“Airway Larry” Airway
Management Trainer is the most
realistic simulator available for the
training of intubation and other airway
management skills.
Nasco has taken great care to cre-
ate an airway management trainer
that is anatomically correct in respect
to both size and detail. Landmarks
include: nostrils, teeth, tongue, oral
and nasal pharynx, larynx, cricoid
ring, epiglottis, arytenoid, false and
true cords, trachea, esophagus,
“Airway Larry” lung set, and stomach.
Nasco’s “Airway Larry” allows you
to practice oral, digital, and nasal
intubation. E.T., E.O.A., PTL
®
, and
Combitube
®
insertion can all be prac-
ticed as well (please see “Using the
Combitube
®
”). Suction techniques and
proper cuff inflation can also be per-
formed and evaluated.
Lubricating the Airway Trainer Head:
Lubricate both the simulator and
supplies being used with the Nasco
pump spray lubricant provided. (
See
figures 1 & 2.)

NOTE:
Nasco recommends the use
of the provided lubricant or a similar
vegetable-based lubricant for the
Airway Management Trainer head.
The use of a silicone-based lubricant
may cause damage to the simulator,
thus voiding Nasco’s warranty on the
trainer.
