Assembly and checkout

NOELLE™ is shipped partially assembled. The preterm fetus and full term neonate are
fully assembled.

Place NOELLE on a flat surface. Remove the abdominal cover, remove the fetus,
elevating pillow and other materials packed within the abdomen. Note that the automatic
birthing mechanism secures the upper and lower torsos using four (4) tee-nuts. Also note
that the speaker in the abdominal cover is connected to the birthing mechanism providing
the fetal tones. Now connect NOELLE’s legs as outlined below.

NOELLE’s birthing mechanism is secured to the upper and lower torsos with four
(4) tee-nuts. Removing these tee-nuts provides a rapid means of disassembly.

5
To attach the legs, remove the wingnuts, washers and springs from both hips

6
Remove IM site from each leg and slide bolt through hole. Reach through the IM
site and attach the first washer, then spring, the second washer and finally the
wingnut. Tighten nut until the spring is compressed slightly.

Birthing Controller

The birthing controller is powered by 100-240 VAC and 50-60 Hertz. Connect the power
cord provided to the Birthing Controller. In certain countries, the customer may have to
supply an electrical wall adapter to connect between NOELLE’s power cord to your wall
outlet. The Birthing controller has four (4) switches:

Fetal heart rate

Birthing speed
Pause/Resume
On/Off

The Birthing Controller operates 100-240VAC and regulates the speed of delivery
as well as fetal heart rate. Delivery can be paused at any point to extend delivery
time or to simulate certain complications.

7
To begin, observe the movement of the automatic birthing mechanism without the fetus
in place. This “test run” will be done without the “tummy cover” in place. Choose a fetal
heart rate of say 140, and a delivery speed of “1” which is the fastest birthing speed.
Select “On” and press “Resume”. A small motor located in the birthing mechanism will
start which provides internal rotation, movement down the birth canal, and finally
external rotation so that the fetal shoulders may align with the long axis of the vulval
insert. Observe that the motor will stop from time to time in order to more realistically
simulate the birthing process. Note that the fetal heart tones may be heard during
delivery.

Select “Pause” at any time and the mechanism will stop. Select “Resume” when ready.
Note that two adapters are attached to the birthing mechanism. Select one adapter and the
fetus will be birthed to about the shoulders; select two adapters and the entire head and
upper torso will be birthed before the mechanism stops.

Allow the birthing mechanism to reach the limit of its travel where it will stop. Select
“Pause” and the mechanism will return to its original position. Now select a different
delivery speed , a different fetal heart rate, and select “Resume” to begin another birthing
process.

Virtual Monitoring Package

Includes a wireless student terminal with two touch-screen LCD displays and operating
software. One display is the virtual maternal monitor, the other is the virtual fetal
monitor. Both are controlled by the optional Instructor’s terminal using either cables or
wireless Ethernet link. After the fetus delivers, the fetal monitor is changed to a neonatal
monitor by the student using the touch screen display.

The fetal monitor patterns include programmable baseline rate and variability ; early late
and variable decelerations ; spontaneous and uniform accelerations.

The maternal monitor traces include ECG lead II ; invasive blood pressure ; respiration
and exhaled CO2 as well as alarms.

The neonatal monitor traces include ECG lead II ; invasive blood pressure ; respiration
and exhaled CO2 as well as alarms.

An extensive software Set-up and HELP file which is appended to this instruction and
can be accessed from the Instructor’s software package.

8
Instructor’s laptop communicates wirelessly with the tower computer located
between the monitor supports. It controls the fetal monitor on the left and the
maternal monitor on the right. For example, the maternal monitor now shows
classic pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and the fetal monitor exhibits a low
fetal baseline heartrate with variable decelerations. The student must quickly
recognize these dilemmas and call for HELP !

Following delivery the Instructor has selected maternal vitals signs consistent with
postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) ; while neonatal resuscitation has begun on a PEDI
Blue neonate. Again, students must recognize these problems and summon HELP
stat for both the obstetric and neonatal teams.

