ABOUT THE SIMULATOR
The

®
Child Airway Management Trainer Head is the most realistic simulator available for
the training of intubation and resuscitation skills. Nasco has taken great care to create a trainer that is
anatomically correct in respect to both size and detail.
Landmarks include nostrils, teeth, tongue, oral and nasal pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, arytenoids, false
and true vocal cords, cricoid ring, tracheal rings, trachea, esophagus, lungs, and stomach.
The

Child Airway Management Trainer Head allows you to practice oral, digital, and nasal
intubation, as well as CPR. Suction techniques can also be performed and evaluated. The simulator was
designed to use an uncuffed endotracheal tube measuring up to 5.0 mm I.D.

LUBRICATION
Before using the
Life
/
form
®
Child Airway Management Trainer, lubricate both the oral cavity and the
endotracheal tube with the pump spray lubricant provided.
(See figure 1.)
Note:
Nasco recommends the use of the provided lubricant or a similar vegetable-based lubricant for the
Child Trainer. The use of a silicone-based or similar lubricant may seriously damage the simulator, thus
voiding Nasco’s warranty on the trainer.
CLEANING THE FACE
Normal soil can be removed from the face with mild soapy water. Nasco Cleaner (LF09919U) will
remove stubborn stains. Simply apply Nasco Cleaner to soiled area and wipe clean with a soft cloth or
paper towel.
Note:
Avoid using cleaner around mouth area if students will be applying direct mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation techniques, as the cleaner may be toxic if ingested. NEVER place the trainer on any
kind of printed paper or plastic. These materials, as well as ballpoint pens, will transfer indelible stains.
Do not use any cosmetics.

The bones have been designed so all four sides can be punctured. To change sides, carefully remove
the bone from the leg and wipe clean. Remove a small piece of wax (provided) and work with your
fingers until soft. Rub the wax piece back and forth across the bone holes until they are sealed.
(See
figure 4.)
A thin layer of wax left on the bone surface over the holes will help in sealing. Finish by
applying a thin film of Nasco lubricant over the whole bone. Turn the bone 90° and reinsert into the
leg.
(See figure 5.)
Do this until all four sides of the bone structure have been punctured, at which
time the bone can be discarded.
Special Note:
The Intraosseous Infusion Leg duplicates a procedure that requires a great deal of pres-
sure to be placed on both the simulator and the needle being used. Extreme caution should be taken to
avoid pushing the needle completely through the simulator, injuring the person performing the proce-
dure. Nasco cannot be responsible for injuries resulting from improper use of the simulator.

Connect the end of the tubing to the bone piece. Apply
liquid lubricant to the entire bone, and slide into posi-
tion in the leg.
(See figure 3.)
IMPORTANT
5.
Make your first needle insertion into the bone and
remove the needle stylus. Proper insertion and pressure
applied to the syringe will allow “blood” to flow through
the tubing and fill the bone. When you observe “blood”
flowing up through the needle, the bone is completely
charged. Each new bone will need to be charged in
this same manner. Correct subsequent insertions will
produce an immediate flow of fluid through the needle.
To reduce the pressure being placed on the bone, pull
the plunger on the syringe back once verification of
the placement has been made. This will decrease the
amount of “blood” that may leak from the bone.
