2 Airway Assessment and Management Anatomy Review Breathing Process Inhalation Active part of breathing. Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract allowing the lungs to expand. Pressure in the lungs decreases as they fill with air. Air travels to the lungs.
3 Breathing Process, cont'd Inhalation Exhalation Does not normally require effort. Diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax. The chest decreases in size, ribs and muscles assume their normal positions. The increase in pressure forces air out. Gas Exchange Inhalation delivers oxygen-rich air to alveoli. Oxygen diffuses into the blood. Breathing is primarily adjusted by the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. Adequate Breathing Normal rate and depth Regular rhythm Good breath sounds in both lungs Regular rise and fall movements in the chest Easy, not labored
4 Normal Breathing Rates Adults to 0 breaths/min Children 5 to 30 breaths/min Infants 5 to 50 breaths/min Inadequate Breathing Irregular rhythm Labored breathing Muscle retractions Pale or blue skin Cool, clammy skin Faster respiratory rate The Body s Need for Oxygen
5 What is Hypoxia? Not enough oxygen for metabolic needs. Develops when patient is either:. Breathing inadequately. Not breathing at all 3. Oxygen-starved environment Signs of Hypoxia Nervousness, irritability, and fear Tachycardia Mental status changes Use of accessory muscles for breathing Difficulty breathing, possible chest pain Airway Assessment LOOK LISTEN FEEL
6 Head Tilt Chin Lift. Kneel beside patient s head.. Place one hand on forehead. 3. Apply backward pressure. 4. Place tips of finger under lower jaw. 5. Lift chin. Jaw Thrust Maneuver. Kneel above patient s head.. Place fingers behind angle of jaw. 3. Use thumbs to keep mouth open. Methods of Ventilation Mouth-to-Mask. Kneel above patient s head.. Place fingers behind angle of jaw.
7 Methods of Ventilation Mouth-to-Mask -person BVM Methods of Ventilation Mouth-to-Mask -person BVM Non-rebreathing mask (NRM): Provides up to 90% oxygen Used at 0 to 5 L/min Supplemental O Methods of Ventilation Mouth-to-Mask -person BVM Nasal Cannula: Provides 4% to 44% oxygen Used at to 6 L/min Supplemental O
8 Methods of Ventilation Mouth-to-Mask One person maintains seal while the other delivers ventilations. -person BVM Supplemental O -person BVM Supplemental Oxygen All patients in cardiac arrest should get oxygen. Any patient with a respiratory or cardiac emergency needs oxygen. Never withhold oxygen from anyone who may benefit from it. Artificial Ventilations Adults breath every 5 seconds Children breath every 3 seconds Infants breath every 3 seconds
9 Adequate Ventilation Equal chest rise and fall Ventilating at appropriate rate Heart rate returns to normal Inadequate Ventilation Minimal or no chest rise and fall Ventilations too fast or slow Heart rate does not return to normal Sellick Maneuver Place pressure on cricoid with thumb and index finger. May be used (observed) during intubation by paramedics Use on unconscious patients to prevent gastric distention.
10 Gastric Distention Artificial ventilation fills stomach with air. Occurs if ventilations are too forceful or too frequent or when airway is blocked. May cause patient to vomit. and what if they vomit? Suctioning Equipment Proper Suctioning. Check the unit and turn it on.
11 Proper Suctioning. Check the unit and turn it on.. Select and measure proper catheter to be used. Proper Suctioning. Check the unit and turn it on.. Select and measure proper catheter to be used. 3. Open the patient s mouth and insert tip. Proper Suctioning. Check the unit and turn it on.. Select and measure proper catheter to be used. 3. Open the patient s mouth and insert tip. 4. Suction as you withdraw the catheter.
12 Proper Suctioning. Check the unit and turn it on.. Select and measure proper catheter to be used. 3. Open the patient s mouth and insert tip. 4. Suction as you withdraw the catheter. Never suction adults for more than 5 seconds. Stomas and Tracheostomy Tubes Ventilations are delivered through the stoma. Attach BVM device to tube or use infant mask. Stoma may need to be suctioned. Oropharyngeal Airway Adjunct Keeps the tongue from blocking the upper airway. Allows for easier suctioning of the airway. Used in conjunction with BVM device. Used on unconscious patients without a gag reflex.
13 Oropharyngeal Airway Adjunct. Select the proper size airway. Oropharyngeal Airway Adjunct. Hold the airway upside down and insert it in the patient s mouth. Oropharyngeal Airway Adjunct 3 3. Rotate the airway 80 until the flange rests on the patient s lips.
