A new way to teach
neonatal resuscitation.

Neonatal resus sim sessions can teach preparation, teamwork, and communication while participants practise the standard algorithm skills and sequencing. We present a new format for this teaching: in person but online, highly interactive, instructor-led but supported by a real-time physiology engine that manages the evolving vital signs on the instructor's behalf.

Shape the case in under two minutes.

Pick a preset, then dial the physiology. A difficulty read shows you what you're asking of the team.

§2 · The physiology engine

Continuous physiology engine

The engine models ventilation, lung disease, airway obstruction, cardiac output, oxygenation, shunts and intravascular volume. Anaemia is modelled too. From all of these, the manikin's heart rate, respiratory drive and skin colour are derived.

The team get instant physiological feedback — the baby's colour, breathing and numbers move with what they do. The facilitator doesn't have to dial the vitals by hand or call out what the baby looks like, leaving them free to watch the team and shape the debrief.

Build scenarios your students practise solo.

The companion iOS app includes a builder for solo practice — design a case around the exact teaching point you want, then send it to your students to run on their own, each with an automated debrief built in.

Author the physiology, the equipment setup and any complications like tension pneumothorax or PPHN, then forward to your students to play through alone. Students get scoring based on NRP / ANZCOR guidelines and the opportunity to request an AI-powered debrief (at no charge).

Suggested custom scenario

Recognising oesophageal intubation

Absent chest rise, no CO₂ detector colour change — the student has to spot the tube is in the wrong place and re-attempt.

Suggested custom scenario

Careful pre-resus set-up

Set up with incorrect oxygen blender or flow or PIP and PEEP — so the student learns why checking equipment before the baby arrives matters.

Who's behind it

Built by a practising clinician and educator.

neoSim is built by Dr Mike Hewson, Neonatologist, Lyell McEwin Hospital in Adelaide — a clinician-developer behind nicutools.org, a widely used neonatal reference.