Section 2 – NOELLE Patient Care

Bandaging - the fingers and toes of NOELLE are separated to permit bandaging
exercises. The surface of the simulator is smooth and resistant to water, oil and liniments.

Eyes/Ophthalmologic Exercises – The head has separately inset and removable eyes,
permitting:

Administration of orbital medicines, including drops/ointments into the

conjunctival sac.
Removal of foreign bodies
Eye irrigation

Teeth and tongue – Noelle is supplied with fixed upper and lower dentures. The tongue
may be moved gently from side to side.

Hygienic Care – NOELLE’s head is supplied with a wig for instruction in combing,
shampooing and head draping. Bathing exercises may also be practiced.

Injection Sites – Sites on the upper left and right arms and legs permit IM injections. An
IV training arm provides an extensive venous network to start IVs or infuse fluids.

Range of Movement – NOELLE’s head and jaw articulate. The legs and arm articulate
in the normal fashion.

Ear, Nose and Airway – The ear cavity may be filled with about 10 mL of fluid. The
nose is patent permitting feeding exercises or passage of a nasal/tracheal catheter. The
airway contains nominal landmarks permitting either BVM or intubation exercises. The
trachea extends to the bronchi and lungs. Lungs expand normally permitting realistic
chest rise.

Injection Training Arm and Hand – IV, IM or subQ exercises can be performed.
Always use needle sets sized #22 or thinner to extend the life of the veins and skin.
Always use clean water in the veins and drain after use.

10
CPR – Since NOELLE contains a realisitic airway we do not recommend mouth to
mouth ventilation since the airway would be difficult to clean afterward. Instead use a
normal size adult BVM which will seal around the mouth and nose. The ribs have normal
anatomic landmarks and the lungs permit an adequate chest rise. NOELLE has three
tubes extending from beneath her left arm. One has a squeeze bulb used to pulse the
bilateral carotids. Another tube has a blue marking which may be used to monitor airway
ventilation. A third tube has a red marking used to measure the depth of cardiac
compression. These two tubes may be connected to an optional CPR monitor supplied by
Gaumard Scientific. Contact Customer Service for details.

Squeeze bulb is used to generate carotid pulses

11
Tubes labeled with red and blue markers are used with the optional monitor shown
to teach and test airway ventilation and chest compression

The more advanced CPR Link shown above may be used with your computer to
record ventilation and compression waveforms

12
Airway Management – Most airway management techniques can be practiced on
NOELLE including BVM, nasal/oral intubation, and suctioning. For intubation we
suggest a Miller 3 or MAC 4 blade as well as a Fr 7 or 7.5 ETT. Use the Sellick
maneuver if needed to bring the vocal folds into view. Remember to lubricate the
distal end of any airway device before inserting it into NOELLE.

Section 3 - NOELLE™ Obstetric Care

Overview

NOELLE is supplied with a detailed Instructor and Student guide describing what
students really need to know as well as quizzes and nine scenarios. Extra copies of the
Instructor and/or Student Guides are available from Gaumard Scientific.

The NOELLE birthing mechanism offers the ability to demonstrate a variety of obstetric
techniques including:

Fetal palpation
Vaginal delivery
Shoulder dystocia
Cesarean section delivery
Complete, frank and footling breech deliveries
External version
Cord prolapse
Placenta previa

14
 Vacuum delivery

Automatic Birthing Mechanism

NOELLE is supplied with an electromechanical system to automatically deliver the fetus.

The system provides for internal rotation, linear motion to “crowning”, and a second
rotation to present the fetal shoulders parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vulva.
Placing the fetus in the right occipital anterior (ROA) position will result in a “nose
down” crowning followed by shoulder rotation. Placing the fetus in the left occipital
posterior (LOP) position will result in a “nose up” presentation which may require some
assistance on the part of the student or Instructor. Breech deliveries may also be
performed as detailed later in these Instructions.

