CTGi vs NeoRate

CTGi provides an economical, highly advanced and realistic fetal heart rate monitor simulation package. Using just two iPads, the lightness and simplicity of CTGi makes it ideal for in-situ training. CTGi gives facilitators a great tool for training and students an incredibly realistic platform to learn from. CTGi offers obstetric simulation as you’ve never seen it before, built off technology you use every day.

NeoRate is a newborn resuscitation training App for healthcare professionals to use during simulated training. It provides novel timers: 1. Visual timer to improve the accuracy of heart assessment, and the time taken to do this. 2. A 2s metronome timer for 3:1 cardiac compressions during simulation. 3. A vital signs timer to estimate common physiological rates. There are training zones and videos with descriptions on how to use the App and compare your technique with commonly used techniques during simulation allowing the user to see which method works best for them. During simulations with over 150 newborn healthcare professionals the timers have demonstrated more accurate heart rate assessment, faster assessment times and more compliant 3:1 CPR. No additional equipment is required and the App can be used during simulations to explore if it works for you. NeoRate is free to use and was supported by the University of Nottingham, Surepulse and Chiesi Foundation during the development. We welcome feedback at neorateapp@gmail.com
