CLINICAL
SIMULATION
Airway restrictions and different airway compliances can be si-
mulated for each lung in 3 settings each:
- Fully open, with no noticeable restriction when ventilating
- Partially closed, with noticeable restriction when ventilating
- Fully closed, with no air movement when ventilating
A size 0/1 face mask is recommended for mask-ventilation with
the SimNewB™ manikin. During mask ventilation with elevated
airway pressure, air may realistically leak through the esophagus
to the abdomen, visibly distending the stomach.
To vent out accumulating air from the stomach, an orogastric
tube (size 8 FR recommended) can be in place simultaneously
with mask ventilation.
Breathing sounds audible by auscultation
Breath sounds can be listened to with a stethoscope at the left
and right mid-axillary areas and the mid-clavicular sites.
Breath sound alternatives for each lung are listed in the Detail
Specifications section, page 36.
Pneumothorax decompression
The needle decompression procedure can be performed by in-
serting a needle at the left chest side (fourth intercostal space)
into the pleural space. The rib structure can be palpated
through the skin. The SimNewB manikin's pleural space is enc-
losed so that the needle can not damage the inner compo-
nents of the manikin.