Dilating Cervix

As the fetus proceeds down the birth canal it pushes against a simulated uterus/cervix. It
looks like a disc with a small hole in the center and is attached to the entrance of the birth
canal using three (3) metal snaps. The device is designed to permit considerable
distension. During delivery the presenting part dilates and swells the cervix and swells as
the fetus moves down the birth canal. At crowning the head passes through the cervix
and through the vulval insert. Students can measure birth descent and cervical dilation
which may be used to plot the progress of labor.

Leopold maneuvers using the articulating fetus

To perform Leopold Maneuvers, retract the birthing mechanism fully and remove the
articulating birthing baby. Place the elevating cushion within the birthing torso. Route
the inflation bulb outside NOELLE through any space provided on the left side. Place
the birthing baby in the elevating cushion in the vertex, breech, or transverse positions.
Install the “tummy cover”. Inflate the elevating cushion until the fetus is felt within the
abdomen.

15
Place elevating pillow within simulator

Place fetus onto elevating pillow and lift fetus anteriorly using squeeze bulb.

16
Snap abdominal cover into place.

Lift fetus anteriorly using squeeze bulb.

17
Conduct the four Leopold Maneuvers.

Normal Labor and Delivery

To conduct a delivery, remove the “tummy cover” and place the articulating birthing
baby on the birthing mechanism. Lubricate the fetal head and shoulders, plus the
inside of the vulva using water based silicone. Attach the umbilical cord to the baby,
route the cord so it does not bind in the mechanism and attach the placenta to the pelvic
cavity using the Velcro® fastener. Note that the fetus has a receptacle at the rectum into
which the matching pin located on the birthing mechanism is inserted.

Position the baby so that its head faces toward the left side of the simulator. This is the
ROA or right occipital anterior position. Note: any other position may be chosen;
however, take care that the fetal shoulders are aligned with the long axis of the vulval
insert. Caution: if the fetal shoulders are NOT aligned with the vulva, binding may
occur.

18
Remember to lubricate the inside of the vulva

Also lubricate the inside of the dilating cervix.

19
Now thoroughly lubricate the fetal head and shoulders.

Attach the umbilicus to the placenta.

20
Attach placenta to one of three positions on the abdominal wall. Orienting the
Velcro patches in parallel causes the placenta to be retained; orienting them at right
angles causes the placenta to release with modest traction.

Attach umbilicus to fetus.

21
Position the fetal arms and legs as shown

Umbilical cord can be wrapped once around the fetal neck

22
Attach fetus to birthing mechanism using one or two birthing adapters

Turn on the monitor and select a fetal heart rate from 60 to 200 beats per minute. You
may adjust the heartrate at any time during delivery to simulate episodes of bradycardia
or tachycardia. Now select one of four delivery speeds. Speed “1” is the fastest and can
be used to demonstrate a precipitous delivery. Speed “4” requires about 25 minutes to
complete. You may lengthen delivery time in any of the four speeds by pressing the
PAUSE and then RESUME button.

23
The first few centimeters of movement normally take about half the total delivery time.
Note that the baby rotates internally as it moves forward and that the baby turns after the
head is delivered and before the shoulders are delivered. The student or instructor may
help the fetal head and shoulders through the vulva as in real life. Once the shoulders
are delivered, the student can remove the baby from the mother in the normal manner.

The birthing cycle can be paused at any point and then resumed. The sound produced by
the small motor is an excellent indicator whether the fetal movement is being slowed by
undue friction. In the event the birthing baby binds in the birth canal, the mechanism will
pause and back up. It will automatically try a second time. If this occurs, remove the
abdominal cover and determine the cause. In most cases, binding can be prevented by
thoroughly lubricating the fetus, the dilating cervix and the vulva.

During delivery, fetal heart tones can be heard by placing the bell of a conventional
stethoscope on the abdomen. Move it around until the tones are clearly heard. Tones are
supplied via a small speaker which can be located in three areas depending upon the fetal
lie. The amplitude of the fetal heart tones is set at Gaumard. To adjust the amplitude, look
for a small hole on the bottom of the Birthing Controller. Insert a small screwdriver,
engage the adjusting screw and turn clockwise or counter clockwise.

