General Handling

The Neonatal Simulator is the size and weight of a newborn baby girl
delivered at term with approximately 2.8 kg (6.2 lbs) body weight and
51 cm (21 inches) length. The arms, legs and neck articulate realistically
and encourage care and proper handling. The simulator can be handled
appropriately for care and resuscitation of a normal newborn. The
SimNewB simulator can be carried to the resuscitation table, for a
realistic start of the resuscitation case. Ensure that the control cables
are free and do not snag.
Muscle Tone and Motions
The muscle tone of the SimNewB simulator's limbs can be set to
represent either a limp (poor muscle tone) or a normal newborn. The
muscle tone impression can be enhanced with spontaneous vigorous
motions. The SimNewB simulator can also be set to have seizure-like
movements of the limbs.
Umbilical Cord:
The SimNewB simulator has a replaceable umbilical cord which can be
clamped, tied, cut, sutured, catheterized, or palpated for the umbilical
pulse. IV fluids or medications may be injected into the vein in the
umbilical cord.

Clinical Simulation

Interchangeable Pupils
The SimNewB simulator is delivered with normal pupils mounted
in the head. A separate case contains 3 sets of plastic pupil inserts
(normal, constricted and dilated pupils) for use in simulating different
patient conditions.
Clothing:
The SimNewB simulator is delivered with baby pants with snaps
at the bottom to allow cable and tubes to pass through. For more
realism at the resuscitation table, the control cables to the simulator
can be hidden under the blanket provided with the simulator.
