Laerdal 2 Nursing Kelly
Introduction
Nursing Kelly is a full-body, lifelike manikin designed to teach skills from
basic patient handling to advanced nursing, including the measurement of
noninvasive blood pressure and the auscultation and recognition of normal and
abnormal heart, lung and bowel sounds when used with the SimPad System .
The manufacturing quality of this simulator should provide many sessions of
training when reasonable care and maintenance are practiced .
Laerdal Recommends
IV Injections – 22 gauge needle, or smaller
Tracheostomy Tube – Size 6
NG Tube – Size 16 French
Endotracheal Tube – 7 .5 or smaller
Laryngoscope Blade - Size #4, straight or curved
Urethral Catheter – 16 French
Enema Simulation – 7 mm
Teeth
To remove: Grasp firmly and lift .
Insert and remove bottom teeth first when performing denture care .
To reinsert both sets:
a . Begin on one side and work around, aligning ridges with corresponding
grooves in jaws . (Dusting with baby powder is helpful .) (Photo 1)
b . Press firmly into place .
Carotid Pulse
To generate a carotid pulse, use the hand held bulb located on the right
axillary side of manikin . Firmly squeeze bulb while palpating for pulse at
carotid site .
Tracheostomy Plug
The Tracheostomy plug may be removed by grasping firmly, then lifting up
and out . To replace, press into trach opening .
Tracheostomy Care
1 . Mix solution of 1/2 cup mild liquid detergent and 1/2 cup water .
2 . Remove lungs .
3 . Pour mixture into simulated lungs .
4 . Fill lungs to a level where suction catheter will pick up mixture .
5 . Reattach lungs at connector .
The consistency of the solution approximates the mucus normally
suctioned in a tracheostomy patient .
We recommend a size 6 tracheostomy tube . Opening will
accommodate other sizes, but a size 6 is usually most suitable .
Drain, rinse, and air-dry lungs immediately after each use.
Be careful not to introduce fluids into speaker ports or near electronics in
manikin’s chest .
NG Tube Placement
This manikin features an esophagus and stomach reservoir for practice of
NG tube insertion and skills such as Lavage and Gavage .
For best results, lubricate the tube with manikin lubricant
prior to NG or OG tube insertion .
Intubation
The following equipment is recommended:
a . Endotracheal tube, size 7 .5 ID or smaller
b . Manikin Lubricant spray
c . 10 ml syringe
d . Laryngoscope blade, size #4 straight or curved
e . Laryngoscope handle
f . NG Tube, size 16 French
Remove trach plug prior to insertion of intubation tubes .
Intubation tubes and airway passages should be sprayed with
manikin lubricant spray prior to intubation .
Chest Plate
To remove:
1 . Apply pressure to center of plate .
2 . Work your fingers under edge of plate while lifting .
To insert:
1 . Position plate over cavity .
2 . Work plate edges into groove on torso cavity .
Lungs
Lungs may be removed from bronchial tubes by unscrewing them at the
connector site . To replace, reverse procedure .
Stomach Reservoir
The stomach reservoir attaches to esophagus with a connector . Unscrew
reservoir from esophagus to fill or drain .
Belly Plate with Sounds
To remove:
1 . Apply pressure to center of plate .
2 . Work your fingers under edge of plate while lifting .
3 . Disconnect bowel sound speaker connector to release plate .
