NeoNatalie is a newborn simulator with realistic appearance and weight that facilitates effective learning of standard Newborn Care and Resuscitation. NeoNatalie was developed for the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) training program together with the following affordable therapeutic tools: Penguin Newborn Suction, Upright Newborn Bag-Mask, and NeoNatalie Resuscitator.
The NeoNatalie newborn simulator is used in the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) training curriculum to improve neonatal resuscitation skills through hands-on learning and practice. It is collapsible manikin that can be transported easily and can be filled with water or air. It helps facilitate the skills training, decision making and simulation of the birth asphyxia scenarios to train and equip healthcare providers in low resource settings.
The NeoNatalie Newborn Simulator:
• Supports simulation in teams and skills training, learning and practice of Essential Newborn Care, Newborn Resuscitation and counselling around newborn care.
• Facilitates realistic practice of newborn resuscitation including drying, stimulation, suctioning and effective bag-mask ventilation, as chest will only rise with correct technique. This is in line with global guidelines for newborn simulators.
• Has realistic size and appearance, and also natural weight, feel and touch when filled with lukewarm water.
• Has squeeze bulbs that allow simulation of birth cry, spontaneous breathing, palpable umbilical pulse, and heart sound. These bulbs give manual control of respiration, heart rate, and umbilical cord pulsations to the trainer.
• Can be easily prepared with 2 litres of water, air, or rice to give a realistic feel.
• Can be simulated as desired for effective role-play covering normal care after birth as well as standard resuscitation measures.
• Comes with a carry bag included for convenient transport
NeoNatalie can be used for multiple trainings without producing any waste.
HBB neonatal resuscitation techniques have been shown to reduce neonatal mortality by up to 47% and fresh stillbirths by 24%*.
