Q

causes of ineffective mask ventilation

A
  1. poor mask seal/not enough pressure
  2. soft tissue airway obstruction
  3. too much pressure in circuit
    • APL valve closed too much = hard to inflate lungs

Q

Difficult mask ventilation protocol step 5

A
  1. if LMA doesnt work, 2 options
    • if paralyzed w/Roc, try to intubate while assitant draws up reversing dose of sugammadex (16mg/kg)
    • if not paralyzed, wake them up (let propofol wear off)
