WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As labor and delivery (L&D) and pediatric critical care units strive to meet the needs of their unique and small patients, their training needs have increased. Always committed to improvement, Laerdal Medical will launch the new SimNewB® and SimBaby™ simulators tomorrow at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) conference in Los Angeles, CA. SimNewB® is a neonatal simulator developed in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to meet the specific learning objectives specified by the Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®). Designed to facilitate training in neonatal resuscitation and stabilization skills within the first ten minutes of life, SimNewB® helps to prepare healthcare providers to quickly and effectively respond to critical events. Key features of the new SimNewB® include:
Applying the same clinically-driven standards, Laerdal is also introducing SimBaby™, a completely redesigned pediatric simulator developed using real scans of a 9-month old infant. SimBaby™ can be used to train interdisciplinary teams for general patient assessment and to manage critical events, which can lead to improved response times and positive patient outcomes. Key features of the new SimBaby™ include:
SimNewB® and SimBaby™ can be operated via a handheld SimPad®, a handheld SimPad® PLUS, or a touchscreen Laerdal Learning Application(LLEAP) computer. Both simulators are expected to begin shipping during the second quarter of 2018. “The new SimNewB® and SimBaby™ have been developed to address recent advances in neonatal resuscitation and pediatric care, respectively.
