Getting started with Resusci Anne Simulator

Airway Head

1. Head Tilt and Chin lift: Head tilt and chin lift can be performed on the head. If the

head tilt is performed, and airway obstruction is not activated, the airway valve will be

open allowing air passage to the lungs

2. Jaw Thrust: The jaw thrust maneuver can be performed on the head. If the jaw thrust

is performed, and airway obstruction is not activated, the airway valve will be open

allowing air passage to the lungs

3. Ventilation

The airway is designed to accept a broad range of airway management devices. Some
examples are:

• Oral and Nasal airways (OPA and NPA)

• Bag-Valve-Mask ventilation (BVM)

• Combitube

• Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA)

• Laryngeal Tube Airway (LTA)

Lubricate the oral and nasal airways liberally with the lubricant provided prior to
inserting any instrument or tube into the airway. Additionally, instruments and tubes
should also be lubricated prior to use.

Note: There are electronic components mounted inside the simulator’s airway

management head. The following techniques should not be performed on this
simulator due to the inability to properly sanitize the airway if they are performed:

Mouth-to-mouth/Mouth-to-mask ventilation
Insertion of simulated vomit for suctioning

4. Speaker for voice transmission: When the simulator is “On” a speaker located

inside the airway head can produce pre-recorded voice transmission via remote

control. Live voice transmission can also be achieved by use of a microphone when
connected to the simulator’s torso.

Note: External microphone not supplied by Laerdal

5. Pupils: The simulator is delivered with a set of eyes containing normal pupils mounted

in the head. A separate case contains 3 sets of plastic eye inserts (normal, constricted
and dilated pupils) for use in simulating other conditions.

6. Cricoid Cartilage: A realistic cricoid cartilage is attached to the airway underneath the

face skin allowing the technique of cricoid pressure (Sellick Maneuver) to be

performed.

7. Carotid pulses: When the simulator is “On” palpable carotid pulses, synchronous to

the simulated ECG, are generated.

Note: Care should be taken when palpating the carotid pulse to not use excessive
force as this will result in no pulse being felt.

8. Airway Obstruction: An airway obstruction can be activated from the remote control.

This feature simulates a complete blockage of the airways by shutting the airway
closure valve that controls air passage to the lung. The Resusci Anne Simulator is
