Introduction and Features

ir

MamaNatalie is a birthing simulator that makes it easy to create very compelling simulations of
normal to more complex birthing scenarios. It is strapped onto the Operator, who is taking the role
of the mother at the same time as manually controlling the following features:

- Fetal heart sounds

- Delivery of placenta, also incomplete

- Baby positions in birth tract

- Uterine firmness

- Intensity of bleeding and volume of blood loss

MamaNatalie also allows simulation of:

- Urine Bladder catheterization

- Administration of medications.

To Prepare for Simulation

To Prepare NeoNatalie

MamaNatalie gives birth to NeoNatalie, a highly realistic newborn simulator that facilitates effective
learning of essential newborn care, including basic resuscitation measures. NeoNatalie has realistic
size and appearance, and also natural weight, feel and touch when filled with lukewarm water.
The baby’s status can be simulated as desired for effective role playing in all relevant scenarios,
from care after normal birth to treatment of emergency situations. The following features can be
simulated:

- Crying

- Spontaneous breathing

- Palpalble umbilical pulse

1 Fill NeoNatalie with Water

a) Pull out the filling extension from under the face skin. Open the valve. Apply your lips - or a bag­ mask ventilation device for improved hygiene - to the valve and inflate until the body is partially
inflated. (This will separate the foils and allow easy filling with water afterwards.)

b) Unscrew the filling cap. Place NeoNatalie across a chair or similar to provide support while
filling with approx. 2 litres of water from a tap or suitable container. It may be practical to use a
circular mask as a funnel. Return filling cap.

c) Open the valve. Fill NeoNatalie Suction - or another suitable irrigation device with water - and
use this to insert additional water into NeoNatalie’s body until the body feels firm.

d) Close the valve. Fold the filling extension forward and push it under the face skin until it clicks
into the holder.

2 Fit the Hard Skull with Fontanellas onto NeoNatalie’s Head

a) Fold the sides of the hard skull upwards.
Place the skull with the triangular frontal
fontanel on the forehead.

b) Unfold the sides of the hard skull
downwards to cover NeoNatalie’s ears.
Feed the strap under the airways and secure
the through the small hole on the other side.

Note: Do not tighten the strap over the airways as this will block free air flow and prevent successful
ventilations.
