Respiratory System
The Luna manikin includes respiratory features that allow learners to practice basic assessment and
life support skill sets. With the manikin, learners can:
• Perform intubation and procedural suctioning
• Recognize and resolve right mainstem intubation
• Perform needle decompression
• Perform chest tube insertion
• Recognize cyanosis
• Maintain tracheostomy site
Respiratory System Controls
Luna uses both physical and mathematical models to achieve an extremely accurate simulation of
respiration. Luna’s chest rises and falls, mimicking inspiration and expiration. Luna’s lungs also react
realistically to intubation as well as to pathophysiologic states.

Software Control Manual Control
Spontaneous
Breathing
Normal tidal breathing and
pathophysiological conditions such
as atelectasis, pneumothorax,
asthma and COPD.
None required, but
adjustable.
VIEW: Respiratory
None required.
Pneumothorax
or Hemothorax
Increase in intrapleural volume,
leading to asymmetrical breathing.
None required, but
adjustable.

CONTROL:
Intrapleural
Volume (Left or
Right)
None required.
Chest Excursion Synchronized with manual
ventilation, spontaneous or positive
pressure ventilation. Excursion
depth proportional to tidal volume.
None required, but
adjustable.
None required.
Lung Sounds Normal and abnormal lung sounds
are independently synchronized
with ventilation of the right and left
lungs. Lung sounds can be
auscultated over anterior anatomic
locations.
None required, but
adjustable.

None required.
