Usage Of The Manikin - Ambu Airway Man I Manual De Instrucciones

5.6 Battery placement (only Airway Man W) ⑥
The battery compartment is placed on the backside of the manikin. Depress the catch to
open (6.1) and remove the lid. Place the batteries inside the battery holders and close the lid.
NOTE: Take care that the batteries are place correctly in the battery holders and the
polarity is correctly.
5.7 Power supply (optional for Airway Man W) ⑥
Optional the manikin can be powered using a universal external AC/DC adapter (output
9 V / 1,5 A) with a straight connection plug (5,5x2,1x12 mm). The connector can be
connected to the socket place inside the battery compartment, see 6.2.

6. Usage of the manikin

6.1 Ventilation ⑦
The manikin is not supplied with a hygienic system, as normally a resuscitator is used.
Mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose ventilation must therefore not be performed.
Ventilation can be performed by using a resuscitator with mask (7.1), ventilation through an
endotracheal tube (7.2) or other modern airway management devices.
Correct ventilation makes the manikin's chest raise and fall. When doing bag/mask
ventilation there is a possibility for stomach inflation, which causes the manikin's stomach to
rise. This happens if the ventilation is too fast, the volume is too high or if the head is not
tilted correctly. As in real-life situations, ventilating through the intubation tube eliminates
the risk of stomach inflation if the tube is correctly placed.
6.2 Intubation
The manikin can be intubated through the mouth (oral intubation). Intubation through the
nose (nasal intubation) is not possible.
The intubation can be performed with modern airway management devices like ET-tube
(8 mm I.D. endotracheal tube is recommended), supraglottic airway or Combitube etc.
TM
The insertion of the laryngoscope and endotracheal tube is to be made very carefully as if it
was a real patient. It is important to grease the tongue part from the oral cavity down to the
white stripes simulating the vocal chords using the accompanying water-soluble lubricating
gel and lubricate as often as the tongue part feels dry. Do not pour lubricating gel down the
tongue parts but grease the parts with a thin layer of lubricating gel. Furthermore, it is
important also to grease the tracheal tube and laryngoscope well with lubricating gel.
