Laerdal Medical Documentation – Check Revision Before Use

Choking Charlie is a lifelike manikin which realistically simulates a choking victim who is unable to speak or breathe due to a foreign body airway obstruction. It is specifically designed for training the Heimlich Abdominal Thrust Maneuver. The manufacturing quality of this simulator should provide many sessions of training when reasonable care and maintenance are practiced.

Laerdal Recommends: Be sure bolus is lodged tightly down throat of Choking Charlie. No air should be escaping. This will assist in efforts to expel bolus when performing the Heimlich Abdominal Thrust Maneuver.

Items included: (1) Choking Charlie Torso (4) Replaceable Boluses (1) Bottle of Talcum Powder (1) Tank Top (1) Carrying Case

Preparing Manikin for Use: Inserting Bolus: 1. Apply a small amount of talcum powder to bolus before inserting into mouth. 2. Using index finger and medium pressure, push bolus past first point of resistance just inside throat. Do no store bolus in mouth when not in use.

Laerdal Recommends: Talcum powder is used to simulate normal saliva in throat and should be applied frequently to reduce friction between bolus and mouthpiece. Be sure bolus is lodged tightly down Choking Charlie’s throat. No air should be escaping.
