MamaNatalie
Birthing Simulator
User Guide

Introduction
3
MamaNatalie is a birthing simulator that makes it easy to create very compelling
simulations of normal to more complex birthing scenarios. MamaNatalie is strapped
onto the Operator, who performs the role of the mother at the same time as manually
controlling the features.
MamaNatalie gives birth to NeoNatalie, a highly realistic newborn simulator that
facilitates effective learning of essential newborn care, including basic resuscitation
measures. NeoNatalie has realistic size and appearance, and also natural weight, feel and
touch when filled with lukewarm water.The baby’s status can be simulated as desired for
effective role playing in all relevant scenarios, from care after normal birth to treatment of
emergency situations.

Preparing for Simulation - NeoNatalie
For instructions on how to fill NeoNatalie, refer to NeoNatalie User Guide.
Fitting the Hard Skull with Fontanelles
Note
Do not tighten the strap over the airways as this will block free air flow and prevent successful
ventilations.
Detach the SimulationTubes
The Simulation Tubes are attached to the right side of NeoNatalie’s chest. Pull gently on
the Tubes to release them.
Tip
After delivering NeoNatalie, reattach the Simulation Tubes to simulate spontaneous breathing,
palpable umbilical pulse and heart beat.

For Cervix Landmark
The Cervix Ribbon allows simulating a landmark for the cervix.This can be useful, for
example when training on bimanual compressions.

Delivering NeoNatalie
Tips
• For normal delivery, push directly on NeoNatalie’s chin. Deliver the rest of NeoNatalie by
pushing onto the body.
• For easier delivery lubricate NeoNatalie’s head with a few drops of water or baby oil
before putting NeoNatalie into the Uterus.
• During delivery, manipulate NeoNatalie as in a natural birth, for example by rotating the
baby after the head is delivered. Hold NeoNatalie’s body inside the uterus, while rotating
the body as desired.
Place your thumbs
on the chin of
NeoNatalie, to
better operate
the manikin.
Open the birth canal
by gently pulling
the straps and push
NeoNatalie.
Push down on
NeoNatalie’s body.
