Surgical airway
It is possible to simulate an emergency airway through the cricothyroid membrane in SimMan CC. Refer to Replacing Cricothyroid Tape and Neck Skin.
CAUTIONS
Do not put biological or other materials in the simulator’s airways.
Only use Manikin Airway Lubricant. Any other lubricant not approved by Laerdal may cause damage to the airways and lungs of the simulator.
Refer to the Important Product Information booklet for further cautions related to the Patient Simulator airway.
NOTES
In LLEAP the airway and breathing status for the current simulator is shown in a window. Settings for lung resistance, compliance, and other parameters can be made in the ALM plugin software. Refer to LLEAP Help Files, Advanced Lung Module and LLEAP IngMar-plugin software user guide for further information.
Refer to LLEAP Help Files for complete breathing and airway blockage functionality and operating information.
Incorrect positioning will pass air through oesophagus, causing distention of the abdomen.
