Conception and construction of a teaching simulator (umbilical vessel catheterization).
Difficult medical procedures, such as umbilical vessel catheterization, are more easily and safely taught with a simulator than with the actual patient. The need, conception, design, and construction of such a simulator is presented in the hope that others may recognize its value and be encouraged to design their own teaching simulators for their particular needs.
