Laerdal Airway Management Trainer - Manual (Page 2)

The Laerdal Airway Management Trainer is mounted
on a practice board and stored in a carrying case.
The following equipment is provided:
1. Sanitation kit:
a) Container w/lid
b) Compresses (10 ea)
c) Syringe (60 ml)
d) Cleaning pump assembly w/triple connector
2. Concentrated simulated vomit (150 grams)
3. Airway lubricant
4. Airway anatomy demonstration model
Applications
The Laerdal Airway Management Trainer realistically
simulates a non-anesthetized patient. It can be used
to demonstrate and practice intubations, ventilation,
suction and bronchoscopy.
Intubation
Complete training in all intubation procedures,
including preoxygenation, can be practiced:
- tracheal (oral and nasal)
- pharyngeal (oral and nasal)
- esophageal
- bronchial – with optional bronchial tree
Use lubricant on tube and in airway before inserting
tube. C
Crriiccooiid d p prreessssu urree can be used realistically to
facilitate tube insertion and prevent regurgitation of
stomach contents.
Laryngospasm can be simulated by instructor using a
syringe with slide lock on the connection tubing.
Press on syringe piston to simulate laryngospasm.
Maintain spasm using slide lock.
Vomiting can be simulated. See instructions for
simulated stomach contents on bottle.
See instructions under “Suction” for filling stomach
and inducing unexpected vomiting.
Excessive laryngoscope pressure on upper teeth is
signalled by an audio signal.
Proper tube placement can be checked by:
- visual inspection of lung expansion during
ventilation
- auscultation of breathing sounds via built-in
diaphragms
- spontaneous breathing can be simulated by
rhythmically squeezing and releasing lungs.
The audible movement of air helps intubator
locate tube position
- bronchoscopic evaluation of tip position
The airway anatomy demonstration model features
realistic details and can be used to train recognition
of landmarks. Suitable for demonstrating cricoid
pressure.