26
Vacuum-assisted Delivery

Vacuum-assisted delivery is a technique for the management of arrest during the second
stage of labor. Criteria for successful delivery include: (1) cervical dilation is
complete;(2) cephalic presentation is confirmed ;(3) the fetal head is no more than 1/5
palpable above the pubic bone; (4) effective uterine contractions continue; (5) maternal
expulsive efforts continue.

Vacuum-assisted delivery may be practiced with the NOELLE simulator using a vacuum
cup supplied by a number of suppliers.

27
Lubricate the fetus supplied with NOELLE and place it onto the delivery system in the
normal ROA position. Note: NOELLE models supplied since Jan 2005 include a soft
scalp you may place over the skull providing a better vacuum seal between the fetal
head and the vacuum cup. Activate the delivery mechanism and the fetus will move
down the birth canal. Select “Pause” as soon as the cervix is fully dilated. This is before
crowning and “pausing” will stop the delivery mechanism. Insert a lubricated vacuum
cup into the vagina and place the cup onto the flexion point of the skull located between
the fontanelles. Use the manual vacuum pump supplied with such devices to cause the
attachment of the cup to the skull. Wait a few minutes for the “chignon” to form.

Vacuum assist device attached to fetal scalp between fontanelles

Await the next contraction that may be simulated by asking NOELLE to bear down, and
having the student apply steady traction perpendicular to the plane of the cup. Select the
“Resume” key, then the “Pause” key again to move the fetus slightly down the birth
canal. Some vacuum-assisted delivery devices are equipped with a means for measuring
the amount of traction which may be on the order of about 15 pounds. The student must
stop traction when the simulated contraction ceases. Repeat this procedure of waiting for
the simulated contraction and providing traction during the contraction if and only if the
fetus is moving down the birth canal with each contraction. The student may also assess
the potential need for an episiotomy to facilitate delivery. In the event delivery progress
is not being made, NOELLE must be immediately referred as a potential “C”
section candidate.

28
Shoulder Dystocia

Shoulder dystocia is a dangerous conditions defined in the NOELLE Guide as the “arrest
of delivery of the fetal body after the successful delivery of the fetal head”. It may be
characterized by the so-called “turtle-sign” wherein the fetal head moves forward and
then retracts. During dystocia, the fetal shoulders become wedged behind the symphysis.
NOELLE may be used to practice the resolution of dystocia using episiotomy techniques,
the McRobert’s maneuver, suprapubic pressure, posterior arm sweep or elbow-knee
delivery.

The McRoberts maneuver causes pelvic tilt that may

release the fetal shoulder from behind the pubic bone

Suprapubic pressure may also release the fetal shoulder

29
To demonstrate shoulder dystocia, place the fetal baby in the ROA position. Locate a
small squeeze bulb at the lower left side of NOELLE and note it is attached to an
inflatable bag near the dilating cervix. Inflate the bag using the manual squeeze bulb
noting that the fetal head and shoulders will rise toward the symphysis. Note that the fetal
head is palpable beneath the stomach cover. Activate the delivery mechanism moving the
fetus down the birth canal until the fetal head is delivered. Simulate dystocia by pausing
the delivery mechanism. Students must use the various maneuvers attempting to deliver
the baby. If the fetus can not be delivered the Instructor can press the “Resume” key
which will cause the fetus to resume it movement down the birth canal and the students
should try again. Note: NOELLE models produced after March 10, 2005 incorporate
a “fifth speed” on the controller which delivers the fetus and produces the turtle
sign”. This is followed be a three (3) minute pause during which time the students
must attempt to deliver the baby. When time expires the mechanism resumes
delivery and the students must start over.

Manual squeeze bulb expands inflatable bag beneath fetus lifting it anteriorly,
simulating locking the shoulder behind pubic bone.

