Pneumothorax decompression
The needle decompression procedure can be performed by inserting a
needle at the left chest side (fourth intercostal space) into the pleural
space. The rib structure can be palpated through the skin. The SimNewB
simulator's pleural space is enclosed so that the needle can not damage
the inner components of the simulator.
Oxygen Saturation (Optional Patient Monitor)
A standard SpO probe (not included) can be attached to the
2
SimNewB system during the simulation to add visual realism only. There
is no interface between the SpO
It is up to the instructor to set the SpO
the simulation team members on the optional monitor. This is obtained
through the SimPad or LLEAP software.

Heart rate and pulse
The SimNewB simulator has a heartbeat and palpatable umbilical and
right brachial pulses. The palpatable pulses can be switched on or off by
the instructor. The heartbeat can be listened to using a stethoscope at
the left side of the chest. The heart rate can be varied between 0 and
300 bpm. Even if the SimPad sets the pulse to off, palpating the brachial
pulse will turn on all pulses unless the BP cuff is inflated to 10 mmHg
or more.
NOTE:
Only use appropriate size neonate/infant stethoscope
Chest compressions
The SimNewB simulator has normal visible chest landmarks (xyphoid
process, nipples) and underlying sternum structure. The SimNewB
simulator's maximum chest compression depth is one third of the AP
distance. Each series of chest compressions is logged.
