SmartMan Releases Airway SmartMan

Airway SmartMan extends the SmartMan Real Time Feedback system to those who must perform advanced airway. Airway SmartMan is designed to help you perfect intubations and to learn how to time ventilations with release of the chest compression in an advanced airway situation.

The device accurately re-creates the natural reverse flow of air into the lungs on release of a compression and this allows you to accurately deliver .5l – 6l of air into the lungs within 0.3 second if the start of the inspiration is correctly timed with the release of the chest compression.

The real time visual feedback provides full information on the inspiration volume and  the timing of the inspiration in relation to the release of the chest.
