Pathophysiology (Cont)
Complete obstruction- physiologic response cyanosis patient distressed; unable to cough, speak, or breathe unconsciousness, apnea increased HR and BP bradycardia, asystole
GSACEP 2005
Basic Maneuvers
Supplemental oxygen
O2 never bad in emergency
Airway adjuncts
Keep It Simple
GSACEP 2005
Supplemental Oxygen
Indicated for any seriously ill or injured patient May vary oxygen concentration delivered by using various devices Use 100% O2 for any critical patient Provides oxygen reserve prior to intubation

Forcep Extraction
Preferred method in unconscious patient Direct visualization of foreign object with laryngoscope Removal of foreign body with Kelly or Magill forceps
GSACEP 2005
Suction
Used to clear blood, secretions, and particulate matter from the airway Most effectively and safely used under direct visualization
GSACEP 2005
Airway Adjuncts
Oropharyngeal airway
prevents tongue from falling onto pharynx and occluding airway use only in the unconscious patient can obstruct airway if improperly placed
Nasopharyngeal airway
may use in semi-conscious or unconscious patient
GSACEP 2005
Endotracheal Intubation

Preparation
Ensure all necessary equipment is ready and within easy reach Suction Oxygen/Bag Valve Mask Endotracheal tubes, one half size larger and smaller than anticipated
GSACEP 2005
Orotracheal Intubation
Preoxygenation
Denitrogenation of FRC 100% O2 for 5 minutes provides up to 5 minutes of complete apnea before desaturation < 90% 4 breaths at full vital capacity provide 60-80% of same effect Essential to eliminate bag valve mask ventilation of patient

Orotracheal Intubation
Technique: Tube Placement
tube insertion
insert tube into right side of mouth and watch it go through cords inflate balloon

Orotracheal Intubation
This is what is referred to aligning the airway axis as to cause optimization of visualization of the larynx and vocal cords. Remember to not head tilt if c-spine injury is suspected.
GSACEP 2005
Orotracheal Intubation
Sub optimal airway axis Alignment. Intubation Almost Impossible!
GSACEP 2005
Orotracheal Intubation
GSACEP 2005
Optimal airway axis alignment. Note the build up of support between the patients shoulders with towels. Compare with the previous slide.

Premedication
Defasiculation
Pancuronium or vecuronium 0.01 mg/kg rapid IV push May prevent succinylcholine associated fasciculation's May prevent increased intragastric, intracranial, and intraocular pressure
GSACEP 2005
Premedication
Lidocaine
Used to suppress cough reflex and increased intracranial pressure response in patients with head injury Dose: 1.5 mg/kg IV over 30-60 seconds
GSACEP 2005
Premedication
Atropine
Prevent succinylcholine induced bradycardia Pre-treat children < 8; adults if given repeat dose of succinylcholine Dose: 0.01 mg/kg IV push (min 0.2 mg)
GSACEP 2005
Sedation
Etomidate
Ideal agent for ED RSI: few hemodynamic effects, positive cerebro-protective effects Non-barbiturate sedative Rapid onset and offset Dose of 0.3 mg/kg IVP
GSACEP 2005
Sedation
Thiopental
Barbiturate- rapid acting, brief sedation Alternative in adult patients with head trauma who are hemodynamically stable Adverse effects: hypotension, respiratory depression Dose: 3-5 mg/kg IV push
GSACEP 2005
Sedation
Fentanyl
Potent narcotic analgesic with rapid onset and short duration Adverse effects- respiratory depression, chest wall rigidity if >10 ug/kg given rapidly Dose: 2-3 ug/kg at rate 1-2 ug/min; titrating to effect
GSACEP 2005
Sedation
Midazolam
Rapidly acting benzodiazepine with short duration of action and an amnestic effect Adverse effects: respiratory depression, hypotension Dose: 0.02-0.04 mg/kg
GSACEP 2005
Paralysis
Succinylcholine
Drug of choice for ED RSI Depolarizing paralytic agent, onset of paralysis in 1 minute, offset < 5 mins Adverse effects: muscle fasciculation's, hyperkalemia, vagal stimulation, and malignant hyperthermia Dose: 1.5 mg/kg IV push
GSACEP 2005
Paralysis
Always administer cricoid pressure prior to paralysis and continue until cuffed ET tube is in place and confirmed!
GSACEP 2005
Intubation
Always confirm ETT placement Auscultate over all lung fields (apices and axilla) and epigastrium Confirm CO2 return by colorimetry Post-intubation CXR
