Basic Emergency Airway Management
dhs wahyubroto. 1

Objectives
• Differentiate the Emergency Airway from elective intubation in the OR • Assessment of airway compromise • Indications for airway intervention • Recognition of the difficult airway • Bag-Mask Techniques • Laryngoscopy
dhs wahyubroto. 2

Emergency Airway Management : Unique Considerations
• Full stomach - high aspiration risk • Altered level of consciousness • Deteriorating cardiorespiratory physiology - (hypotension, hypoxia) • Abnormal or distorted upper airway anatomy • No time for “pre-op” assessment

Airway Assessment
• Assessment for airway compromise or threats and need for interventions • Examination for the potentially difficult airway

dhs wahyubroto.

The Three Pillars of Airway Management: ( Assessment of Compromises or Threats )

1 Patency of Upper Airway
– ( airflow integrity )

2 Protection against aspiration 3 Assurance of oxygenation and ventilation

dhs wahyubroto.

Indications for Active Airway Intervention: including intubation
• • • • Failure to maintain patency Protection from aspiration Hypoxic/ hypercapnic respiratory failure Airway access for pulmonary toilet, drug delivery,therapeutic hyperventilation • Intractable Shock • Anticipated clinical deterioration
dhs wahyubroto. 6

Indications for Intubation
• Is there failure of airway maintenance ? • Is there failure of airway protection ? • Is there failure of oxygenation or ventilation? • What is the anticipated clinical course ? (i.e., expected deterioration, long transport, long time in radiology, etc.)

Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise :

Threatened Patency
• • • • • Inspiratory stridor Snoring ( pharyngeal obstruction ) Gurgling ( blood/ secretions ) Drooling ( epiglottitis ) Hoarseness ( laryngeal edema/ vocal cord paralysis) • Paradoxical chest wall movement • Tracheal tug • Mass - abscess, hematoma, angioedema dhs wahyubroto.

Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise:

Inadequate Protection
• • • • Blood in upper airway Pus in upper airway Persistent vomiting Loss of protective airway reflexes
– swallowing reflex is superior to gag reflex

Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise: Oxygenation and Ventilation
• • • • • • Central cyanosis Obtundation and diaphoresis Rapid shallow respirations Accessory muscle use Retractions Abdominal paradox

10

Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise: Oxygenation and Ventilation
• The assessment of oxygenation and ventilation is a clinical one. • Arterial blood gases should not be relied upon to assess whether intubation is necessary.
dhs wahyubroto. 11

Techniques for the Compromised Airway
• • • • • • Head Positioning Jaw Thrust, Chin lift Orophryngeal/ Nasopharyngeal airways Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation Endotracheal Intubation Advanced techniques
– Cric, LMA, Combitube, Retrograde, Fibreoptic, Light wand, Bouge

The Difficult Airway
• Difficult Laryngoscopy
– poor visualization of cords

• Difficult bag-mask ventilation
– unable to oxygenate or ventilate

• Lower airway difficulty
– severe bronchospasm
dhs wahyubroto. 13

Golden Rules of Bagging
• “ Anybody ( almost ) can be oxygenated and ventilated with a bag and a mask “ • The art of bagging should be mastered before the art of intubation • Manual ventilation skill with proper equipment is a fundamental premise of advanced airway Rx
dhs wahyubroto. 14

BVM Ventilation
• The most important airway skill • Always the first response to inadequate oxygenation and ventilation • The first “bail-out” maneuver to a failed intubation attempt • Attenuates the urgency to intubate • Do not abandon bagging unless it is impossible with two people and both an OP and NP airway dhs wahyubroto. 15

BVM Ventilation
• Requires practice to master • One hand to
– maintain face seal – position head – maintain patency

• Other hand ventilates

dhs wahyubroto.

16

BVM Ventilation: Technique
• • • • Insert oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal “Sniffing”position if C-spine OK Thumb + index to maintain face seal Middle finger under mandibular symphysis • Ring/little finger under angle of mandible • Maintain jaw thrust/mouth open
dhs wahyubroto. 17

Predictors of a Difficult Airway : BVM
• • • • • • Upper airway obstruction Lack of dentures Beard Midfacial smash Facial burns, dressings, scarring Poor lung mechanics
– resistance or compliance
dhs wahyubroto. 18

Difficult Airway : BVM
• degree of difficulty from zero to infinite • Zero = no external effort or internal device required • one person jaw thrust/ face seal • oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal AW • two person jaw thrust / face seal – both internal airway devices • Infinite = no patency despite maximal external effort and full use of OP/NP
dhs wahyubroto. 19

Algorithm for Difficulty “Bagging”
• Remove Foreign Bodies - Magill forceps • Triple maneuver if c-spine clear – Head tilt, jaw lift, mouth opening • Nasal or oropharyngeal airways • Two-person, four-hand technique

dhs wahyubroto.

20

BVM Ventilation: Mask Seal Tips and Pearls
• Easier to get seals with masks too large than too small • Inflate mask collar correctly • Apply lubricant to beards to “mat down” hair • If edentulous insert gauze sponges into cheeks
dhs wahyubroto. 21

Prediction of the Difficult Airway: Laryngoscopy
• History of past airway problems
– check previous OR anesthesia records if time permits – cricothyroidotomy scar

• Careful physical assessment
– – – – mouth opening tongue to pharyngeal size hyo-mental distance Neck flexion, Head extension
dhs wahyubroto. 22

Technique of Laryngoscopy
• “Sniffing” position to align oralpharyngeal-laryngeal axis • Flex neck by placing pillow beneath occiput ( raise 10 cm ) • Extend head maximally • With laryngoscope
– open mouth fully – push tongue to left out of view – pull upward at 45 degrees

Adducted vocal cords

25

Predictors of Difficult Laryngoscopy
• • • • Short thick neck Receding mandible Buck teeth Poor mandibular mobility/ limited jaw opening • Limited head and neck movement
– ( including trauma )
dhs wahyubroto. 26

Difficult Airway : Laryngoscopy
• • • • • Tumor, abscess or hematoma Burns Angioneurotic edema Blunt or penetrating trauma Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis • Congenital syndromes • Neck surgery ordhs wahyubroto. radiation

27

Predictors of Difficult Laryngoscopy
• • • • • • 3 fingerbreadths mentum to hyoid 3 fb chin to thyroid notch 3 fb upper to lower incisors Head extension and neck flexion Mallampati/mallimpadi classification Previous history of difficult intubation
dhs wahyubroto. 28

Mallimpadi Classification (Tongue to Pharyngeal Size)
• I - soft palate, uvula, tonsillar pillars visible
– 99 % have grade I laryngoscopic view

• II - soft palate, uvula visible • III - soft palate, base of uvula • IV - soft palate not visible
– 100% grade III or grade IV views
dhs wahyubroto. 29

The 4 D’s of Difficult Intubation
• Distortion
– ( edema, blood, vomitus, tumor, infection)

• Dysmobility of joints
– ( TMJ, alanto-occipital, C-spine)

• Disproportion
– thyomental, Mallimpadi, etc

• Dentition
– prominent upper teeth
dhs wahyubroto. 30

Unsuccessful Intubation
• • • • • • • • • Bag the patient Maximize neck flex/ head ex Move tongue out of line of site Maximize mouth opening ID landmarks and adjust blade BURP maneuver Increasing lifting force Consider Miller blade Bag the patient
