Neo-Wheel
Confidence During Neonatal Emergencies!
The Neo-Wheel, is a quick reference guide for calculating critical neonatal numbers in emergency situations when time is of the essence. Reflects 2021 AAP NRP guidelines. Created by international pediatric nurse expert Scott DeBoer, RN, MSN, CPEN, CEN (Ret), CFRN (Ret), EMT-P for use when caring for our tiniest patients.
The Neo-Wheel is a convenient pocket reference tool that puts crucial neonatal data at your fingertips. Volumes of vital newborn information in a slide chart that is only the size of a compact disc. The Neo-Wheel is perfect for everyday use or as a study aid. Turn the dial to select the patient’s weight on both sides and the following information appears in the windows: Resuscitation medication doses, suggested sizes for ET tubes and laryngoscope blades, as well as suction catheter, NG/OG, Foley catheter, and chest tube sizes. Weight categories range from 500gm to 5kg.
This sturdy, full-color wheel is water resistant and fits perfectly in your pocket, clipboard, drug box, or crash cart. Ideal for paramedics, nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, students, or anyone in the medical field that cares for newborns or moms (and therefore, possibly newborns.)
