To replicate a needle cricothyrotomy:
1. Spray the silicone oil spray onto the airway adjunct prior to the simulation session. To
prevent damage to the simulator, always lubricate the airway prior to each simulation.
2. Locate the simulated cricothyroid membrane sealed with tape underneath the neck skin.
3. Follow standard clinical techniques and palpate to find the cricothyroid space.
4. Puncture the space through the neck skin of the patient simulator and into the tape
“membrane.” This puncture penetrates all the way through to the “trachea,” simulating the
clinical procedure.
Needle Cricothyrotomy
5. Users must replace the tape that simulates the cricothyroid membrane after each
cricothyrotomy.
Note:
º When ventilating through a surgical airway, the Laryngospasm feature must be
deactivated in the Maestro software, or the chest rise is not observed.
º When finished using the Cricothyrotomy feature, remove the red tape and use alcohol
to clean the glue residue from the surface. Allow to dry.
