1 Advanced Airway Management University of Colorado Medical School Rural Track

2 Advanced Airway Management Basic Airway Management Airway Suctioning Oxygen Delivery Methods Laryngeal Mask Airway ET Intubation Oropharyngeal Airway Nasopharyngeal Airway Cricothyrotomy

3 Basic Airway Management For patients unable to protect their own airway Jaw thrust/head tilt technique This technique itself can open the airway If concern for c spine injury, use jaw thrust without head tilt Excessive head tilt can occlude trachea in infants, consider padding under shoulders

4 Basic Airway Management

5 Basic Airway Management Padding under shoulders for infant

6 Airway Suctioning Obstruction of airway by secretions, blood, vomitus can lead to aspiration Rigid catheters (Yankeur), soft catheters (Y suction) Complications include airway trauma, coughing or gagging, delay in ventilation, vagal stimulation bradycardia, hypotension

7 Airway Suctioning Yankeur Rigid Catheter Y Suction Catheter

8 Oropharyngeal Suctioning Procedure Adults Preoxygenate Check connection to tubing Occlude side port to test for adequate suction Insert catheter into oropharynx under direct visualization Neonates Insert y suction catheter into nasopharynx Occlude sideport while withdrawing catheter Repeat for oropharynx

9 Oropharyngeal Airway Prevents the tongue from occluding the airway, bite block Should reach from the mouth to the angle of the jaw Insertion (Adults) Ensure concavity facing roof of the mouth Insert 1/3, rotate 180 degrees over the tongue Advance until flange against lips Insertion (Pediatrics) Concavity follows the curve of the tongue to avoid hard and soft palate trauma

10 Oropharyngeal Airway Size Color Suggested Population 000 Clear Neonate (under 6 wks) 00 Blue Infant (1 6 months) 0 Black Older infants/toddlers 1 White Small child (3 10 years) 2 Green Adolescent/adult female 3 Yellow Adult male 4 Red Large adult male

11 Nasopharyngeal Airway Useful in patients with airway obstruction, especially if oropharyngeal airway is inappropriate Correct size reaches from tip of patient s nose to ear lobe Sizes 6,7 & 8 mm Lubricate end of tube with lubricating jelly Insert into nostril (usually right) with bevel facing nasal septum Advance device along floor of nasopharynx, following curvature until flange rests against the nostril

12 Nasopharyngeal Airway

13 Oxygen Delivery Methods Nasal Cannula: flow rate 1 6 LPM (FiO %) Simple face mask: flow rate 5 10 LPM (FiO %) Non rebreather mask: flow rate LPM (FiO %) BiPAP/CPAP

14 Oxygen Delivery Methods Bag Valve Mask flow rate >15 LPM (FiO22 >90%)

15 Mallampati Classification Class I : Visualization of the soft palate, fauces; uvula, anterior and the posterior pillars. Class II : Visualization of the soft palate, fauces and uvula. Class III : Visualization of soft palate and base of uvula. Class IV: Only hard palate is visible. Soft palate is not visible at all

16 Mallampati Classification

17 Yikes!

18 Laryngeal Mask Airway Supraglottic airway Doesn t require laryngeal visualization Can precipitate vomiting or aspiration Size Weight guide Population 1 <5 kg Infant kg Small Child kg Small Adult kg Average Adult kg Large Adult

19 Laryngeal Mask Airway Prepare LMA: ensure patent cuff, apply water based lubricant Place patient in sniffing position Insert tip of LMA into mouth Advance into laryngopharynx until resistance is met Ensure black line on tubing in line with upper lip Inflate cuff Confirm tube misting, auscultation, EtCO2 Consider placement of bite block

20 Other Airways King Tube Combitube

21 Endotracheal Intubation Placing orotracheal tube under direct vision through larynx into trachea Protects airway, enables ventillation Complications of laryngoscopy direct trauma to mucous membranes, teeth, larynx bradycardia from vagal stimulation Raised intracranial pressure

22 Endotracheal Intubation Complications of Intubation Prolonged apnea hypoxia Esophageal or right mainstem bronchus intubation Inadequate tube size excessive leak, high pressures Aspiration Complications of Ventilation Barotrauma pneumothorax Hypoventilation hypoxia, hypercarbia Hyperventilation hypocarbia, cerebral hypoxia Reduction in preload hypotension

23 Endotracheal Intubation Preparation Pre oxygenation Ensure IV access and patency, cardiac monitoring Assess for predictors of technical difficulty (LEMON) Look (obesity, pregnancy, airway, facial, neck trauma) Evaluate rule (small mouth, receding jaw, short neck) Manual inline stabilization/mallampati score Obstruction (airway burn, protruding teeth, foreign body) Neck mobility

24 Endotracheal Intubation Preparation of equipment Suction Oxygen BVM device Airway adjuncts: OP airways, LMA Laryngoscope with appropriate blade, check light source ETT: right size Bougie Monitoring and EtCO2

25 Endotracheal Intubation Tools: Laryngoscope Macintosh blade curved blade, rests on epiglottic vallecula Miller blade straight blade, lifts epiglottis directly Blade Size Patient Miller 0 Infant Miller 1 Small child Macintosh 2 Large child Macintosh 3 Small adult Macintosh 4 Large adult

26 Endotracheal Intubation Age Tools: ET tube Uncuffed ETT (mm) Cuffed ETT (mm) Newborn mths mths yr yrs yrs yrs yrs Depth at lips (cm)

27 Endotracheal Intubation Place head in sniffing position (MILS if c spine injury) Open mouth, inspect oral cavity Remove dentures or debris Place laryngoscope with left hand into the right side of patient s mouth, sweeping tongue to left Lift mandible without levering on teeth until direct visualization of the larynx

28 Endotracheal Intubation

29 Endotracheal Intubation Introduce bougie through cords Advance ET tube over bougie until cuff passes through cords ETT length at lips for women 20 21, men Remove bougie Connect BVM, commence ventilation Inflate cuff Confirm placement EtCO2 capnography, attach detector proximal to filter Auscultation in axillae and over stomach

30 Airtraq

31 Glidescope

32 Post intubation management Secure ETT with a cloth tie Manually ventilate for EtCO mmhg Post intubation sedation as needed Continue comprehensive monitoring and ETCO2
