About the Simulator…
The Life/form
® Airway Management
Trainer, “Airway Larry”, is the most real
istic simulator available for the training
of intubation and other airway manage
ment skills.
This particular trainer has been specially
designed to build students’ confidence
and expertise with an easy-to-use model,
while still providing a realistic intubation
experience.
NASCO has taken great care to create
an airway management trainer that 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 cords, trachea,
esophagus, self-deflating lungs, and
stomach.
NASCO’s “Airway Larry” allows you
to practice oral, digital, and nasal
intubation. E.T., E.O.A., PTL
®
, and
Combitube
®
insertion can all be prac
ticed as well (please see section titled
“Using the Combitube
®
”). Suction tech
niques and proper cuff inflation can also
be performed and evaluated.
In addition, this model also allows stu
dents to apply cricoid pressure dur
ing 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.
The Airway Management Trainer head
can be detached from the training stand
and placed on
