Realistic Upper Airway
The upper airway of the manikin is designed to allow for intubation and laryngoscopy. Oral
intubation can be performed using a variety of airway devices, including LMAs, endotracheal tubes
and oropharyngeal airways.
Sensors detect right mainstem intubation, and the action is recorded in the Events log of the
Simulation Session. In addition, the simulator exhibits a right unilateral chest rise, and the
appropriate physiological changes result.
Note: The first breath must be delivered in order for the sensors to detect or record right mainstem
intubation.
For supported airway adjunct and clinical supply sizes, see Recommended
Clinical Supply Sizes.
IMPORTANT: Airways can be damaged by improper insertion of an airway adjunct (e.g. endotracheal
tube). To protect the airway, lubricate the adjunct prior to insertion using the cottonseed oil spray
provided.
Use ONLY the provided cottonseed oil to lubricate the adjunct. NEVER use a water-based
lubricant because of resulting residue damage.
