Airway and breathing
Configurable airways (including tongue edema, pharyngeal swelling, laryngospasm)
Head tilt, jaw thrust and chin lift
Spontaneous breathing
Chest rise and fall
An embedded set of lungs, or Advanced Lung Module (ALM), which allows for actual exhalation.
WARNINGS
Do not use additional or supplemental oxygen that would increase O2 concentration above 21% during artificial respiration and ventilation.
Do not use any flammable or corrosive gases.
Airway interventions
The airway is anatomically modelled as far as the bronchia and can be manipulated by a learner:
Head tilt/Chin lift
Jaw thrust with articulated jaw
Cricoid pressure and manipulation
Simulated suctioning (oral and nasopharyngeal)
NOTE
For advanced ventilation training, the Advanced Lung Module (ALM) or ASL 5000 is recommended.
If the tongue fallback feature is enabled, head tilt is required to open the airways for mask ventilations.
The following information is automatically registered in the SimMan CC simulation session:
Detection of proper head position
Jaw thrust
Pneumothorax decompression
Ventilations
Stomach distension
