Spontaneous breathing
The SimNewB™ manikin's breathing activity can be assessed
from visible chest movement, from vocal sounds (grunting,
crying, etc) and from breath sounds audible with a stethoscope.
The manikin’s spontaneous breathing can be initiated or
stopped by the instructor. The breathing rate can be set to 0-
100 breaths per minute, with 40 breaths per minute as the
default setting.
When connected to a CO
2
source, the SimNewB manikin can
expire CO
2
. This function can be turned on and off from the
or the PC Software.
Central cyanosis
To simulate central cyanosis, activate the SimNewB manikin
cyanosis function, which changes the color of the face
surrounding the lips to blue.
Assisted breathing
The SimNewB manikin is designed for airway devices such as
face masks, ET tubes (size ID 3.5mm recommended) and LMAs
(size 1 recommended).
The manikin is suitable for use with self-inflating bags and flow-
inflating bags. It is not designed for use with automatic
ventilators.
