2. Airway Simulation Features
Opening the Airway
The neck of Newborn Anne manikin is realistically flexible, from
hyperextension to flexion. The simulation team members may
demonstrate correct head position for opening of the airway.
Clearing the Upper Airway
Simulated meconium may be suctioned from the Newborn
Anne manikin's mouth and nose with a suction catheter (see
page 11).
When using the meconium module, the simulation team
members can assume that there is meconium in the trachea, in-
stigating proper procedures for aspiration of meconium matter.
The head can be turned to the side as normal.
Clearing the Lower Airway
One can dry simulate removal of meconium from the
Newborn Anne manikin's mouth and trachea by laryngoscopy,
using a suction catheter to clear the mouth.
Securing the Airway
The Newborn Anne manikin's neck, jaw and airway are
modeled to enable a normal newborn intubation scenario. The
airway can be intubated either by direct laryngoscopy (straight
blade size #1 recommended) and an uncuffed ET tube (size ID
3.5 mm recommended), or with the LMA (size #1 recomm-
ended).
Nasal intubation can be done.
NOTE: Lubricate the ET tube or LMA with provided Airway Lubricant be-
fore insertion.
