In Flight Procedures and In Flight Personnel

The experiment requires three experimenters and one camera operator. The three experimenters are called intubator, assistant, and controller. The intubator performs the intubation on the manikin during 0 g. When this has been done the controller verifies the intubation by auscultation and a fiber optic, and records the results. The assistant helps the intubator and controller during their various tasks.

Tasks in italic are verbal commands.

Initialisation of experiment (1.0 g):

Intubator	Assistant	Controller
Remove and secure safety belts from manikin used during take-off and landing	Start up laptop	Mounts and starts up fixed camera
		Verify position of camera
Perform 2 intubation tests

Pull up phase (1.8 g):

Intubator	Assistant	Controller
		Flips page, announces method
	Opens drawer

0 g phase:

Intubator	Assistant	Controller
Takes equipment, intubates	Hands out laryngoscope & tube
	Hands out vent.bag
Inflate cuff, removes mandrin	Fixes tube
Ready	Reveices mandrin

Pull out phase (1.8 g) / Normal flight (1.0 g):

Intubator	Assistant	Controller
Closes eyes/flap sleeping mask	Fixes vent. bag (does not vent.!)
Eyes closed
		Checks ventilation /auscultation, record
	Takes fiber optics (FO), hand it to controller	Hands ventilation bag to Assist.
	Receives vent.bag and stowes it	Takes FO, inspects, gives FO back to Assist.
	Receives FO, stowes it	Record result
	Extubates, puts mandrin into tube
	Stows everything back

Shutdown of experiment (1.0 g):
