SETUP
The Airway Management Trainer is ready to use upon delivery. Simply remove it from the carton and
unwrap the packaging material. The lung and stomach bags are already in place and ready to use.
LUBRICATION
Before using the Airway Management Trainer, lubricate both the simulator and supplies being used with
the Nasco lubricant provided.
(See Figures 1 & 2.)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
A. Intubating the Airway Management Trainer
Nasco recommends the use of a 7.5-8 mm endotracheal tube for oral intubation and 7.5 mm or
smaller for nasal intubation.
This simulator allows for the Sellick’s Maneuver of applying cricoid pres-
sure during intubation procedures. Ensuring the cuff is properly deflated prior to removal will prolong the
useful life of your simulator. Damage caused by improper use of the simulator will not be covered under
the warranty.
1.
Determine the method of intubation.
2.
Select the appropriate sized intubation appliance.
3.
Generously lubricate the airway and appliance.
4.
Intubate the manikin.
5.
Visualize chest rise or stomach inflation.
6.
Ensure the cuff is properly deflated before removing the appliance.
Note:
Remove all appliances prior to storage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
A. General Cleaning
Normal surface soil can be removed from the trainer with mild soapy water. Do not allow water to con-
tact electrical components. Stubborn stains may be removed with Nasco Cleaner (LF09919U). Simply
apply the Nasco Cleaner to the soiled area and wipe clean with a soft cloth.
Note:
Avoid using cleaner around the mouth and nostrils if students will be applying direct mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation techniques, as the cleaner may be toxic if ingested.

B. Cleaning the Airway Management Trainer Head
1.
Remove the head from the torso or stand using the same methods previously described. Also
remove the lungs and stomach.
2.
Take the trainer to an area with a sink and open counter space. Using the red caps supplied, plug
the right and left bronchi and the esophagus.
(See Figure 13.)
3.
Stabilize the head on the counter face-up (towels work well for this) with plugged tubes hanging
over the sink.
4.
Carefully pour warm soapy water (a mild dish soap works best) into the mouth until the water level
reaches halfway up the tongue.
5.
Tilt the head back and bring the neck up 3” off the countertop.
6.
Continue filling until the water level covers the tongue. Take a small soft brush and gently scrub the
inside of the mouth (a small toothbrush works well for this). Cotton swabs can be used to scrub
inside the nostrils.
7.
When done, pull the red cap from the esophagus and drain the water into the sink.