Note: do not place the fetus onto the delivery mechanism in the LOA position it will
attempt to birth with its shoulders at right angles to the axis of the vulva causing
undo stress on the delivery mechanism. At any time the Instructor may completely
retract the delivery mechanism by toggling the power switch first to the “off “
position and then to the “on” position.

30
Cesarean Delivery

Cesarean birth is the delivery of the fetus through an abdominal and uterine incision A
Cesarean delivery, also called a C-section may be performed as a result of breech
presentation, pre-term or dysfunctional labor, fetal distress, prolapsed umbilical cord,
placenta previa, abruption placenta, or a variety of other abnormalities. Demonstrate a C-
section using NOELLE by removing the metal snaps just above the pubic bone and
birthing the baby between the stomach cover and the pubic bone. An optional
abdominal cover is available if the Instructor wishes to demonstrate midline or
“bikini” incisions.

cover with “bikini” incision. Specify P/N S560.029

31
Prolapse of the Umbilical Cord

Prolapse of the umbilical cord is a dangerous complication which involves the presence
of the umbilical cord in the birth canal in front of the presenting part. This condition may
occur as a result of breech presentation, transverse lies, a small fetus, an overly long cord,
a placenta placed low in the uterus, or other abnormalities.

Prolapse of the umbilical cord

If the cord is observed in the birth canal ahead of the presenting part, gloved fingers
should be inserted and the presenting part lifted off the cord to relieve pressure on the
cord. This procedure must be maintained until the prolapse has been solved, either by a
termination to the compression of the cord, or until delivery of the fetus by C-section.

Placenta Previa

Placenta previa is a condition in which the placenta is located in the lower half of the
uterus, located near or covering the cervical os. There are three types of placenta previa:
total, partial and marginal. Total placenta previa is when the placenta completely covers
the cervical os. Partial placenta previa is when the cervical os is partially covered by the
placenta. Marginal placenta previa is when the edge of the placenta extends to the
internal os, where the uterus opens into the vaginal canal.

To simulate placenta previa with NOELLE, place the placenta in the desired position to
simulate the condition, with the maternal side against the uterine wall or the cervical os.
Then place the fetus within the uterine cavity with the presenting part closest to the
placenta.

32
Total placenta previa in which the placenta completely covers
the well effaced cervical os

External Version

Version may be attempted to rotate the fetus from a breech position into one permitting
normal vertex presentation. To practice “version” remove the abdominal cover and the
fetus, retract the delivery mechanism fully and insert the inflatable cushion. Next, remove
the foam in the abdominal cover. Thoroughly lubricate the inside surface of the
abdominal cover, the fetus, and the inflatable cushion.

Place the lubricated fetus onto the lubricated inflatable cushion and snap the
lubricated abdominal cover into place. Inflate the cushion lifting the fetus
anteriorly. Inflate the cushion at the base of the pelvic cavity to position fetus.

33
Confirm the breech position and attempt to manually turn the fetus within the
uterus by transabdominal manipulation

Breech Birth

Breech birth occurs when either the buttocks or lower extremities of the fetus are the
presenting part. There are three types of breech birth: frank, complete and incomplete or
footling. Frank breech occurs when the buttocks are the presenting part and the legs of
the fetus are extended up toward the baby’s head. Complete breech occurs when the
buttocks are the presenting part and the baby’s legs are flexed along the lower torso.
Footling or incomplete breech occurs when one of both of the legs are the presenting part.

There are many differences in labor between the breech presentation and the vertex
presentation. With the descent, the posterior hip encounters the pelvic floor and internal
rotation takes place, allowing the anterior hip to move beneath the pubic arch. The
anterior hip then delivers, followed by the posterior hip, the legs and the feet. External
rotation allows the shoulders to move into the maternal pelvic and internal rotation allows
the shoulders to deliver. Downward traction allows the delivery of the anterior shoulder,
with a finger inserted into the birth canal to free the arm. Upward traction allows the
posterior shoulder to deliver and the posterior arm is freed in the same manner. After the
delivery of the shoulders, the fetal head delivers in a flexed or heads up position.

