Erler Zimmer S.A.L.A.D. Simulator in detail
The "Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination (S.A.L.A.D.) Simulator" improves successful endotracheal intubation on the first attempt (FPS - First Pass Success) in a non-anaesthetised patient with acute vomiting. The simulator simulates a non-anaesthetised patient on whom you can practice intubation, ventilation and suctioning. You can practise oral, digital and nasal intubation and also use endotracheal tubes, E.O.A. tubes, P.T.L. tubes, laryngeal mask ventilation, Combitube and King systems.
The simulator enables suctioning techniques and correct inflation of the cuff in acute vomiting. The anatomical features include teeth, tongue, mouth and throat, larynx, epiglottis, arytenoid cartilage, pouch ligaments, vocal cords, trachea, oesophagus and cricoid cartilage. The simulator offers sufficient space for movement and is in a slightly forward tilted position, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
By pressing on the cricoid cartilage, you can change the position of the trachea and close the oesophagus. Hard suction catheters displace the lower jaw and tongue and allow the laryngoscope to be inserted. You can also practise the Sellick manoeuvre realistically and simulate a manual carotid pulse. The simulator includes the "Airway Larry" adult airway management head, 2 suction canisters with right-angle tube adapters, a canister with hand pump, two latex-free simulation lungs, thickening agent, hard suction catheters, a 1m transparent vinyl tube, lubricant, 5 red caps with fitting, tube couplings, 5 clamps, a #10 bit and a case.
