Realistic Upper Airway
The upper airway of Lucina is designed to allow for intubation and laryngoscopy. Oral intubation can
be performed using a variety of airway devices, including LMAs, endotracheal tubes and
oropharyngeal airways.
Sensors detect right mainstem intubation, and the action is recorded in the Events log and in the
Simulation Session. In addition, the simulator exhibits a right unilateral chest rise, and the appropriate
physiological changes result.
NOTE: The first breath must be delivered in order for the sensors to detect or record right mainstem
intubation.
For supported airway adjunct and clinical supply sizes, see Recommended Clinical Supply Sizes.

IMPORTANT: Airways can be damaged by improper insertion of an airway adjunct (e.g.
endotracheal tube). To protect the airway, lubricate the adjunct prior to insertion using the
cottonseed oil spray provided.
Use ONLY the provided cottonseed oil to lubricate the adjunct. NEVER use a water-based lubricant
because of resulting residue damage.