Although it is possible for a vaginal delivery of breech presentations, once a breech

presentation has been confirmed, a Cesarean is often performed to lower the risk of infant
mortality due to cord prolapse or birth asphyxia.

34
To simulate breech presentations with the NOELLE, retract the birthing mechanism fully,
remove the cover in the fetal head, insert the birthing mechanism into the fetal head using
either one or two adapters and place the fetal legs in either an extended position to
simulate “footling” delivery or retract the legs for a “frank” delivery.

Remove plug in fetal head for breech delivery

Removing plug reveals aperture for birthing mechanism

35
One way of not losing the plug is to insert it into the rectum.
Also remember to lubricate the lower torso and legs of the fetus

Attach the fetal head to the birthing mechanism using one or two adapters

36
Assisting a frank delivery

The Pinard or leg-flip maneuver frees one leg then another.

The fetal arms may also require a similar maneuver during delivery.

37
The fetal arms are delivered and the fetus rotated anteriorly to birth the head.

Delivery of the Placenta

The placenta supplied with NOELLE may be positioned so that it births spontaneously or
requires either modest cord traction or manual removal. In addition, note that the placenta
is designed with two removable placental fragments. These fragments are attached to the
body of the placenta with Velcro. You may reverse one or both fragments causing one or
both to birth with the placenta or remain affixed to the uterine wall.

Students must carefully inspect the birthed placenta to make sure it is complete and that
no fragments remain internally. If retained fragments are noted the student must retrieve
them using a gloved hand under appropriate sterile conditions.

38
Postpartum Activity

Fundal Massage

After delivery the uterus normally contracts reducing postpartum bleeding. Under certain
conditions contraction does not occur and extensive bleeding may continue. If this
condition is not recognized and treated in a timely manner the new mother may go into
shock and die. Inadequate uterine contraction may present as a “boggy” or soft uterus
assessed through abdominal palpation. Uterine contraction may be augmented using
certain drugs and/or uterine massage.

To simulate pharmacologic intervention, access NOELLE’s bilateral injection sites. To

practice uterine massage, remove NOELLE’s fully dilated vulval insert and snap the
postpartum perineal insert into place. Attach the large postpartum uterine assembly to the
distal end of the vagina using the locking ring assembly. Note that the postpartum uterine
assembly consists of a thin outer uterine skin and a smaller, harder inner uterus.

Use the squeeze bulb attached to the postpartum uterine assembly to inflate the space
between the two uteri expanding the soft external skin sufficient to simulate a “boggy”
uterine condition. Bimanual massage will cause air to leak from the thumb screw in the
squeeze bulb causing the outer skin to contract. When sufficient air is released the student
will begin to feel the harder inner uterus which simulates the well contracted postpartum
state.

Remove the vulva and cervix, and insert the uterine assembly

39
Retract the delivery mechanism, place the elevating cushion,
and insert the uterine assembly from the side shown

Snap the uterine assembly into place and use the squeeze bulb
to produce the uterine tone desired. Lift the uterus anteriorly
using the elevating pillow. The white Velcro patch on the fundus
may be used to position the uterus at various orientations
within the abdominal cavity

40
Use bimanual massage to shrink the “boggy” uterus into a smaller
and firm condition.

Episotomy Repair

Remove the fully dilated vulva used during delivery and select one of the three episotomy
repair modules. Snap a repair module into place. Use a “000” size suture and small
curved needle to repair the surgical incision or repair.

