TruCorp AirSim Pierre Robin X was developed in collaboration with clinicians from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This realistic training manikin highlights difficult airway management techniques for infants with Pierre Robin Sequence/Syndrome (PRS). AirSim® X airway with 5-year warranty certified for over 20,000 intubation cycles.

The Pierre Robin manikin has been incredibly helpful in training our neonatology fellows how to manage a difficult airway. All of our fellows have benefited greatly from learning to place oral airways, laryngeal mask airways, and endotracheal tubes in this manikin. The anatomy is quite realistic and I have yet to find a better difficult airway training manikin for neonatology.

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
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 anesthesiology. 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:
Bag-valve-mask ventilation
Supraglottic device insertion
Naso and orotreacheal intubation
Direct and video fiberoptic laryngoscopy
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.
