Advanced Child Airway Management Trainer allows you to practice oral, digital, and
nasal intubation. 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. and works best as a replacement
head on a full manikin or trainer with stand.
LIST OF COMPONENTS
•
Advanced Airway Management Trainer Head
•
8-oz. Pump Spray Lubricant
•
2 Syringes (20 cc)
•
3 Red Caps
TONGUE SWELLING
Pull back the plunger of a 20 cc syringe and attach
it to the yellow stopcock.
(See Figure 3.)
Depress
the plunger to force approximately 10 cc of air into
the system. Close the tubing port at the stopcock
to maintain the pressure. The syringe may then be
removed without loss of pressure.
Caution:
Do not overinflate! Excessive pressure
may rupture the system. Stop inflation when
resistance is felt or the larynx is observed to close.
Always release the pressure when finished training
by opening the tubing port at the stopcock.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean the Airway Management Trainer, stabilize the head on the counter face-up (towels work well for
this) with the tubes hanging over the sink. Carefully pour warm soapy water (a mild dish soap works best)
into the mouth until the water level reaches halfway up the tongue. Now tilt the head back and bring the
neck up off the countertop.
Continue filling until the water level covers the tongue. At this point, 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. When done, drain the water into the sink. Now pick the head up and hold it in a vertical
position to completely empty the system.
RINSING THE AIRWAY
To rinse the airway, follow the same procedure using clean, warm tap water. Repeat this process until all
the soap has been flushed from the system.
DISINFECTING THE AIRWAY
To disinfect, repeat the standard cleaning procedure, but this time use a bleach solution instead of soapy
water, as specified by the Centers for Disease Control. Fill the system with the solution until it reaches the
corners of the mouth. Remember to start filling with the head flat and finish with the neck slightly elevated
to ensure that the solution completely fills all airway passages. Once completely filled with the bleach
solution, allow the head to sit for at least 10 minutes. Capping the airway with the supplied red caps will
hold the fluid in the simulator. Drain as described earlier and repeat the rinsing process to flush out all the
bleach solution. Set the head aside and allow it to dry completely.
CLEANING THE FACE
Normal soil can be removed from the face of the trainer with mild soapy water. Nasco Cleaner
(LF09919U) will remove stubborn stains. Simply apply Nasco Cleaner to the soiled area and wipe clean
with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Note:
Do not use Nasco Cleaner around the mouth and nostrils, as the residue of the cleaner could
be toxic.
Caution:
Never place the trainer on any kind of printed paper or plastic. These materials will transfer
indelible stains. Ballpoint pens will also make indelible stains. Do not use any cosmetics.
IMPORTANT — STORAGE OF YOUR SIMULATOR
The unit must be stored as you received it to avoid damaging the simulator.

LUBRICATION
Before using the
Life

form
®
Advanced Child Airway Man-
agement Trainer, lubricate both the tube and airway with the
pump spray lubricant provided.
(See Figure 1.)
Please Note:
Nasco recommends the use of the provided
lubricant or a similar vegetable-based lubricant for the
Advanced Child Airway Management Trainer. The use of a
silicone-based or similar lubricant may cause damage to the
simulator, thus voiding Nasco’s warranty on the trainer.
PALPABLE CAROTID PULSE
Provided squeeze bulb can be used to manually simulate a bilateral carotid pulse.
LARYNGOSPASM
Pull back the plunger of a 20 cc syringe and attach it to the red stopcock.
(See Figure 2.)
Depress the
plunger to force 1-5 cc of air into the system. Close the tubing port at the stopcock to maintain the pres-
sure within the larynx. The syringe may then be removed without loss of pressure.
