Ambu® Man training manikins
Airway preparation for training of
airway management
In these instructions, you learn how to prepare the airways of the AmbuMan Airway
and AmbuMan Advanced training manikins for advanced airway management.
Adequate preparation of the airway protects it from damage. Ambu recommends the
use of the accompanying water-soluble lubricating gel.
For preparation of the airway it is advisable to wear examination gloves.
Then apply the lubricant to the palate, tongue, epig-
lottis and the area around the glottis of the training
device.
2. Use of a laryngeal tube (King LTS-D)
Empty both cuffs and apply alarge drop of
water-soluble lubricant to the palm of your hand,
and moisten the distal half of the King LTS-D with
it. To do so, let the King LTS-D rotate in the
palm of your hand.
Ambu recommends the use of a size 4 King LTS-D (red standard connector) for airway management.
Now open the mouth of the training device using the
crossed nger technique, and guide the tongue with
the index finger towards the lower jaw. Now
insert the King LTS-D slowly and carefully along the
index finger and pull it back again. Repeat this
procedure several times until the King LTS-D can be
inserted easily into the correct position.
If any problems occur during training, repeat
these steps immediately.

chords of the training device, then pull it back
again. Repeat this procedure several times until
proper lubrication is ensured.
