1 Management of the Airway Kristen Bridges, M.D. Kings County Hospital Center November 12 th 2015

2 Case Presentation 64F PMHx CHF EF 5-10%, NYHF III-IV, atrial fibrillation/la thrombus, CVA x2, DM, HTN Home meds: coumadin, ASA, metoprolol, lasix, atorvastatin, tramadol, hydralazine, enalapril Admitted for lower extremity pain, difficulty ambulating INR>10, BNP 3980, trop 0.8, HCO3 15, BUN/Cr 35/2.14 Admitted for acute CVA, klebsiella UTI

3 Hospital Course HD#2: Code 88 for unresponsiveness, GCS 3, intubated, tachycardic Hypotensive, started on dopamine gtt Found to have embolic disease to brain

4 Hospital Course WBC rose to 49K Klebsiella UTI treated, c diff neg ECHO LA thrombus (no vegetations) CSF negative Bullae of LE- CT neg for nec infection MRI brain multiple recent ischemic infarcts likely 2/2 emboli

5 Hospital Course POD#9 s/p percutaneous tracheostomy Medical team noted an air leak, SVT, consulted CT surgery Losing 100cc tidal volume ABG 7.6/203/28 NAD Decision made to exchange tracheostomy

6 Hospital Course Tracheostomy removed, replaced with distal XLT, no end tidal CO2- Removed, replaced, still no ETCO2 Patient desaturated, code 88 called Bradycardia- asystole ACLS started, code 99- Patient expired

7 Questions?

8 Airway Management

9 ABCs Airway is first step in ATLS primary survey Look and listen, pulse oximetry Ask patient their name

10 Mallampatti/Cormack-Lehane

11 Definitive Airway Indications Hypoventilation Hypoxemia Airway obstruction Severe hemorrhagic shock Cardiac arrest GCS </= 8

12 Questions to Ask Is intubation required? How quickly does this need to be done? How difficult will it be? Which method should I choose? What are my back up plans?

13 Three Components 3 manuevers can identify difficult airways: Examination of oropharynx Evaluation range of motion at atlanto-axial joint Measurement of mandibular displacement area

14 Supraglottic Techniques

15 Head-Tilt/Chin Lift/Jaw Thrust

16 Oropharyngeal/Nasopharyngeal Airway

17 Bag-Valve Mask Essential skill!! The most important airway skill Almost every patient can be managed this way 2 person technique

18 Supraglottic Airway Devices Laryngeal mask airway Multilumen esophageal airway (CombiTube) Laryngeal tube airway All do not require direct visualization of the glottis DO NOT REPRESENT DEFNITIVE AIRWAY Require unconscious patient with NO gag reflex

19 LMA

20 Combitube

21 Contraindications to CombiTube Intact gag reflex Wrong height Known esophageal disease Caustic substance injection Inhalation burns

22 Infraglottic Techniques

23 Awake Fiberoptic Intubation Use with suspicion of cervical spinal cord injuries and non emergent intubation Minimizes cervical spine movements Premedicate with glycopyrrolate Lidocaine for airway anesthesia Oral airway Insert fiberoptic scope, visualize cords, spray the vocal cords with lidocaine Insert endotracheal tube with a videolaryngoscope or over a fiberoptic brocnchoscope

24 Rapid Sequence Intubation Sedation/hypnotic agent + paralysis to facilitate emergent intubation of conscious patients Non-paralysis intubations had more airway trauma, aspiration injury, death Use when need to intubate quickly, efficiently, risk of aspiration of gastric contents is high Avoid bag valve mask ventilation

25 Seven P s of RSI Preparation Preoxygenation Pretreatment Paralysis Protection/Positioning Placement/Proof Post Intubation management

26 Medications- Versed Midazolam Fat soluble benzodiazepine Induces sedation/amnesia CI: shock, hypotension Dose: 0.2 mg/kg Onset 2-3 min Duration min

27 Medications- Propofol Alkylphenol derivative with hypnotic properties Induction Caution if hypotensive, causes decreased systemic vascular resistance Dose: 2mg/kg Onset: sec Duration 8-10 min

28 Medications- Etomidate Dose 0.3 mg/kg Onset sec Duration min Hemodynamically neutral

29 Medications- Paralytics Succinylcholine Dose 1.5 mg/kg Can administer IM Contraindicated in burns, open globe injuries, neuromuscular disorders, hyperkalemia, pseudocholinesterase deficiency, severe crush injury, chronic paralysis Duration: 6-10 min Rocuronium Dose mg/kg Duration: 45 min

30 Endotracheal Intubation First line airway in trauma patients Cricoid pressure Need: Bag valve mask Laryngoscope Endotracheal tube Stylet Suction End tidal CO2 detector stethoscope

31 Direct Laryngoscopy

32 Video Laryngoscope/Glidescope

33 Stylets

34

35 Surgical Airway

36 Cricothyroidotomy Indications: Absolute need for definitive airway + Inability to perform endotracheal intubation (structural reasons, upper airway obstruction, unsuccessful attempts) What you ll need: Scalpel 6mm endotracheal tube Mask/gloves +/- lidocaine, gown, betadine, hemostat, trousseau dilator, tracheal hook

37

38

41

42

43 Cricothyroidotomy cm incision over the cricothyroid membrane with 10/11 scalpel Insert hemostat into the incision and open the airway Insert cuffed ETT (5 or 6 size) or tracheostomy tube through incision

44 Needle Cricothyroidotomy Insufficient time for full cricothyroidotomy 12 or 14 gauge needle attached to 5-10 ml syringe to puncture the skin directly over the cricothyroid membrane Drop angle to 45 degrees after through skin and angle 45 degrees caudally Aspirate air remove syringe Connect needle to jet ventilation device or ETT connector

45 Management Convert to formal tracheostomy by hours

46

47 Question #1 Patient with severe head injury had a percutaneous tracheostomy performed with a #8 tracheostomy tube. Two days later, the tube is no longer in the airway and the patient has labored breathing. What is your next step? Replace the tube through the existing tract Repeat the percutaneous tracheostomy Perform oral intubation Peform a cricothyroidotomy Perform an open tracheostomy

48 Question #2 A 5-year-old boy is struck by a car at a high rate of speed. Paramedics are unable to intubate the patient and he presents to the trauma bay with a GCS score of 7 and an open right femur fracture. He is being bag~valve mask ventilated. His pulse oximeter reads 98%. Which is CONTRAINDICATED in this child? Needle cricothyroidotorny Surgical cricothyroidotomy Endotracheal intubation Tracheostomy Laryngeal Mask Airway
