Inspect the Airway
The manikin is equipped with an anatomically accurate airway that supports the practice of various
airway management techniques. In the process of performing these techniques improperly or
aggressively, the upper airway can be damaged. While such damage may be readily apparent
(manifested as a leak in the breathing circuit) when the simulator is connected to a ventilator, it may
not be obvious during spontaneous or bag and mask ventilation.
Because damage can occur, occasional visual inspection of the airway is recommended. Using the
light of a laryngoscope blade or a flashlight, visually examine both the upper and lower airway. While
tears in the upper airway resulting from intubation may be obvious, needle holes in the lower
bronchi may not be readily apparent.
If damage to the airway is found, small cuts or tears may be reparable. However, for permanent
repair of damaged simulators contact CAE Customer Service.
