone and heart rate. If the baby is not breathing, open the airway and give inflation breaths with a bag and mask. Most babies respond to effective ventilation, and chest compressions are needed only rarely.
Why train as a team rather than individually?
In an emergency, clear roles, closed-loop communication and one person coordinating matter as much as individual skill. Team drills on a simulator expose delays in calling for help or finding equipment before they affect a real patient.
What is cord prolapse?
It is when the umbilical cord slips below the presenting part into the vagina after the membranes rupture. The cord can be compressed, cutting the baby’s oxygen supply, so staff lift the presenting part off the cord and arrange urgent delivery.
