Mask seal was more difficult than in humans whereas Laryngeal mask (LMA<jats:sup>TM<\/jats:sup>) insertion and function was acceptable. The distance from the teeth to the vallecula was too short. Cervical spine mobility was significantly reduced in the \u2018reduced neck movement\u2019 mode but the intubation was only slightly more difficult than in the \u2018normal\u2019 mode.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold>The SimMan<jats:sup>TM<\/jats:sup>full\u2010scale patient simulator's airway is generally acceptably realistic but it significantly differs from the human airway in important aspects. The user must be aware of these aspects in order to obtain maximum benefit from training and evaluation scenarios and when using the simulator for testing new equipment and techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2005.00856.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,26]],"date-time":"2005-08-26T15:49:53Z","timestamp":1125071393000},"page":"1339-1345","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":85,"title":["Evaluation of the airway of the SimMan\u2122 full\u2010scale patient simulator"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Hesselfeldt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.
