Objective/ Background: The goal of this model is to provide a simulation of manual placental extraction for students and residents.
Methods: Using ice packs/hot water bottles, foam can koozies, and agar, an inexpensive and simple model was built to simulate manual placental extraction. This simulation was tested on a group of six senior medical students and six obstetrics and gynecology residents during a postpartum hemorrhage simulation.
Results: The twelve students and residents to participate in the simulation report satisfaction with the placental extraction model.
Conclusion/ Discussion: This model can be used to teach incoming residents how to do manual placental extractions for low cost in simulation settings.