Episotomy repair modules snap into birth canal

41
“000” sized sutures are recommended
to extend the life of the repair modules

42
Section 4 - NOELLE™ Neonatal Care

The full size neonate supplied with the NOELLE S555 is a resuscitation baby having a
patent umbilicus and the ability to change color with airway ventrilation:

Realistic airway with tongue, vocal folds, trachea, and esophagus

Articulating head, neck, jaw, arms and legs
Heart, lungs, ribs, stomach and liver
Perform BVM or CPR
Conduct oral or nasal intubation plus suctioning
Crico prominence permits the Sellick maneuver
Bilateral lung expansion with realistic chest rise
Patent umbilicus

Airway Management – Be sure to treat the simulator as you would treat a real newborn
with care and consideration. Before inserting ET, NP, or OP tubes always lubricate the
distal end of the tube. Failure to do so will damage the tiny airway. When intubating we
suggest a Miller 1 blade and an uncuffed 2.5 mm ETT with appropriate stylet.

Practice BVM techniques using an “infant” sized mask having a thick seal

43
Intubate using a Miller 1 blade and well lubricated 2.5 ETT with stiffening stylet.

Color Change

The neonate has devices in its forearms and lower legs to cause the skin to turn from a
normal healthy color to a blue color indicative of peripheral cyanosis. It also has devices
in the cheeks which cause the skin to turn from a normal color to an ominous blue color
indicative of central cyanosis. These devices are controlled by a monitor that starts the
neonatal simulator in one of three selectable states: central, peripheral, or healthy. The
monitor observes ventilations and compressions performed on the neonate and
determines whether they meet or exceed conventional standards. If acceptable, the
monitor causes the skin to turn to a more healthy color; if inadequate or non-existent, the
monitor causes the skin to turn toward an ominous blue color.

The rate of improvement and deterioration is selectable and is defined as the time
between each of the three selectable states. The monitor also has a “coach” and “test”
mode. In “coach” the student will hear sounds indicating that it is the correct time for
ventilations and compressions. In “test” the sounds are silenced. The monitor also
features a visual display to see whether the rescue efforts are judged as being too high,
too low, or just right.

44
To get started attach the red chest compression and blue airway ventilation tubes to the
monitor. Attach both the cable from the neonate and the power supply to the monitor.
Switch the monitor on and observe the color of the neonate. Perform BVM or CPR in the
normal manner. The condition of the neonate will progressively worsen if appropriate
treatment is not received.

Umbilicus

The umbilicus remains patent for several hours after birth and may be used to infuse
medications in a critically ill neonate. The neonate supplied with NOELLE has a patent
umbilicus for use in such training.

The umbilicus is connected to an internal reservoir that can be filled with fluid using the
syringe provided. Students can insert a lubricated standard umbilical catheter, verify
catheter placement by removal of fluid, and add medications as needed for the training
exercise. Both the filling and drainage tube are located on the right side of the neonate.

Lubricate distal tip before inserting umbilical catheter

Section 5 – NOELLE Care and Maintenance

NOELLE 555 with Maternal/Neonatal/Perinatal Monitors HELP

Introduction

NOELLE monitors can be used as a general teaching aid or in conjunction with

the labor and delivery scenarios provided in the NOELLE Training Guide. It
allows you to generate realistic electronic fetal monitor (EFM) traces and display
simulated maternal and neonatal vital signs. Review the enclosed Software
License Agreement before proceeding.

NOELLE monitors run on two software packages using two computers connected
by a network, either through cabled or wireless Ethernet link.

Controls

56
NOELLE 555 Controls

Allows the instructor to communicate with the Maternal/Neonatal/Fetal Monitors

in order to simulate a wide range of scenarios. The user has 9 preconfigured
Scenarios explained in the NOELLE Training Guide. It also allows the user to
create new cases and save them for future use. The user can also change any
parameter from the Maternal Vitals, Neonatal Vitals or Fetal Monitor while a
scenario is under way.

Menu options :

Scenarios

The Scenario menu allows you to display the EFM and/or vital signs data
associated with each of nine preprogrammed labor and delivery scenarios. At the
same time the user is allowed to change parameters using the Traces tab and/or
the Vitals tab. The details of these scenarios are presented in the NOELLE
Training Guide. Check the Quick Reference card for a summary of the
scenarios.

