SimNewB™

Laerdal’s first neonatal simulator and youngest member of our patient simulator family. Its realistic traits and lifelike responses possibly make it the most emotionally engaging patient simulator of all.

Designed to meet the training requirements of neonatal emergency medicine and resuscitation courses, SimNewB is the most authentic and comprehensive simulation solution in its field. SimNewB helps improve team dynamics, builds confidence and facilitates practice in a risk-free environment.  Utilizing SimNewB for multidisciplinary simulation based training allows healthcare providers to improve communication, refine critical thinking skills, and ultimately help improve neonatal patient outcomes.


"For simulation to be as effective as possible, it needs to be an ongoing process, as part of an ongoing rolling program that keeps addressing different skills and different teamwork objectives. It goes back to the really important part of simulation which is not just the individual, but the team itself."

Dr. Martin G Parry Associate Director,
UK South Thames Foundation School BSc, MBBS, FRCA

Making Simulation Easier
Easy to integrate into all neonatal training curricula, SimNewB’s innovative user interface and scenario design allows instructors to control the simulator’s responses throughout a training session with the push of a button on the remote handheld control. Features include six preset patient levels ranging from a vigorous to a compromised newborn.

Helping you Succeed
High quality simulation training requires much more than a simulator. SimNewB is an all encompassing simulation solution which includes course material as well as our reputable Advanced Video System which, will assist you to give effective and comprehensive debriefing.

Instructor training courses are available to get you up and running quickly, while our range of technical services will look after the practical aspects of installing and maintaining your equipment.

Realistic Anatomical Features:
The simulator accurately represents a full term, 50th percentile newborn female. Measuring 21 inches and weighing 7lbs, SimNewB can present as a limp, cyanotic newborn with no vital signs, or as a moving, crying, vigorous newborn.

Patient Umbilicus :
An umbilicus with a life-like pulse can be assessed, cut, and can be catheterized for IV access.

Intraosseous Access :
SimNewB features I/O access in both legs.

Realistic Airway and Breathing Functionality :

  • The airway has been designed to allow for training in all aspects of newborn airway management, including the use of Positive-Pressure Airway devices and the placement of ET tubes and LMAs.
  • Lung compliance : Instructors can alter the simulator’s lung compliance to challenge provider’s skills in detecting and treating lung compliance changes.
  • Realistic chest rise : The chest rise on the simulator can be adapted to be absent or normal, with breathing rates up to 100 breaths per minute.
  • Needle decompression : The torso of SimNewB includes functionality to relieve a pneumothorax via needle decompression.
