Paediatric Simulation

Patient simulation

Children account for a small percentage of the total patients treated by emergency care professionals. Therefore, opportunities to use paediatric assessment and lifesaving skills are limited. As skill decay can
be rapid, frequent practice sessions and refresher training are extremely important to maintain preparedness.
(Barbara Aehhlert, Pediatriv Advanced life Support, 2007)

SimNewB Standard is a portable patient simulator where you easily can practise in actual environments in which the learners will be working. In an incubator with a portable air source, SimNewB is easily transportable from the delivery room to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or between different units, (Anaesthesia, Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and Maternity Ward). Including spontaneous respiration, airway control and complications, vocal sounds, extremity motions, cyanosis and many other clinical features, the SimNewB is the ideal patient simulator for practising neonatal resuscitation.

SimNewB Advanced is more than a patient simulator. In addition to the flexibility that the Standard Version offers (Advanced also comes with a Remote Control), you can bring the simulation to a higher level in a fixed
environment. With its video debriefing, patient monitoring, prepackaged patient cases, scenarios and compatible Advanced Video System, SimNewB is a complete learning solution. The Advanced version gives the learners a realistic environment with extensive information about the patient.
