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.

1-33. (canceled)
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.
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 legs, simulated arms, and a simulated head;
- 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 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.
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.