Maternal/Neonatal Monitoring Controls

Both monitoring controllers for Maternal and Neonatal Vital signs are identical.

Sensors : There are seven sensors the user can turn on or off depending what
wants to be displayed. Each sensor has a On - Off button that only allows one to
be selected at a time.

- ECG : Electrocardiogram signal

- IBP : Invasive Blood Pressure (radial)
- Resp monitor : Respiration rate
- NIBP : Non Invasive Blood Pressure
- Capnography sensor : Oxygen saturation
- SpO2 : Carbon Dioxide saturation
- Thermometer : Temperature

Vitals: There are nine different options the user can modify:
- Rhythm : The user can select a specific rhythm from the drop down list, then a
second drop down menu will appear where the user can select from this drop
down menu one of the many rhythm abnormalities and in some cases a small
text box will appear next to it, to specify how many of this abnormalities should
occur within a period of time.

59
- HR : Heart Rate
- BP : Blood Pressure
- RR : Respiration Rate
- Inspiration % : The inspiration percentage at one single breathing cycle
- OSat % : Oxygen saturation in the blood
- Temperature : Body temperature

Monitor

Perinatal Monitoring Controls

The Perinatal Monitor controls allow the user to change the UA and FHR traces.
The controls are easy to use, there are drop down menus with preconfigured
values, check boxes and one scroll bar.

UA: Controls for Uterine Activity

- Leads - On/Off : Turn on or off the signal for the UA on the Labor Monitor
- Contraction Interval : time interval between contraction peaks (min)
- Contraction Duration : time interval of each contraction (sec)
- Contraction Intensity : intensity of each contraction (mmHg)
- UA Coupling: second contraction immediately after a normal contraction
- % Probability : the probability a UA coupling occurs with each normal
contraction
- % Size : the size of the second contraction with respect to the first normal
contraction

FHR: Controls for Fetal Heart Rate

- Leads - On/Off : Turn on or off the signal for the FHR on the Labor Monitor
- FHR Variability : the variability of the FHR baseline
- Accel/Deccel Intensity : the intensity each acceleration or deceleration in the
FHR
- Baseline FHR (bpm) : the average FHR at which the neonate is currently at

60
- Spontaneous Accels : random accelerations on the FHR
- Spontaneous Prolonged : random prolonged acceleration on the FHR
- Periodic Changes : accelerations or decelerations that are in correlation with
the UA
- Prolonged Decels : prolonged deceleration that is in correlation with each UA
- Mild Variable Decels : random mild variable decelerations
- Severe Variable Decels : random severe variable decelerations
- Decel shape : used to change the severe variable decelerations from a "U"
shape to a "V" shape.

NOELLE 555 Monitors

Although the monitors are controlled by the Instructor, the touch screen feature
allows the student to access pull down menus to set for example:

- alarms and their control limits

- whether the perinatal monitor or neonatal monitor is desired

Menu

The menu for the Vital Signs is a button labelled “V” at the upper left corner of the
screen. Once it is clicked a drop down menu will appear with several options:

The Vital Signs monitor includes four waveforms with numeric values.

From top to bottom the traces are:

- ECG : Electrocardiogram
- IBP : Invasive Blood Pressure (radial)
- Resp : Respiration cycle
- CO2 : Carbon Dioxide

At the top left of each trace is an identification label. At the right side is a number
representing its current value. Also at the far right of each trace is a label that
once clicked will show a drop down menu with customizable trace options.

Example Traces Menu : ECG - Menu

63
Each menu will have several options, and some of these options will expand into
other options allowing the user to customize the trace in many different aspects.

The vital signs monitors also include four numeric’s at the bottom which are:

- Temp : Temperature (it will be refreshed every minute)

- NIBP : Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (it will be refreshed every minute)
- RR : Respiration rate (works in correlation with the "CO2" trace)
- SpO2 : Oxygen saturation in blood

Temp, NIBP, RR and O2Sat each have drop down menus with customizable
options.
