Spontaneous Breathing and Airway Closures
The SimMan ALS has spontaneous breathing (visible chest rise and fall) with variable
breathing rate.
The left lung and right lung can be closed independently or together to create a partial
or complete airway obstruction.
Note
See SimPad PLUS User Guide or LLEAP Help Files for complete breathing and airway blockage
functionality and operating information.
Tension Pneumothorax Decompression
Tension pneumothorax with needle decompression can be performed at bilateral mid
clavicle line, 2nd intercostal space. The pneumothorax bladders may be p/-10 times.
The pressure inside the bladder will drop after repeated puncturing. A 22 (or smaller)
gauge needle is recommended for decompression of the chest.
Notes
•
Using a smaller gauge needle increases the longevity of the chest skin and bladders.
•
After multiple pneumothorax decompressions, the bladders may need replacement. They
should be replaced if inflation can no longer be detected under the skin or deflation is not
heard when pierced.
•
Refer to Maintenance section for information on how to replace the bladders.
