Usage Of The Manikin - Ambu Cardiac Care Trainer System W Manual De Instrucciones

The values shown, approximately 6 N/mm (0,6 kg/mm) and 11 N/mm (1,1 kg/mm), indicate
the force, which must be applied to compress the chest by 1 mm.
Example: Compressing the chest by 40 mm at the 'LOW' setting, a force of approximately
240 Newton (24 kg) must be applied.
The normal setting is 'MEDIUM' corresponding to approximately 8,5 N/mm (0,85 kg/mm).
5.4 Battery placement ⑤
The battery compartment is placed on the backside of the manikin. Depress the catch to
open (5.1) 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.
5.5 Power supply (optional) ⑤
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 5.2.

6. Usage of the manikin

6.1 Ventilation ⑥
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 (6.1), ventilation through
an endotracheal tube (6.2) 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 CombitubeTM etc.
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.
