Umbilical Cord
Chest Overlay with Lungs and Umbilical Stump
Placement:
The Chest Overlay with Lungs may be used for
manually generated normal or erratic breathing
and is controlled by a squeeze bulb connected to
transparent blue tubing .
1 . White tubing controlling heart sounds and
umbilical pulse .
2 . Translucent blue tubing controlling breathing
(chest rise and fall) .
To replace the Lung Overlay with Umbilical Stump:
1 . Unsnap the connection points on each shoulder
and side .
2 . Remove tubing connections .
3 . Connect tubing to new overlay as shown in
image above .
The umbilical stump is attached to the chest
overlay . Connect the umbilical cord to the umbilical
stump by inserting the quick connector end of the
cord into the stump end (Fig . A) .
Practice umbilical clamping using the included
umbilical cord clamps in the locations shown below
(Fig . B) . Simulate cutting the cord by detaching the
cord from the stump, leaving the clamps in place .
NOTE: Do not cut the umbilical cord as it is meant
for simulation of cutting only. Cutting the cord on
the stump will cause the pulse to stop working and
the chest overlay will need to be replaced . Cutting
the cord above the quick connector insert on the
long umbilical cord will damage the connector and
it will need to be replaced to continue training .
Replacement umbilical cords are also available .
Heart Sounds and Umbilical Pulse:
The heart sounds and pulse beats are manually
simulated using the squeeze bulb attached to
the white tubing . Pressing the pulse bulb creates
simultaneous rhythms with the umbilical stump
pulse and the heart sounds . Use the included
stethoscope to listen to the manually generated
heart sounds .
