Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed0-year-old girl for selective-airway-clearing recognition, observation review, reassessment, and active-risk handoff practice. About 6 simulated minutes.
What you will practise
- Activate prepared newborn, airway, and dyad support.
- Connect fluid, breathing, tone, heart rate, airway, and the whole dyad.
- Recognize vigorous meconium-stained transition without routine suction.
- Review qualified selective-airway-clearing, observation, and escalation boundaries.
- Review the fixed 30-minute qualified-team report.
- Hand off respiratory, thermal, feeding, parent, and outcome risk.
