摘要: Abstract Fetal oxygenation is sometimes compromised due to hyperstimulation of uterine contractions (UC) following labor augmentation with oxytocin. We present a model for educational simulation that incorporates the pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic properties oxytocin, reproducing effect this drug on UC features. Six tracings were generated, reflecting different relevant situations. Three independent experts identified correctly simulated situations in all and attributed an average realism score 9.4 (0–10). The presented oxytocin provides sufficiently realistic results be used healthcare education can easily adapted patients scenarios.
