  1. ALS simulator’s head contains a speaker for manikin voice
  2. Eyes are interchangeable – select from Normal, pinpoint and/or blown pupils
  3. ALS simulator’s has an anatomically correct airway that will allow ventilation via BVM and the use of most common airway adjuncts; OPA’s, NPA’s,# 4 LMA’s, ETT’s (7.5)
  4. Manipulation of the airway by head tilt, chin lift, jaw thrust, cricoid pressure and suctioning and tongue fall back.
  5. Surgical and needle cricothyrotomy
  6. Spontaneous breathing is visible by chest rise and fall and will vary with the respiratory rate (0-60bpm)
  7. Unilateral chest rise can be achieved during manual ventilation by independently blocking lungs and with right lung intubation. Corresponding lung sounds will be present or absent during auscultation.
  8. Stomach distension will also activate when poor techniques are performed
  9. Tongue oedema.
  10. A variety of sounds are available for the voice, heart, lungs and bowel.
  11. Cardiac rhythms can be altered to suit most needs and can be monitored using the ECG connectors
  12. Defibrillation, cardioversion and pacing are possible using live defibrillators that are easily connected via the defibrillation posts
  13. Blood pressure can be measured manually using the supplied BP cuff with auscultation of Korotkoff sounds
  14. Pulses can be palpated at the radial and brachial sites as well as bilateral carotids. The strength of all pulses will vary depending on the blood pressure
  15. IV cannulation can be performed on the right arm and intraosseous access can be gained at the left proximal tibial tuberosity.
