IMULATION
1. General handling
The Neonatal Simulator is the size and weight of a newborn
baby girl delivered at term with approximately 3.5 kg (7 lbs)
body weight and 51 cm (21 inches) length.
The arms, legs and neck articulate realistically and encourage
care and proper handling. The simulator can be handled appro-
priately for care and resuscitation of a normal newborn. The
SimNewB manikin can be carried to the resuscitation table, for
a realistic start of the resuscitation case. Ensure that the control
cables are free and do not snag.
Muscle tone and motions
The muscle tone of the SimNewB’s limbs can be set to repre-
sent either a limp (poor muscle tone) or a normal newborn.
The muscle tone impression can be enhanced with spontane-
ous vigorous motions.
The SimNewB manikin can also be set to have seizure-like mo-
vements of the limbs.
Umbilical cord:
The SimNewB manikin has a replaceable umbi-
lical cord which can be clamped, tied, cut, sutured, catheterized,
or palpated for the umbilical pulse.
IV fluids or medications may be injected into the vein in the
umbilical cord.
Interchangeable pupils
The SimNewB manikin is delivered with normal pupils moun-
ted in the head. A separate case contains 3 sets of plastic pupil
inserts (normal, constricted and dilated pupils) for use in simu-
lating different patient conditions.
