AirSim Bronchi is a durable airway management trainer for intubation and bronchoscopy. This model includes the AirSim® airway with true, anatomically correct and visually accurate internal features including bronchi down to the fourth generation. This training manikin can also be used to practice nasotracheal intubation and nasally directed fiberoptic examination.
Bronchoscopy Trainer Ideal for Teaching Intubation and Lung Isolation
The AirSim Bronchi provides exceptional detail in both internal and external features for a more realistic training experience. The carina, bronchus and bronchioles can be clearly identified when training on the use of a fiberoptic laryngoscope. Students benefit from an anatomically correct nasal cavity including important landmarks such as the turbinates and visually accurate internal anatomy down to the fourth generation bronchi.

Q: What skills can I teach using the AirSim Bronchi?
Learners will gain proficiency in the below procedures:
• Direct and video laryngoscopy • Endotracheal intubation • Nasotracheal intubation • Supraglottic device insertion • Combitube insertion • Fibre optic intubation & examination • Nasogastric (NG) tube insertion techniques • Single lung isolation techniques • Bronchoscopy techniques
Q: What package contents will arrive with my order?
• 1 AirSim Bronchi manikin ready to use (AA51100) • 1 carrier case (ABAG01) • 100ml bottle of lubrication (TL001)
Q: Do I need to order replacement consumables?
Lubrication is the only consumable required for ongoing training using the AirSim Bronchi. TruCorp’s lubrication is a cost-efficient, water-soluble solution and is supplied in a 100ml bottle. Please contact our sales team to purchase.
Q: 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.
Q: Does the AirSim Bronchi require assembly?
No, this training manikin is delivered ready to use so you can begin training straight away! Simply ensure the head is in the correct position (sniffing or neutral) and generously spray the oral/nasal passages and equipment with the lubrication provided.
Q: What equipment sizes are recommended?
• Size 7.0-7.5mm ID for nasal intubation • Size 8.0-9.0mm ID for oral intubation • Size 3-5 for LMA laryngeal masks • Similar respective sizes for other supraglottic devices • Size 35F-37F for endo-bronchial tubes
Q: 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.
Q: Can I make intubation more difficult on the AirSim Bronchi manikin?
The tongue can be inflated to simulate tongue edema. Attach an empty syringe to the red connector located near the chin and insert approx. 20ml of air. We have alternative options for advanced difficult airway management. Get in touch with our sales team for more information.

In response to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend this additional step to ensure the product is fully sanitized:
Generously spray alcohol spray or gel (minimum 75% alcohol) and wipe off. Repeat 3-4 times to fully disinfect the product. This can be done on the silicone skin and the latex airway.
