AIRWAYS midterm Flashcards
% of normal mouth opening due to initial opening action
50
% of normal mouth opening due to last opening
50
actions of effort closure
valsalva
airway mgmt of edentulous
oral airway, pull skin to mask
anatomic location of nasal airway
tip through vestibule, direct it 90 degrees to long axis
angles of mainstem bronchi
R=20 / L=40
articulation of C2
dens to C1
atlanto-occipital gap normal value
35 degrees
calculation, time constant, pre-ox
3 time constants = 95% change. This is the typical end-point used in medicine. Time constant = volume (FRC)/ flow (VA = (tidal volume _ dead space) x respiratory rate).
cervical level of cricoid cartilage
C6
compoinets of the nasal septum
perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer, septal cartilage
cranial nerve- sensory innervation of face
trigeminal
cuneiform cartilages function
open glottis, spring-like action
definition of micrognathia
small mandible
definition of overjet
increased horizontal distance bt max and mand central incisors
desat, FRC, weight
VO2 = kg^0.75; minutes to hypoxia = FRC/VO2; so the more a patient weighs the less time they have before they start to desaturate.
describe thyrohyoid membrane
Thyroid cartilage is attached to hyoid bone by thyrohyoid membrane
digits applying pressure to mask during bag/mask
thumb, index
DL, axial alignment
sheets=laryngeal, sniffing=pharyngeal, DL=oral
ETT connector
15mm OD tapered
ETT taping
zygomatic
Eustachian tube
connects nasal cavity to middle ear, maintain pressure in ear
