How to Use Ultrassist Neonatal Intubation Trainer

The Neonatal Intubation Trainer is designed to perfect medical professionals' ET intubation and Gastric Tube Insertion skills, which the clinical requires.

In clinical, there are some preparations prior to intubation.

• Prepare a laryngoscope for neonates with the supplied airway lubricant
• Prepare a resuscitation gasbag
• Confirm the tube size, such as a 2.5 mm Endotracheal tube(ET tube) for newborn endotracheal intubation
• Spray the Endotracheal tube

Endotracheal(ET) Intubation:

A laryngoscope device is used to help visualize the airway, and the endotracheal tube is inserted into the trachea through the mouth to the larynx. By inflating the endotracheal tube, observe the two small balloons for adjustment and confirmation to ensure the tube is correct.

Gastric Tube Insertion:

Insert the tube into one nostril, passing through the nasopharynx and throat, until it reaches the stomach. Inflate the endotracheal tube and observe the large balloon to adjust and confirm whether the tube is correctly placed in the stomach, avoiding misplacement in the trachea or other locations.

Pediatric ET Intubation Training Step-by-step Guide 

Step 1: Check the items

Make sure the laryngoscope, Endotracheal tube, gasbag, and neonatal intubation trainer are available for training.

Step 2: Let the infant intubation trainer on a table that a height is good for the operation.

The head of the Ultrassist Neonatal Intubation Trainer is set back slightly just like in the real scenarios for intubation operation. So it is not necessary to stabilize the neonate's head in the "nasoaspiratory position" for the best view of the airway.

Step 3: Insert the laryngoscope to open the epiglottis and visualize the airway.

Step 4: Insert the Endotracheal tube

Step 5: Remove the laryngoscope

Step 6: Connect the resuscitation gasbag for frontal ventilation

Step 7: Check if the intubation is correct

Neonatal ET intubation: check if the pink balloons representing both lungs are inflated while the red balloon is not.

Neonatal Nasal Intubation: check if the red balloon representing the stomach is inflated while the pink balloons are not.

Neonatal intubation is a medical procedure where a flexible tube is inserted into an infant's airway, typically through the mouth or nose, to establish an open airway, provide mechanical ventilation, or administer medications. This procedure is necessary in various clinical situations where an infant's respiratory or medical condition requires intervention.

Note: In order to complete the intubation training, a laryngoscope and gasbag are also necessary except the neonatal intubation trainer and ET tube we supply.
