Session 12: Extubation Process Flashcards
Extubation process
reversal
anti-emetics
analgesics
safety
PACU
Timing criteria
starting to close?
look for small/dainty stitches of Sub Q fat
Wait until Stage 1for ETT removal
Closing stitches
thick/dark: muscle
small/dainty: Sub Q fat
if you reverse too soon you can cause
hernia
hole in muscle
never extubate in what stage
stage 2
Stage 1
analgesia
Stage 2 signs
uncontrolled airway
disconjugate eyes
reactive coughing
Stage 3
surgical anesthesia
Stage 3 Plane 1
regular respirations
cessation of eyeball mvmt
lactimation
Stage 3 Plane 2
corneal reflex abolished
what happens when you try to breath post-laryngospasm
negative pressure pulmonary edema
Vital signs (7)
NBIP/ART
EKG
SpO2
CO2
RR
Temp
TOF
Capnography shows
CO2
respiratory rate
BP for wake-up
~ +/- 20% of baseline for pt
130-140 w/systemic disease
Pulse Ox for wakeup
95%+
EtCo2 for wakeup
35-45mmhg
narcosis EtCO2
55+ mmHg
Properly Resuscitated Criteria
stable HR
stable BP
pt is ready for wake up
Paralytic Reversal Criteria
peripheral nerve stimulation to verify
4/4 twitches (least paralysis)
0/4 twitches (most paralysis)
4/4 twitches
least paralysis
0/4 twitches
most paralysis
peripheral nerve stimulation locations
Ulnar (Adductor Pollicis)
Facial (Orbicularis Oculi)
Posterior Tibial (flexor hallucis brevis)
TOF
Train of Four monitoringT
TOF mode
4 twitches delivered every 0.5 seconds
Tetanic mode
sustained twitches at high frequency
Double-Burst mode
2 short bursts separated by 750 msec
amperage for TOF
60-80mA
use highest setting
TOF measures
the magnitude of twitches
compares 1st and 4th twitch
facial nerve functions
closes eyelid
furrows brow
posterior tibial nerve function
flexes big toe
ulnar nerve function
adducts thumb
what does 4/4 correlation tell you
that the 4th twitch was a strong as the first twitch
you could have up to 75% of NMJs still blocked w/paralytic
if you get a 0/4 reading, what should you do?
conduct at post-tetanic TOF
increase suggamadex dosing
Post tetanic TOF
hold 100mA (max) sustained contraction for 5s
then repeat normal TOF
what does a Post tetanic TOF do in the body?
tetaning floods NMJ w/ACh
ACh competes with paralytic for receptor
4/4 with fade
4 twitches
4th < 1st
4/4 at 25%
25% correlation between the 4th and 1st twitches
what % correlation will a 2/4 TOF be?
0%
you only have correlation with 1st and 4th twitches. If you have less than 4 twitches, you wont have a correlation.
Paralytic reversal criteria: clinical signs
sustained head lift > 5 secs
forced inspiratory pressure -25cmH20 (or more negative)
sustained hand grip
