Q

Too small airway

A

tip will line up well above the AOM and exacerbate airway obstruction by kinking the tongue

too short: may rest against the base of the tongue, forcing it posteriorly against the roof of the mouth, further aggravating airway obstruction

Q

Steps for deep extubation

A
  1. Inspect & suctioning the upper airway meticulously (direct vision under layngoscopy)
  2. Make sure they are deep: at least 1 MAC
  3. NO response to suctioning of the oral cavity and hypopharynx.
  4. established, more or less ‘normal’ spontaneous respiratory pattern and rate
  5. Consider nasopharyngeal airway (better tolerated than oral)
  6. Pre-oxygenate
  7. Extubate, turn off the gas; give high flow O2
  8. Maintain airway patency: In most patients you will initially require basic airway maneuvers to maintain airway patency

Q

It is very common, even for adequately anesthetized patients, to breath-hold for a brief period immediately after ‘deep’ extubation.
Wyd?

A

Do not rush into administering bag-mask ventilation!
Since you have pre-oxygenated your patient, it should be safe to wait at least 40 seconds or so for spontaneous breathing to resume while maintaining airway patency and providing 100% oxygen insufflation.

A

False
1 MAC of Sevo causes more

119
Q

How does a dose of 0.5-1.5 MAC sevoflurane affect the airway?

A

decreases cross-sectional area of the airway by 1/3 mostly anteroposteriorly (pharyngeal wall collapse)

easily offset with PEEP

120
Q

T/F:
most drugs or inhalation agents contribute to upper airway obstruction

A

True

decrease muscle tone of the upper airway = UAO = more labored breathing, fatigue, and subsequent apnea

121
Q

T/F:
Propofol narrows the upper airway but it may still remain patent

A

True
narrows it the hypopharyngeally especially

higher doses may obstruct

122
Q

T/F:
Airways effects of higher propofol doses may cause UAO, but it reverses on emergence.

A

True

123
Q

Which agent can cause UAO via direct inhibition of genioglossus muscle

A

Prop

124
Q

Prop has these 3 effects on the airway that contribute to UAO

A

direct inhibition of:
genioglossus muscle, centrally mediated airway dilatation, & airway reflexes

125
Q

T/F:
ketamine does not cause airway obstruction, but midazolam does

A

True

126
Q

An IV Versed dose of ____ is enough to cause central apnea & UAO by reducing pharyngeal muscle tone

A

0.1 mg/kg

127
Q

Children sedated with Versed for dental procedures are at higher risk for UAO. Why?

A

mouth opening may increase upper airway collapse

(Versed reduces pharyngeal muscle tone)

128
Q

T/F:
Dexmedetomidine does not tend to cause UAO in OSA and non-OSA

A

True
always take precautions ofc

129
Q

The tongue is a larger contributor of UAO in which age group

A

infants & neonates

the tongue may still contribute to obstruction in all ages

130
Q

obstruction in older children is more likely d/t

A

nasopharynx and epiglottis collapse

infants and neonates is most likely tongue

131
Q

Obstruction of the extrathoracic upper airway can occur with…

A

epiglottitis,
laryngotracheobronchitis,
or an extrathoracic foreign body

132
Q

T/F:
Airway obstruction during anesthesia/LOC is mostly from the tongue against the posterior pharyngeal wall.

A

False!
more likely loss of muscle tone in the pharyngeal and laryngeal structures

133
Q

sniffing position

A

Extension of the head at the atlantooccipital joint with anterior displacement of the cervical spine

134
Q

The sniffing position improves hypopharyngeal airway patency but does not reposition the tongue. This tells us that…

A

upper airway obstruction is not primarily caused by changes in tongue position but rather by collapse of the pharyngeal structures.

135
Q

OPA sizing
too small vs too large

A
  • too large: tip posterior to AOM and obstruct the glottic opening by pushing the epiglottis down
  • too small: tip above AOM and exacerbate airway obstruction by kinking the tongue
