4.1 AIRWAY
Intubation
The simulator’s airway has anatomical landmarks and can be intubated orally, nasally, and
through the trachea using an endotracheal tube, nasopharyngeal tube, or LMA.
WARNING: Always lubricate tubing prior to performing any nasal or oral intubation.
Failure to do so will make intubation very difficult and will result in damage to the
airway. Do not apply silicone or mineral oil directly into the mouth and airway.
1.
To intubate, under the "Vitals" tab,
click on "Respiratory Rate" to adjust
to zero and click "Apply Now."
2.
Lubricate the endotracheal tube with
mineral oil prior to intubation.
3.
Intubate with the recommended blade size and
endotracheal size as suggested in section 3.6.
The recommended ETT size is 3.0, no cuff.
