Laerdal Newborn Anne Simulation Mannequin

The first ten minutes of a newborn’s life are critical, so it’s important that doctors are prepared and trained before entering the delivery room. The Laerdal Newborn Anne Simulation Mannequin is an anatomically-accurate mannequin designed for skills training in neonatal resuscitation.

Key Features and Benefits of Newborn Anne

• Educationally effective and completely life-like
• Realistic anatomical landmarks and durable design simulate a full-term female newborn
• Lightweight and portable design allows Newborn Anne to be highly mobile for use in multiple clinical settings
• Has been designed to be integrated into all neonatal training curricula
• Built from the SimNewB platform
• Specifically designed with mannequin features that are clinically relevant to acquire neonatal life support skills
• Newborn Anne accurately represents a full term (40 week), 50th percentile newborn female, measuring 21 inches and weighing 7lbs
• Airway designed to allow for training in all aspects of newborn airway management
• Can use positive-pressure airway devices
• Can place ET tubes and LMAs
• The torso includes functionality to relieve a tension pneumothorax via needle decompression
• The patent umbilicus has a manually-generated pulse and can be assessed, cut and catheterised for IV access
• Newborn Anne features IO access in both legs

Accurate Anatomical Design

Newborn Anne accurately represents a full-term (40 week), 50th percentile female newborn baby. This provides you with accurate training and the resuscitation skills required in the first ten minutes of a newborn’s life. The Simulation Mannequin meets the key components of all neonatal clinical training curricula.

Technical Specifications

Airway Features:

• Positioning the newborn to simulate opening the airway via head tilt, chin lift or jaw thrust
• Positive Pressure Ventilation (BVM, T-Piece resuscitator or anaesthesia bag)
• ET tube intubation
• LMA insertion
• Orogastric tube insertion
• Stomach distension (when ET is misplaced)
• Suctioning (of the nares, nasopharynx, oropharynx, oesophagus and the lungs via an ET tube) – fluids should not be introduced into the airway
• Meconium module for suction removal

Breathing Features:

• Bilateral and unilateral (with mainstream intubation) chest rise and fall with mechanical ventilation
• Pneumothorax – needle thoracentesis left mid axillary (pneumothorax)

Cardiac Features:

• Manual chest compression at appropriate depth (1/3AP) and force

Circulation Features:

• Manual umbilical pulse

Vascular Access:

• Umbilical vein/artery access via patent umbilicus
• IO access in left and right lower leg, tibial tuberosity and medial malleolus

Other Features:

• Full articulation
