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.
Lack of lubrication can destroy the parts, especially the tongue part, but can also
disconnect the face piece from the tongue part. The face piece and the tongue
part can be cleaned with a cloth moistened with water.
Silicone oil or Silicone spray must not be used as the parts can become sticky and
almost impossible to clean. The user must not remove the face piece. Disassembly
should only take place during service or repair.
Different airway management devices i.e. Laryngeal Mask or Combitube® can also
be used on the Ambu Airway Man.
Correct ventilation makes the Ambu Airway Man's chest raise and fall. When
doing bag/mask ventilation there is a possibility for stomach inflation, which
causes the Ambu Airway Man'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.
The carotid pulse can be felt on both sides of the larynx during chest compression,
or simulated manually by the instructor.
6. Cleaning of skull, neck and body
The skull, neck and body of the Ambu Airway Man should be wiped over with a
cloth moistened in a mild detergent and then wiped over once more using a cloth
moistened in clean water.
When washing, never allow detergent or water to enter the skull, body or instru-
ment unit. If necessary, cover the connection between body and instrument unit
with a cloth.
