Laerdal Medical, in alliance with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), has developed a second volume of pre-programmed scenarios for use with Laerdal's SimNewB (TM) neonatal patient simulator. SimNewB is designed to integrate simulation into the AAP's Neonatal Resuscitation Program and to facilitate training for treatment of other critical medical conditions in the neonatal period.
The scenarios aim at improving performance, critical thinking and effective teamwork that is vital to recognizing and managing newborn emergencies. From the delivery room to the NICU, the SimNewB simulator allows for hands-on training in realistic settings and is the ideal simulator for providing education and training for the specific needs of neonates.
The second volume of scenarios, entitled Advanced Neonatal Resuscitation and Stabilization Scenarios, addresses special situations described in the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 5th Edition, that may complicate newborn resuscitation, and conditions that require stabilization of the critically ill newborn beyond the initial resuscitation period. Learners will be asked to draw upon advanced knowledge and skills to effectively resuscitate and stabilize a newborn in a variety of settings including the delivery room, outside of the delivery room, and in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
