Hi colleagues - many of you will be familiar with nicutools.org neonatal calculators. My new project is a synchronous, multi-participant, instructor-led team simulation in a free browser tool available at neosim.nicutools.org

You can set up a virtual neonatal resus case and invite your trainees into the "sim lab" where they can prepare equipment, discuss team roles, then in real time resuscitate the virtual manikin which responds in a life-like fashion to their interventions. T-piece ventilation, intubation, UVC, adrenaline, red cells, needle thoracotomy and more are all modelled.

You as teacher / instructor can adapt the sim to suit your teaching requirements and flex the manikin's response mid-sim as you need to support learning. There is a comprehensive debrief timeline provided post sim.

Initial user feedback is very positive and is helping with on-going improvements to the project. If you have any trainees interested in the idea of study into the educational value of this specific tool I would be very keen to hear from you as well.

Seems like a fantastic project! Will share in our clinical teams and try out.

It looks very interesting and promising for online training...
Today I have a class on advanced resuscitation with final-year medical students and we're going to explore this alternative together ...

Thank you,
