“Preemie Patrick has realistic internal organs, there is separation between abdomen and thoracic cavities to allow for abdominal distension and an inlet into the abdomen which allows for air or fluid to be inserted.
Starship clinicians from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Anaesthesia, Surgery and the Starship Operating Rooms recognised the need for team training in providing care to these fragile neonates and created a scenario of Fulminant Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) requiring Laparotomy in NICU.
This scenario required a surgical manikin with specific features including discoloured section of abdominal wall and bowel. Premmie Patrick cannot be intubated but he does oscillate well, so he commences the scenario with an ETT in place and is oscillated. “

”We used the model last week for a run through sim. It was excellent and felt realistic. Are you looking to sell these worldwide? They are excellent and definitely have a role for sim team training.”

- Patrick can be washed under the hot tap and cleaned with alcohol if needed.
- Don’t immerse the baby in water as it will fill up the lungs.
