The only thing that Noelle can't duplicate is what a mother would normally during the delivery like, "I hate you" and "get this thing out". Hehehe.....

Here’s a list of all the features Noelle can do now.

NOELLE® features

* Includes Newborn HAL®
* Control NOELLE® and Newborn HAL® at distances up to 100 meters
* Each smoothly transitions between physiologic states in response to commands from a wireless PC
* Airway, breathing and circulation
* Vertex, breech and C-section deliveries
* Shoulder dystocia and PPH
* Dynamic perinatal monitor
* Maternal and neonatal vital signs monitors
* Control NOELLE® between rooms and floors of buildings
* NOELLE® smoothly transitions between physiologic states in response to commands from a wireless PC
* Use our scenarios or quickly generate your own
* Blood pressure and oxygen saturation can be taken bilaterally using REAL equipment
* Multiple heart and respiratory sounds
* Pulses are continuous and synchronized with ECG
* Speech and convulsions
* Caregiver actions time stamped and logged
* Evaluate actions with a single click and insert notes in a real time performance log

NOELLE®’s Newborn HAL® features

* Breathing and pulses
* Color and vital signs that are responsive to hypoxic events and inter ventions
* Physiologic modeling and trending

Normal Vaginal & Instrumented Delivery

* Fetus descends and rotates internally as it moves down the birth canal
* Extensible birth canal with catheterization and programmable hemorrhage
* Fetal external rotation aligns shoulders with birth canal
* New fetal head skin for use with most vacuum devices and forceps

Shoulder Dystocia

* Use delivery Profile Control to specify exactly when the “turtle sign” will occur and how long you allow students to deal with this dilemma
* Relieve dystocia using suprapubic pressure, McRobert’s maneuver, posterior arm sweep, fetal rotation or “elbows/knees” position

Intrapartum Modeling or Trending

* Use our physiologic model that controls skin color and vital signs
* Trend color and vital signs as you wish
* New “branching” scenarios

File Sharing

* Provide students with images such as ultrasound images, CT scans, lab results, or even multimedia presentations as the scenario progresses

Breech Delivery

* Practice vaginal breech deliveries
* Learn to free the legs using Pinard maneuver
* Once delivered the neonate may require resuscitation
* Change maternal vital signs or fetal heart tones during the scenario

C-Section

* Special abdominal cover has tissue layers students can dissect
* Practice delivery of either vertex or breech presentation
* Change vital signs and fetal heart tones with this or any other scenario “ on the fly”

Episiotomy Repair

* Deliveries may require an episiotomy to prevent an uncontrolled tear of the vulva
* These reusable repair modules also feature tears of the labia and periurethra

Postpartum Hemorrhage and Fundal Massage

* This postpartum uterus bleeds through cervical os and cervix
* The uterus can be massaged and it shrinks. Instructor then reduces bleeding
* Programmable PPH with flow from refillable internal tank

Airway

* Oral and nasal intubation
* Use an ET tube or LMA
* Uni or bilateral chest rise
* Multiple upper airway sounds

Breathing

* Control rate/depth of respiration
* Ventilation is measured and logged
* Independent left and right lung sounds
* Breath sounds

Circulation and color change

* Multiple heart sounds, rates, intensities
* Chest compressions measured/logged
* Blood pressure and IV
* Color, vital signs, and motion respond to hypoxic events and interventions
* Umbilical, brachial, and scalp pulses operate continuously
* Pulse strengths vary with blood pressure and pulses are synchronized with ECG

More Newborn Features

* Crying and convulsions
* View ECGs with physiologic variations generated in real-time
* Conductive skin regions
* Apply real electrodes
* Vigorous cry synchronized with breathing
* Programmable arm motion
* Bowel sounds
* Great for APGAR scoring
