Using the Combitube
®
Thoroughly read and follow the
instructions that come with the
Combitube
®
. The trainer will accept
either a full-size or a small adult tube.
As with a live patient, it may be nec-
essary to back the tube out slightly if
ventilation cannot be established.
Note: Depending on tube placement,
the large cuff may not accept the rec-
ommended 100 ml of air. If so, simply
inflate the cuff to its maximum vol-
ume (when the plunger stops). While
holding the plunger down, detach the
syringe from the blue pilot balloon,
and proceed.
Removing the Head from
the Stand
To remove the head from the stand,
the lungs and stomach bag must first
be removed. Do this by sliding each
lung out from the connector fitting
and removing the clamp that holds
the stomach in place. (See Figure 3.)
Next, turn the head slightly to the side
to align the keyways with the slots,
and pull the head from the stand.
(See Figure 4.)
To remount the head on the stand,
simply reverse this procedure.
Attaching the Head to the
Manikin
As explained earlier, This Advanced
Airway Management Trainer has
the ability to be attached to both
CPARLENE
®
and modular type brand
manikins. To do this first remove the
lung and stomach bags if they are
attached to the trainer.
Next, turn the head face down and
begin inserting it at the shoulders. Tip
the head upward slightly until the two
keyways on the back of the neck slide
under the ring and into the top of the
torso. (See Figure 5.)
Please Note
:
Nasco Healthcare recom-
mends the use of the provided lubricant or
a similar vegetable-based lubricant for the
Airway Management Trainer. The use of a
silicone-based lubricant may cause dam-
age to the simulator, thus voiding Nasco
Healthcare’s warranty on the train
er.
