INTRODUCTION
The Laerdal Infant Airway Management Trainer is
mounted on mounting base, and simulates a 3 month
old infant head.
It is designed to provide the following common diag-
nosis and treatment modalities:
Airway management
- Ventilation via bag-valve-mask
- Endotracheal and nasotracheal intubation
- Bilateral lung movement and stomach distention
- Oral/Nasal Airways
- Insertion of LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway)
Getting started
Before use, perform the following preparations:
Lubrication of the airway
During this procedure, wear protective gloves
to avoid contamination.
Spray into the mouth/airway using the lubricant spray
(supplied with trainer). Also lubricate the tip of the
endotracheal tube and laryngoscope blade before
performing endotracheal or nasotracheal intubation.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Ventilation
Airway open/closed - Stomach distension
In the flexed position, with the head resting forward
onto the chest, the airways are closed. If an attempt is
made to ventilate the manikin via bag-mask between
this position and the neutral position, air will not en-
ter the lungs. If an air pressure of more than 10 mm
Hg is applied, stomach distension can be observed on
the trainer.
Head tilt
In the neutral position, the airways are open. If ventila-
ted via bag-mask in this position, air will enter the
lungs. If a too rapid ventilation is performed, causing
an air pressure in excess of 10 mm Hg, stomach dis-
tension will occur.
Hyperextension of the head/neck will not cause the
airways to close.
Jaw thrust
The trainer also allows jaw thrust to be performed.
Performed in the flexed position, the airways will
open and allow ventilation by bag-mask.
Insertion of LMA
Insertion of LMA can be practiced.
A size 1 LMA is recommended.
