Clinical Features
If the patient suffers from insufficient breathing the animation remains
blue.
Note that the airway/breathing settings can be altered by clicking
on the relevant area of the airway/breathing animation.
When the mouse is hovered over the animation, the clickable areas
become highlighted in grey and tooltip help is provided.
2 - Preset
Select one of the following from the dropdown menu:
− Normal
− Can’t intubate / can ventilate
− Can’t intubate / can’t ventilate
3 - Right Lung Resistance
Select from 4 resistance levels from 0(Normal) - 3 (Extreme).
4 - Left Lung Resistance
Select from 4 resistance levels from 0(Normal) - 3 (Extreme).
5 - Total Lung Compliance
To set compliance for both lungs: select one of the 4 compliance
levels 0(Normal) - 3 (Extreme).
Note: The lung compliance function cannot be changed while the
manikin is being actively ventilated.
6 - Allow Stomach Distention
Check or uncheck the box to activate stomach distention or uncheck
the box to allow trapped air to exit.
7 - Exhale CO
2
Check or uncheck the box to enable or disable CO
2
exhalation.
(Requires connection to an external CO
2
reservoir)
8 - Tongue Fallback
Check the box to simulate tongue fallback. Uncheck the box to
disable this function. Tongue fallback symptoms will occur unless the
head is tilted back or jaw thrust maneuver is applied.
Breathing Features
The SimMan3G can simulate spontaneous breathing:
Warning: Do not ventilate the manikin with oxygen enriched air or
flammable gasses.
Caution: Do not ventilate manikin lungs using humidified air.
− Bilateral and unilateral chest rise and fall
− There are 4 compliance settings, from normal to extremely stiff
− There are 4 settings for airway resistance, from normal to
extremely tight.
− Normal and abnormal breath sounds
− 5 anterior auscultation sites and 6 posterior auscultation sites
− Unilateral, bilateral and lobar breath sounds
− Oxygen saturation and phlethysmogram
− Cyanosis - indicated by blue lights on the lips
− CO

Note: Lungs are not intended for use with PEEP-valves.
Pneumothorax
Tension pneumothorax with
needle decompression can be
performed at bilateral mid
clavicle line, 2nd intercostal
space. The pneumothorax
bladders may be pierced +/-10
times, the pressure inside the
bladder will drop after repeated
puncturing.
