5. Usage of the Ambu SAM

The Ambu SAM is designed to meet all the training recommendations of the
AHA(American Heart Association) and the ERC(European Resuscitation Council). In general,
however, it is recommended that instruction should be based on the techniques and
provisions applicable locally
5.1 Ventilation
The patented hygienic system of the Ambu SAM enables the trainee to get a realistic
feeling for performing ventilation.
The following techniques can be used:
Mouth-to-mouth ventilation
Mouth-to-nose ventilation
Mouth-to-mask ventilation
To ventilate ensure there is free access to the airway by hyperextending the head (see
picture ④).
The movements of the chest can be clearly observed during insufflation and expiration.
The expired air can be felt and heard from the mouth and nose of the Ambu SAM with no
risk of infection, as the air is the same as that insufflated by the trainee into the head bag.
NOTE: Remember to change head bags and face pieces for each new trainee.
5.2 Compression (see picture ⑤)
External chest compression can be practised, and the depth of compression will be
displayed on the indicator bar.
5.3 Placement of AED pad
If the training with AED is performed AED pads can be placed on the manikin.
NOTE: The manikin can only be used with Training AED's
5.4 Removal of Face piece (see picture ⑥)
Pull the ears outwards to release them from the two prongs on each side of the skull. Pull
the mask upwards by the ears until free of skull.
