Week 2 airway Flashcards
Vent rates=
adult = 5-6 secs (10-12 per min)
infant/child w/ pulse 3-5 secs (12-20 per min)
4 methods of ventilation:
mouth to pocket mask, 2 person BVM, demand valve/FROPVD, 1 person BVM
Sniffing position=
pillow under head ear aligned with sternum (called sniffing bc/ way head recoils when you shift)
Ramped position=
for obese PTs, <LOTS>prepare a proper ramp (head and shoulder support) before transferring them to the ambulance.</LOTS>
Compressed gaseous oxygen is stored in an aluminum or steel tank in 400-liter (D), 660-liter (E), and 3,450-liter (M) volumes.
D tank life = (Tank pressure in psi X 0.16) / LPM
E tank life = (tank pressure in psi X 0.28) / LPM
M tank life = (tank pressure in psi X 1.56) / LPM
Therapy regulator=
used for delivering oxy to PTs→ default PSI 50
High pressure regulator=
used to transfer oxy at high pressures from tank to tank
Rules of 3s in optimal ventilation:
3 practitioners (1 on mask, 1 on bag, 1 one for ELM)
3 inches (elevate PT head 3 inches for sniffing position)
3 fingers ( 3 fingers on larynx to perform ELM)
3 PEEP ( or up to 15cm/H2O PEEP as need to improve oxy saturations)
Extraglottic Airway devices=
inserted blindly into esophagus
(ETC) esophageal tracheal combitube=
may enter trachea or esophagus
Laryngeal Mask airway (LMA)=
LMA-Supreme=
LMA-Fastrach=
1st laryngeal airway
Updated LMA
1st intubating airway designed to facilitate blind endotracheal intubation
Retroglottic airway devices=
king LT
King LT-D
King LTS-D
Pharyngo- tracheal lumen (PTL)=
King LT airway=
large silicone cuff; disperses pressure over large mucosal surface area
King LT-D Airway=
disposable single-lumen latex-free retro glottic airway
King LTS-D airway=
disposable single-lumen latex free retro glottic airway that also has a chanel for the placement of a gastric tube
Supraglottic Airway devices=
(above glottic opening)
laryngopharyngeal tube
I-Gel
laryngopharyngeal tube
(S.A.L.T)→ simple mechanical airway adjunct; blind endotracheal tube inducer
I-Gel Airway=
single use, mirrors natural anatomy, no inflatable cuff
Endotracheal Intubation=
inserting endotracheal tube into trachea, usually w/ direct visualization of vocal cords via direct laryngoscopy (optimal aspiration protection & ventilation
Laryngoscope Blades=
Curved bladed “Mac” → c curved Straight blades “Miller” → to Ls straight
Straight blades
Robert Shaw Fibre Optic Blades= designed for neonatal & infant use, available size 0 &1
Seward Fibre Optic Blades= designed for infant & PEDI use, available size 1 & 2
Wisconsin Fibre Optic Blades= designed for neonatal & infant use, available size 0,1,2,3,4
Avulse=
Dislodge
Eustachian (auditory) tubes=
ear tubes that connect to nasal cavity to help with balance of pressure on the tympanic membrane
Pharynx=
allows air to flow into & out of the respiratory tract & food/liquids to pass into the digestive system
divided into 3 regions: nasopharynx, oropharynx, & hypopharynx
Bronchioles=
are encircled with smooth muscle that contains -(B2) adrenergic receptors. When stimulated, these -(B2) receptors relax the bronchial smooth muscle, thus increasing the airway’s diameter
Alveoli=
membrane that is only 1 / 2 cell layers thick & is surrounded by a network of capillaries and responsible for gas exchange (02 & CO2)
Sufarctant=
Alveoli chemical lube
