Setup
Atlas is approximately 1.70 m tall and weighs 13 kg. It is available in two skin tones. Battery life is 8 to 10 hours. The charge status is indicated by color codes on the power button: white light (100%-50%), green light (49%-15%), red light (14%-5%), flashing red light (less than 5%). Atlas is charged via the included adapter and can be used wirelessly during training sessions.
Airway
Atlas simulates the anatomy of the airway, including the tongue, epiglottis, vocal cords, trachea, and esophagus. Use Atlas to practice head positioning, manual maneuvers to open the airway, and the application of compatible adjuncts for realistic airway management.
The airway can be opened by tilting the head back or using the Esmarch maneuver. Other methods for opening the airway include simulated suction, removal of foreign bodies, and insertion of Guedel tubes (OPA) or Wendl tubes (NPA).
When bag-valve-mask ventilation (BVM) is applied correctly with single or double assistant on Atlas, a visible chest rise occurs.
Nasal or oral intubation can be performed using a 7.5 mm endotracheal tube (ET). For optimal intubation, use the enhanced Jackson position and the BURP maneuver. Use classic laryngoscopy or video laryngoscopy for intubation.
Recommended tube sizes:
- Oral tracheal tube: 7.5
- Nasotracheal tube: 6.5 - 7
- iGel: 4
- Laryngeal mask: 4
- Laryngeal tube: 4
You can determine if bag-valve-mask ventilation is performed correctly and if the airway is clear by auscultating and checking for chest excursion. Similarly, incorrect right mainstem intubations can be confirmed by chest excursion and lung sounds on the right side. Auscultate for abdominal excursion to determine esophageal intubation.
iGel, Laryngeal Masks (LMA), and Laryngeal Tubes (LT) can be used according to the manufacturers' instructions. A nasogastric tube can also be inserted. The second-generation airway option allows for nasogastric tube insertion.
Note: Apply a small amount of silicone airway lubricant to the equipment before using airway adjuncts.
Use the high-quality CPR Display Panel of REALITi 360 and the general-purpose defibrillator display to view the inspiratory tidal volume.
Lung Features:
- Maximum tidal volume: 1300 mL
- Maximum airway pressure: 100 cm H2O
Chest Compressions (CPR)
Atlas simulates the anatomy of the chest to allow for chest compressions in accordance with resuscitation guidelines.
Chest compressions can be performed intermittently or continuously with bag-valve-mask ventilation, providing realistic chest resistance during CPR.
Atlas is compatible with mechanical resuscitation aids. Practice mechanical resuscitation techniques when performing manual chest compressions, considering resuscitation measures.
The CPR display panel and General Purpose Defibrillator provide feedback on hand placement.
When used with REALITi 360, compression rate and depth are displayed on the monitor, along with resuscitation artifacts on the EKG trace.
The CPR Display Panel and General Purpose Defibrillator display:
- Compressions that cause EKG artifacts.
- Realistic compression depth and resistance.
- Detection of compression depth, release, and rate.
- Real-time display of CPR quality on the CPR Display Panel.
- Use of mCPR piston-driven devices.
- Detection of hand placement.
- Compliant with ILCOR resuscitation guidelines.
Circulation
The Atlas training manikin has two IV pads on the forearm and the back of the right hand. For ideal usage, 18G or smaller cannulas are recommended. There is an IO insert on the upper part of the left arm. Drilling systems are recommended for this procedure.
When performing drug administration via the IV pad and/or IO access site, use a drainage bag connected to a Luer lock adapter.
There is one IO drain on the upper part of the left arm and one IV drain on the upper part of the arm.
Recommended puncture sizes:
- IV: ≤18G
- IO: drilling system
To replace the IV pads and IO inserts, remove them from their original positions and disconnect them from the drainage system. Then, connect the new part to the drainage system and insert the new training pad into the housing. It is recommended to dry the system, remove the cannulas, and disconnect the drainage system at the end of the training session.
After daily sessions are completed, flush the system with air to remove any fluid. Connect an air-filled syringe to the IV/IO catheter and flush the IV pads/IO inserts with air until only air exits the overflow tube.
