“Airway Larry” Airway Management Trainer with Stand is a realistic simulator available
for the training of intubation and other airway management skills. The airway management trainer is
anatomically correct in respect to both size and detail. Landmarks include nostrils, teeth, tongue, oral
and nasal pharynx, larynx, cricoid ring, epiglottis, arytenoid, false and true vocal cords, trachea, and
esophagus.
Nasco’s “Airway Larry” allows you to practice oral, digital, and nasal intubation. E.T., E.O.A., P.T.L.®,
L.M.A., E.G.T.A., Combitube®, and King System insertion can all be practiced as well. Suction techniques
and proper cuff inflation can also be performed and evaluated.
In addition, this model also allows students to apply cricoid pressure during the intubation procedure
(Sellick’s Maneuver). By locating the larynx and depressing the cricoid ring, the student may realistically
lower the vocal cords farther into the field of view. This also effectively closes off the esophagus of the
simulator.

Now pick the head up, hold it in a vertical position,
and pull the caps from the bronchi to completely
empty the system.
(See Figure 14.)
9.
Rinse the airway, following the same procedure
used to clean, with warm tap water only. Repeat
this process until all the soap has been flushed from
the system.
C. Disinfecting the Airway
To disinfect, repeat the standard cleaning procedure with a bleach solution, as specified by the Centers
for Disease Control.
1.
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.
2.
Once completely filled with the bleach solution, allow the head to sit for at least 10 minutes.
3.
Drain as previously described and repeat the rinsing process to flush out all of the bleach solution.
Set the head aside and allow it to air dry completely prior to next use or storage.
CAUTIONS
•
Do not place simulator in contact with any printed paper or plastic. The ink will transfer and cause
an indelible stain. Similar inks, such as ballpoint pen, will also cause an indelible stain.
•
Do not use Nasco Cleaner (LF09919U) around the nose or mouth of the simulator. The cleaner
may be toxic if ingested.
•
Properly lubricate the Airway Management head and intubation appliances.
•
Use only Nasco Pump Spray Lubricant (LF03644U) with this simulator. Other lubricants, such as
silicone oil, may cause damage to the airway of the simulator.
•
Ensure intubation appliances are used accordingly. Improper use of intubation appliances could
damage the airway of the simulator. Damage to the airway will require the product to be returned
to Nasco for repair.