14 Patient Assessment Patient Assessment Scene size-up Initial assessment Focused history and physical exam Detailed physical exam Ongoing assessment Patient assessment is a process, not a procedure. Scene Size Up Dispatch information Body Substance Isolation (BSI) Inner circle/outer circle Scene hazards Safety concerns Number of patients Additional resources needed
15 Scene Size Up, continued Body Substance Isolation (BSI) Assumes ALL body fluids present a possible risk for infection Latex or vinyl gloves must always be worn Eye protection if patient is coughing Mask (for yourself and the patient) Gown Scene Size Up, continued Potential Hazards Oncoming traffic Unstable surfaces Leaking gasoline Downed electrical lines Potential for violence Hazardous materials Scene Size Up, continued Number of Patients Determine the number of patients and their condition. Assess what additional resources will be needed. Triage to identify severity of each patient s condition.
16 Scene Size Up, continued Additional Resources Medical resources Additional units Advanced life support Non-medical resources Law enforcement Rescue / Special Teams Scene Size Up, continued Mechanism of Injury (MOI) Helps determine the possible extent of injuries on trauma patients. Guides preparation for care to patient. Suggests equipment that will be needed. Provides clues for further assessment. Scene Size Up, continued Mechanism of Injury (MOI) Helps determine the possible extent of injuries on trauma patients. Suggests equipment that will be needed. Provides clues for further assessment.
17 Scene Size Up, continued Nature of Illness (NOI) Search for clues to determine the nature of illness. Often described by the patient s chief complaint. Gather information from the patient and people on scene. Initial Assessment Develop a general impression based on mechanism of injury (MOI) and/or nature of illness (NOI). Assess airway, breathing, circulation. Assess mental status. Assess skin signs. Based on these signs alone, make a decision within 60 seconds. Initial Assessment, continued General Impression Occurs as you approach the scene and the patient Chief complaint Presenting signs and symptoms of patient C-spine immobilization
18 Initial Assessment, continued Obtaining Consent Introduce yourself. Ask patient s name. "Hi, my name is Jody and I'm with the fire department. Can I help you?" Initial Assessment, continued Chief Complaint Most serious problem voiced by the patient May not be the most significant problem present Initial Assessment, continued AIRWAY Look for signs of airway compromise: Two- to three- word dyspnea Use of accessory muscles Nasal flaring Labored breathing

Check interventions. 3 Communication and Documentation
31 3 Communication and Documentation Essential components of prehospital care: You must be able to find out what the patient needs and then tell others. Accurate records ensure continuity of patient care. You are a vital link between the patient and the health care team. 3 Components of an Oral Report Patient s name, chief complaint, nature of illness, mechanism of injury Summary of information from radio report Any important history not given earlier Patient s response to treatment The vital signs assessed Any other helpful information 3 Components of a Written Report Chief complaint Mental status Systolic BP (patients older than 3 years) Capillary refill (patients younger than 6 years) Skin color and temperature Pulse Respirations and effort
32 3 Components of a Written Report Time incident reported Time EMS unit notified Time EMS unit arrived on scene Time EMS unit left scene Time EMS unit arrived at facility Time that patient care was transferred 3 Communicating With Dispatch Report problems during run. Advise of arrival. Communicate scene size-up. Keep it brief. 3 Reporting Requirements Acknowledge dispatch information. Notify arrival at scene. Notify departure from scene. Notify arrival at hospital or facility. Notify you are clear of the incident. Notify arrival back in quarters.
33 3 Communicating with Medical Control Consult with medical control to: Notify hospital of incoming patient. Request advice or orders. 3 Communicating with Patients Make and keep eye contact. Use the patient s proper name. Tell the patient the truth. Use language the patient can understand. Be careful of what you say about the patient to others. 3 Communicating with Patients, cont'd Be aware of your body language. Always speak slowly, clearly, and distinctly. If the patient is hearing impaired, speak clearly and face him or her. Allow time for the patient to answer questions. Act and speak in a calm, confident manner.
34 3 Geriatric Patients Determine the person s functional age. Do not assume that an older patient is senile or confused. Allow patient ample time to respond. Watch for confusion, anxiety, or impaired hearing or vision. Explain what is being done and why. 3 Geriatric Patients Older patients may need a little more time to process your question. 3 Communicating with Children Allow people or objects that provide comfort to remain close. Explain procedures truthfully. Position yourself on their level.
35 3 Hearing-Impaired Patients Always assume that the patient has normal intelligence. Make sure you have a paper and pen. Face the patient and speak slowly, clearly and distinctly. Never shout! Learn simple phrases used in sign language. 3 Vision-Impaired Patients Ask the patient if he or she can see at all. Explain all procedures as they are being performed. If a guide dog is present, transport it also, if possible. 3 Non-English Speakers Use short, simple questions and answers. Point to specific parts of the body as you ask questions. Learn common words and phrases in the non-english languages used in your area.
