Stomach catherization
A feeding tube (size 8FR) can be inserted into the stomach.
Warning:
Do not insert fluids into the SimNewB simulator's stomach!
A suction catheter (size 10FR) can be inserted into the stomach for
simulation of stomach content removal. Suction can be applied to the
catheter as normal.

Simulator Preparation Before Use

Inserting fluids into the umbilical reservoir
Use a syringe to insert fluid into the abdominal reservoir. Do not fill
more than 50 ml.
Attaching the umbilical cord
Lubricate the end of the umbilical cord to be inserted with liquid hand
soap. Squeeze and press the umbilical cord into the umbilical opening.
The cord should be pressed at least 38mm (1.5 inches) into the opening,
but need not be pushed further down.
To remove, gently pull on the umbilical cord.
Clinical Simulation
Changing eye pupils
1. Open the eyelids wide, take care not to rip the face skin.
2. Using the suction cup provided in the kit or the edge of your
fingernail, remove the pupil from the eye.
3. Replace with the pupil of choice, using the small suction cup pro-
vided or press into place with finger.
Inserting the meconium module
1. Insert the module with a finger - do not use force.
NOTE:
Do not add lubricant to the module
NOTE:
Do not insert the meconium module past uvula.
2. A suction catheter @ 100 mmHg will remove the meconium
module.
3. A tether has been added to ensure removal of the object.
For intubation following the removal of the meconium module,
add lubricant to the ET-tube before intubation.
