Intubation
The upper airway of the Luna manikin is designed to allow for intubation and laryngoscopy. Direct
laryngoscopy as well as oral and nasal tracheal intubation can be performed using devices such as
endotracheal tubes, nasopharyngeal airways and oropharyngeal airways.

CAUTION
: Airways can be damaged by improper insertion of an airway adjunct (such as
endotracheal tube). To protect the airway, lubricate the adjunct prior to insertion using the
cottonseed oil spray provided.
Use ONLY the provided COTTONSEED OIL to lubricate the adjunct. NEVER use a water-based
lubricant because of resulting residue damage.
