Airway SmartMan provides an ideal environment to practice intubating. It has an operating trachea and esophagus plus a working chest cavity with lung. SmartMan gives you feedback on how well you have performed the placement and whether you are performing uninterrupted compressions with the advanced airway. If you would like to organize a demo, please contact us.
The Intubation Device
The Airway SmartMan manikin has an operating trachea and esophagus plus a working chest cavity with lung.
This means that you can practice placing an Advanced Airway with an endotracheal tube, and a variety of perilaryngeal and esophageal devices.
Timing
There are at least two reasons that the intubation device must be placed quickly.
1. While you are placing the device chest compressions are stopped. This is bad for the victim. Research shows that uninterrupted chest compressions correlate with better outcomes for victims.
Proper Placement
Each device is slightly different. Following the suggestions provided by your intubation device provider. Then practice placing it.
Practice
Knowing your intubation device is important. Each has its own nuances. All devices can be tricky to get into the right spot.
SmartMan has an activity to practice accurately placing the device. It will record how long you have taken and it will measure when the device has been accurately placed. It will determine whether there is leakage or whether it is in the wrong place.
SmartMan also provides real time feedback on your ventilations with intubation in place during the advanced airway CPR. This takes practice. You only have 0.3 of a second to provide inspiration and it must be precisely timed to the release of the chest compression.
Airway SmartMan brings accurate real time visual feedback to ALS training. The manikin itself reaches a new level of accuracy for a device in this class of product. Also unique to this product is the feedback to optimize the value of the continuous chest compressions and the timing of the ventilations so that both oxygenation and blood flow can be optimal for the patient. See each section below for more specific information on the skills which Airway SmartMan will help you develop.
Airway SmartMan allows you to practice intubating a victim and it accepts a wide range of air devices. It also tells you how long it has taken to establish an effective airway and whether the seal is effective.
Airway SmartMan can also be used to train for correct Chest Compressions and BLS Ventilations with a BVM.
All SmartMan Training Systems
feature Real Time Feedback using Easy to Understand Color Bar Graphs. In both Practice and Test Modes, you can choose to perform Skills with the Visual Feedback on or off.
2 Rescuer CPR with an
Advanced Airway in place
Airway SmartMan accurately re-creates the natural reverse flow of air into the lungs on release of a chest compression. With an intubation device correctly placed, a ventilation accurately timed with the release of the chest is able to deliver 0.5l – 0.6l of air into the lungs within 0.3 sec. This provides the victim with oxygenated blood and uninterrupted compressions.
Timed Intubating of A Patient
Practice placing an Advanced Airway with an endotracheal tube, and a variety of perilaryngeal and esophageal devices. Real time feedback lets
you know if the airway device is correctly placed, how long it has taken and whether you have established an effective seal.

Timing of Ventilation
with release of chest
1. Visually displays whether you have optimized putting air into the lungs. It lets you know whether you have begun providing air too early or too late for it to be optimal to the patient.
2. The sooner you get it placed correctly, the sooner you begin circulating oxygenated blood.
