This study introduces a new, low-cost simulation model for teaching transcervical balloon catheter placement. The model significantly improved resident comfort and ease of learning for mechanical cervical ripening procedures.

Area of Science:

Medical Simulation
Obstetrics and Gynecology Education

Background:

Mechanical cervical ripening is crucial for labor induction.
Current training models for transcervical balloon catheter placement are lacking.
Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) residents face challenges in mastering this skill.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate resident satisfaction with a novel, low-cost simulation model for learning transcervical balloon catheter placement.
To assess the effectiveness of the simulation model in improving resident comfort and ease of learning.

Main Methods:

A descriptive pretest-post-test survey study was conducted.
Obstetrics and Gynecology residents at an academic medical center participated.
A novel, low-cost simulation model was utilized for training.

Main Results:

Participants reported statistically significant improvements in comfort (p=0.03) and ease of learning (p≤0.001) after using the simulation model.
Residents found both learning and achieving correct placement of the balloon catheter to be difficult initially.
100% of participants completed the pretest and post-test surveys.

Conclusions:

A novel, simple, accessible, and low-cost simulation model for teaching transcervical balloon catheter placement is presented.
This model offers a valuable tool for OBGYN resident training in mechanical cervical ripening.
The simulation effectively enhanced resident learning and confidence in the procedure.
