Nasogastric
This section pertains to TERi™ Geriatric Patient
Skills Trainer (LF04301) and TERi™ Geriatric Patient
Simulator (LF04302, LF04302EX). The simulator can
be connected for nasogastric suctioning or airway
intubation with stomach rise. The airway includes
a sinus passage to the back of the throat through
the nostrils. The esophagus leads to a stomach
reservoir bag located in the lower end of the torso.
This stomach reservoir bag is accessible by the user
for maintenance. Air insertion will cause a visual
stomach rise only when the head is connected to
the airway intubation stomach reservoir. Supported
procedures include nasal trumpet and nasogastric
tube insertion. Lavage and gavage are also
supported.
1. Ensure the
nasogastric tubing
is connected to the
nasogastric stomach
reservoir via the
(green, yellow) coded
tubes. Ensure tubing
is well attached and
adhere the tubes with
the hook and loop.
Insert the tubes back
into the torso of the
manikin and replace
the head on the torso.
(See Figure 16).
2. Lubricate nasogastric
devices and supplies
being used with the
Pump Spray Lubricant
provided (See Figure
17). NG tubes should
be well lubricated
and force should not
be used when placing
the tube through the
sinus canal.

reservoir bags emptied
after every use.
Accessing Lung
Bag and Stomach
Bag for Cleaning or
Replacement
1. To remove lung
bags disconnect
four snaps on the
neck skin and pull
neck skin away from
two rivets in front of
neck. Roll the skin
down from the neck
to change the lung
bags (See Figure 18).
2. To remove the
stomach reservoir.
Remove legs. Roll
the skin up from the
pelvis (See Figures
19 and 20). Ensure
the bag is clean and
dry prior to storing
it back inside the
torso.

3. Wipe any residual lubricant from the site with
warm water and
a soft cloth prior to storing the manikin.
Note: Use Nasco Healthcare’s Pump Spray
Lubricant to lubricate airway devices before use.
