5. Instruction
The Ambu Baby is designed to meet all the training recommendations
of the American Heart Association (AHA).
In general, however, it is recommended that instruction should be
based on the techniques and provisions applicable in the country in
which instruction takes place.
Instruction may be given in correct head movement. The airway will be
obstructed on incorrect position.

The thorax movement is clearly visible during insufflation and expiration.
The expiratory air can be felt and heard. There is no risk of crossinfection
since the hygienic system ensures that the expiratory air is the same as
that insufflated by the trainee in the head bag. Accidental stomach infla-
tion is simulated and the abdomen visibly distended (see
