Shock
T or F: cancel airway management when difficulty arise
False. It is not an option.
When difficult arise in intubation, do…
Awake intubation
Of unsuccessful ventilation after gen anes
Standard: awake is always an option
Trauma: seldom an option
If surgical airway decision
Standard: only if awake intubation failed/ failed ventilation
Trauma: first and best choice
If management of recognized diff airway
Standard: awake ventilation
Trauma: only if uncoop, stable and spont. ventilating
If failed awake ventilation
Standard: cancel is an option
Trauma: requires gen anes with or without spont. ventilation

Patho physio of cardiac tamponade
Decrease blood return to the heart
Patho physio of hemorrhage
Decrease O2 carrying capacity
Decrease intravascular vol
