Laerdal Newborn Anne User Manual
Page 10
The "sniffing" position aligns the trachea for the best view of
the glottis and vocal cords when properly using a laryngoscope.
Cricoid pressure may be used by the simulation team member.
The Newborn Anne manikin jaw is realistically hinged and
flexible, for airway and intubation maneuvers.
The Newborn Anne manikin vocal cords are realistically shaped
and at a depth of 9.5 cm from the upper lip. If the ET tube is
inserted too far, it will pass into the right main bronchus, giving
only right side chestrise during positive-pressure ventilation.
An ET tube may be secured by means suitable for a neonate.
Tape residues should be cleaned off the skin with soap and
water.
Oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airways suitable for neonat-
es may be used.
Detection of Esophageal Intubation
If the esophagus is intubated instead of the trachea, the abdom-
en will then visibly distend for each positive-pressure ven-
tilation.
Stomach ventilation is detectable with the stethoscope.
