ATLAS THE ALS SIMULATOR P75
AIRWAY
Atlas replicates the anatomy of the airways, complete with tongue,
epiglottis, vocal cords, trachea and esophagus. Use Atlas to practice
positioning of the head, manual maneuvers to open the airway and apply
compatible aids for realistic airway management.
The airway can be opened by tilting back the head or by using the
Esmarch maneuver. Other methods to clear the airway include simulated
dry aspiration, removing inserted foreign bodies and inserting Guedel
tubes (OPA) or Wendl tubes (NPA).
When single-assistant or dual assistant bag mask ventilation (BVM) is
performed correctly on Atlas there is a visible expansion of the thorax
Nasal or oral intubation can be performed using a size 7.5 endotracheal
tube (ET). For optimal intubation, use the improved Jackson position and
the BURP maneuver. To intubate use a classic laryngoscopy, or video
laryngoscopy.
