Assisted breathing
The SimNewB simulator is designed for airway devices such as face
masks, ET tubes (size ID 3.5mm recommended) and LMAs (size 1
recommended). The simulator is suitable for use with self-inflating
bags and flow inflating bags. It is not designed for use with automatic
ventilators.
Airway restrictions and different airway compliances can be
simulated for each lung in 3 settings each:
• Fully open, with no noticeable restriction when ventilating
• Partially closed, with noticeable restriction when ventilating
• Fully closed, with no air movement when ventilating
A size 0/1 face mask is recommended for mask-ventilation with the
SimNewB simulator. During mask ventilation with elevated airway
pressure, air may realistically leak through the esophagus to the
abdomen, visibly distending the stomach. To vent out accumulating air
