Cleaning and Maintenance
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, pull the plug from the
esophagus and drain into the sink.
Now pick the head up, hold it in a
vertical position, and pull the plug
from the trachea to completely
empty the system. (See figure 7.)
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 fin-
ish 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.
Drain as described earlier and repeat
the rinsing process to flush out all
of the bleach solution. Set the head
aside and allow it to dry completely.
Using the Combitube
®
Thoroughly read and follow the instruc-
tions that come with the Combitube
®
.
The trainer will accept either a full size
or a small adult tube. As with a live
patient, it may be necessary to back
the tube out slightly if ventilation can-
not be established.
Note: Depending on tube placement,
the large cuff may not accept the rec-
ommended amount of air. In this case,
simply inflate the cuff to its maximum
volume (when the plunger stops),
detach the syringe from the blue pilot
balloon, and proceed.
