Realistic oral and nasal intubation trainer.

In securing an airway, endotracheal intubation requires the highest skills and is accompanied by risks. This intubation simulator by Sakamoto provides exceptionally good and realistic intubation training, allowing emergency medicine students to:

• Acquire both the skill of oral and nasal tracheal intubation.
• Acquire the skill of handling supraglottic airway devices (e.g. laryngeal mask airway, oesophageal gastric tube airway).
• Confirm left and right air sound with a stethoscope
• Determine ventilation of one lung
• Determine accidental oesophageal intubation
• Usage of the laryngoscope and training of securing airways can be trained almost like on a living body
• Neck flexion and head extension
• Advancement of the mandible

The Airway Management Trainer features a tongue, epiglottis and pharynx which are reproduced realistically, with the tongue and mouth made of soft material. The front teeth (upper four) are made to break when pressure is exerted incorrectly and the teeth are used as a fulcrum while using a laryngoscope.

Determining incorrect intubation is also possible. When intubation and ventilation were carried out correctly, this is shown by simultaneous rising of the left and right chest. When only one lung is ventilated, the error is shown in that only one side will rise. When the tracheal tube has been mistakenly intubated into the oesophagus and air is sent, the abdomen will rise (stomach inflation), making it possible to determine the error. Parts of the model are purposefully made to be damaged if handled roughly.

Accessories that come with the Airway Management Trainer: 3 teeth, silicon oil, carrying case.
