Meet Victoria, one of most technologically advanced and highly realistic "patient simulators" on the market. Watch her give birth via emergency c-section, as part of a medical training exercise. WSJ's Tanya Rivero reports.
The University of Arizona recently added a new model of birthing simulator that's only come to a handful of health care education facilities. It's an unbelievably lifelike product manufactured by Gaumard and nicknamed Victoria.
Victoria replicates the birthing process with her eight hours of battery life, allowing medical professionals to practice the process without using a real person. The aim is to improve patient care by engaging in repeated simulations, and Victoria can even mimic clinical scenarios and complications to that end.
