Its a critical moment in an emergency room, when a baby stops breathing. <\/p>\n
However, in this hospital room, the patient bounces back in seconds when hospital staffers simply push the reset button. <\/p>\n
Rady Childrens Hospital showed off its newest piece of training technology Thursday. <\/p>\n
Thanks to a donation from Fuerte Hills Unit of Rady Children's Auxiliary, doctors and nurses have access to a realistic simulator that looks a lot like a toy. <\/p>\n
SimBaby was developed by a company in Sweden and is on the cutting edge of simulation in medicine. <\/p>\n
The doll is as life-like as it can be, said Charles Sauer, DO, a Neonatologist at Rady Childrens Hospital. <\/p>\n
SimBaby gurgles, breathes and even turns blue depending on how trainers manipulate the program. <\/p>\n
We can collapse a lung and do all sorts of training with it, Sauer adds. Thats wonderful for our staff. <\/p>\n
Nurses and doctors monitor SimBabys heartbeat, check blood pressure and can even practice placing IVs or inserting chest tubes on the tiny doll. <\/p>\n
Then, when trainees take the correct action, the doll cries signaling an end to the exercise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
