AirSim Pierre Robin X

Pediatric Difficult Airway Trainer

As a result of their unique anatomy, infants with Pierre Robin Syndrome are more likely to present difficulties in airway management. Airway management in patients with uncorrected PRS should be anticipated as potentially very difficult1 and requires advanced training in difficult pediatric airway management.
The Pierre Robin X airway manikin is compatible with a full range of supraglottic devices. We recommend the following equipment sizes for optimal performance:

  • 3.5-4.0 mm ID for oral intubation
  • Size 1 for supraglottic devices
  • Size 1 for video-laryngoscopy
Pierre Robin Syndrome airway management

The AirSim Pierre Robin X allows training in the full range of supraglottic devices.

The AirSim® Pierre Robin X’s anatomically correct airway has been constructed based on real CT data of a six-month-old infant and exhibits various congenital defects of an infant with PRS including:

  • Significant mandibular hypoplasia
  • Micrognathia
  • Glossoptosis
  • Cleft palate
  • Bifid uvula
DIFFICULT PEDIATRIC AIRWAY MANAGEMENT TRAINER

In addition to the factors specific to Pierre Robin sequence, difficult airways in infants can be caused by the same factors complicating airway management in adults, including limited head extension, reduced mandibular space and increased tongue thickness.2
Airway management skills are fundamental to anaesthesiology. The AirSim Pierre Robin X manikin provides an advanced medical training experience to improve patient safety and outcomes.
Our infant difficult airway trainer provides realistic feedback during and facilitates training in several airway management procedures including:

Due to its realism and durability, the AirSim Pierre Robin X makes an ideal airway demonstration model for device manufacturers and educators.

Pediatric Airway Obstruction Management

The ‘real feel’ skin covering and accurate anatomy create a more realistic training experience.

Upper airway obstruction is frequently the cause of respiratory distress and failure in pediatric patients 3 with the most common causes being infection, airway swelling and foreign body airway obstruction.
The congenital defects associated with PRS can also affect upper airway patency, as can enlarged tonsils or adenoids.
Techniques and tools for pediatric airway obstruction management include:

  • Properly performed bag-valve-mask ventilation
  • Use of oral or nasopharyngeal airways during ventilation
  • Supraglottic devices including LMA
  • Direct laryngoscopy
  • Fiberoptic bronchoscope and supraglottic airway used to advance an airway exchange catheter as a conduit for intubation2

The AirSim Pierre Robin X trainer allows anesthesiologists and other medical professionals to practice tracheal intubation, mask ventilation and other techniques to overcome the unique challenges presented by this syndrome.

What type of lubrication can be used during intubation practice?

We recommend TruCorp’s lubrication for best practice, but alternatives can be used provided they are water-soluble lubricants. Please do not use silicone-based products as they will degrade the materials.

Does the manikin provide user feedback to indicate successful or failed procedures?

Yes, if successfully intubated the two lung bags will inflate. If the airway device is incorrectly placed in the esophagus, the stomach bag will inflate.

What warranty comes with the AirSim Pierre Robin X?

The AirSim Pierre Robin X manikin comes with a 5-year warranty on the AirSim X airway and a 1-year warranty on all other parts. Warranty begins from the date of delivery.

My AirSim Pierre Robin X manikin needs repairing. How can I arrange this?
