Q

Once you get patient on OR table, what should you ask patient to do?

safe apnea time?

A

Go into sniffing position- makes sure they’re able to without pain/discomfort in neck.

Place monitors on, pre-induction vitals.

Pre-oxygenate

5 minutes of 100% FIO2 at >6L/min = 10 minutes of safe apnea time.

4 VC breaths in 30 seconds = 5 minutes of safe apnea time

  6. •Pre-induction medications
  7. •Lidocaine (+/-)/ Induction agent
  8. •Test Lash Reflex
  9. •Give Test ventilation
  10. •Check PNS working
  11. •Continue ventilating by mask
  12. •Paralytic drug
  13. •Continue ventilating by mask
  14. •Tape eyes closed
  15. •Continue ventilation until paralytic drug takes effect (loss of twitches)
  16. •Laryngoscopy and intubation
  17. •Inflate ETT cuff
  18. •Confirm ETT placement—bilateral breath sounds, chest rise and fall, presence of ETCO2 x 3 waveforms
  19. •Tape ETT

Q

What is RSI?

when is it used

what does it add/replace

A
  • Rapid sequence induction
  • airway mgmt technique that induces immediate unresponsiveness and muscular relaxation
  • fastest and most effective means of contorlling emergency airway
  • used in situation of full sotmachs-at risk for aspiration
    • pregnant
    • severe DM
    • uncontrolled acid reflux
    • hiatal hernia
    • trauma
  • Adds seliick’s maneuver and removes ventilation from standard induciton sequence

Q

RSI sequence?

22 steps

A
  1. •Identify patient in need of RSI
  2. •Pre-operative prophylaxis for aspiration
  3. • Bicitra/Reglan/Omeprazole/Pepcid or Zantac
  4. •Anxiolytic
  5. •Narcotic (avoid loss of consciousness to early)
  6. •Monitors on
  7. •Suction on and at head of bed
  8. •Supine-sniffing position
  9. •Pre-oxygenate
  10. •Sellick’s maneuver= cricoid pressure –gradually increase pressure as patient falls asleep
  11. •Induction agent
  12. •Succinylcholine or high dose Rocuronium
  13. •wait for fasciculation or 60 seconds (watch the clock- not the block) DO NOT VENTILATE!
  14. •Laryngoscopy
  15. •Tracheal intubation
  16. •Confirmation of correct placement
  17. •Give assistant permission to release cricoid pressure
  18. •Secure ETT
  19. •Ventilate or turn on ventilator
  20. •Tape eyes
  21. •Adjust flows
  22. •Begin maintenance anesthetic

Q

When can you extubate a patient?

A

when nearly fully awake or deeply anesthesized! no inbeween!

  • must evaluate relative risk of coughing vs obstruction vs aspiration when diciding b/w awake vs deep extubation
  • RSI must be awake!
  • plane 1 or plan 3, avoid plane 2
17
Q

Extubation criteria?

6

A
  1. TV >6 ml/kg
  2. VC> 10 mls/kg (won’t get if extubating deep)
  3. RR <30 breaths/min
  4. Sao2 >90%
  5. ETCO2 <50 -> except copd, asthmatics
  6. sustained tetanic contraction with PNS
18
Q

Nearly fully awake extubation sequence?

9

A
  1. •Muscle relaxant fully reversed and confirmed with PNS (if applicable)
  2. •All respiratory extubation criteria have been met
  3. •Anesthetic medications including volatile agents and infusions turned off
  4. •100% FiO2
  5. •Oropharynx suctioned
  6. •Patient is responsive to commands/purposeful movement
  7. •Sustained (5 second) head lift indicates clinically adequate reversal of NMB

  9. •ETT removed while positive pressure breath is given
19
Q

Deep extubation sequence?

9

20
Q

What is a laryngospasm?

how does it present

when is it seen?

5

A
  1. Prolonged, intense glottic closure
  2. may be present with high pitched squeak to total absence of sound (ominous sign)
  3. suprasternal and supraclavicular drawing in, increased diaphragmatic excursions, flailing of lower ribs resembling a “rocking horse”
  4. caused by contraction of lateral cricoarytenoids, thyroarytenoids, and cricothyroid muscle form stimulation of vagus nerve
  5. most often seen in induction/emergence
21
Q

What are some triggers for laryngospasms?

6

A
  1. Secretions (vomitus, blood, saliva)
  2. foreign body
  3. pain
  4. pelvic or abd visceral stimulation - vagal
  5. stimulating glottis in a light plane of anesthesia
  6. reactive airway dx
22
Q

How can you prevent larngospasm?

4

A
  1. Deep plane of anesthesia reached prior to sx stimulation
  2. either fully awake or deeply anesthetized with extubation
  3. suciton oropharynx prior to extubation
  4. remove ETT with positive pressure breath
23
Q

Layngospasm treatment?

A
  1. Recognize event!
  2. immediate removal of offending stimulus
  3. Larson maneuver, pressure for 3-5 seconds, release for 5-10 seconds
  4. admin 100% fio2 with continuous positive pressure
  5. deepen anesthetic (prop)
  6. small dose short acting muscle relaxant
    1. succ 20-40 mg
24
Q

Stage II anesthesia is dangerous because

A

highest risk for laryngospasm,

eyes will deviate

increase HR/BB

irregular RR, increase SNS STIM.

BREATH HOLDing, can be combative
