Anatomy and Physiology
The airways can be divided in to parts namely:
The upper airway.
The lower airway.
![Page 4: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Upper Airway
![Page 5: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Lower Airway
![Page 6: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Advantages of Endotracheal Intubation
Cuffed E.T tubes protect the airway from aspiration.
E.T tube provides access to the tracheobronchial tree for suctioning of secretions.
E.T tube does not cause gastric distention and associated danger of regurgitation.
E.T tube maintains a patent airway and assists in avoiding further obstruction.
E.T tube enables delivery of aerosolized medication.

Indications for Intubation
Inadequate oxygenation(decreased arterial PO2) that is not corrected by supplemental oxygen via mask/nasal.
Inadequate ventilation (increased arterial PCO2).
Need to control and remove pulmonary secretions.
Any patient in cardiac arrest.
![Page 8: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Indications for Intubation
Ant patient in deep coma who cannot protect his
airway.(Gag reflex absent.).
Any patient in imminent danger of upper airway
obstruction (e.g. Burns of the upper airways).
Any patient with decreased L.O.C, GCS <= 8.
Severe head and facial injuries with
compromised airway.

Indications Cont…
Any patient in respiratory arrest Respiratory failure
Hypoventilation/Hypercarbia Paco2 > 55mmhg
Arterial hypoxemia refractory to O2 Paco2 < 70 on 100% O2
![Page 10: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Contraindications for Intubation
Patients with an intact gag reflex. Patients likely to react with laryngospasm
to an intubation attempt. e.g. Children with epiglottitis.
Basilar skull fracture – avoid naso-tracheal intubation and nasogastric/pharyngeal tube.
![Page 11: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Complications Associated With Intubation
Trauma of the teeth, cords, arytenoid cartilages, larynx
and related structures.
Nasotracheal tubes can damage the turbinates, cause
epistaxis, and even perforate the nasopharyngeal
mucosa.
Hypertension and tachycardia can occur from the
intense stimulation of intubation; This is potentially
dangerous in the patient with coronary heart disease.
Transient cardiac arrhythmias related to vagal
stimulation or sympathetic nerve traffic may occur .

Complications Continued…
Damage to the endotracheal tube cuff, resulting in a cuff leak and poor seal.
Intubation of the esophagus, resulting in gastric distention and regurgitation upon attempting ventilation.
Baro-trauma resulting from over ventilating with a bag without a pressure release valve( phneumothorax).
![Page 13: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Complications Continued…
Over stimulation of the larynx resulting in laryngospasm, causing a complete airway obstruction.
Inserting the tube to deep resulting in unilateral intubation (right bronchus).
Tube obstruction due to foreign material, dried respiratory secretion and/or blood.

Technique of Endotracheal Intubation
![Page 21: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Technique Cont…
Position the patient supine, open the airway with a head-tilt chin-lift maneuver.(Suspected spinal injury, attempt naso-tracheal intubation, spine in neutral position.).
Open mouth by separating the lips and pulling on upper jaw with the index finger.
Hold laryngoscope in left hand, insert scope into mouth with blade directed to right tonsil.
Once right tonsil is reached, sweep the blade to the midline keeping the tongue on the left.
![Page 22: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Technique Cont…
This brings the epiglottis into view.” DO NOT LOOSE SIGHT OF IT!”
Advance the blade until it reaches the angle between the base of the tongue and epiglottis.( volecular space)
Lift the laryngoscope upwards and away from the nose – towards the chest. This should bring the vocal cords into view. It may be necessary for a colleague to press on the trachea to improve the view of the larynx.
Place the ETT in the right hand. Keep the concavity of the tube facing the right side of the mouth.
Insert the tube watching it enter through the cords.
![Page 23: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Technique Cont…
Insert the tube just so the cuff has passed the cords and then inflate the cuff.
Listed for air entry at both apices and both axillae to ensure correct placement using a stethoscope.
![Page 24: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rules of Intubation
Always have a suction unit available. An intubation attempt should never exceed
30 seconds. Oxygenate the patient pre and post
intubation with a bag-valve-mask.(100% O2). Have sedative medication available if
needed. (e.g. Midazolam 15mg/3ml) Always recheck tube placement manually
guided by oxygen saturation readings.(Spo2).

Tube sizes
Newborn – to 4 kg - 2.5 mm (uncuffed). 1-6 months 4-6 kg – 3.5 mm (uncuffed). 7-12 months 6-9 kg – 4.0 mm (uncuffed). 1 year 9 kg – 4.5 mm (uncuffed). 2 years 11 kg – 5.0 mm (uncuffed). 3-4 years 14–16 kg - 5.5 mm (uncuffed). 5-6 years 18–21 kg – 6.0 mm (uncuffed). 7-8 years 22-27 kg – 6.5 mm ( uncuffed).
![Page 26: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tube Sizes 9-11 years 28-36 kg – 7.0 mm(cuffed). 14 to adults 46+ kg – 7.0 – 80 mm (cuffed). Adult female 7.0 – 8.0mm (cuffed). Adult male 7.5 – 8.5 mm (cuffed). The size of the tube may also be determined by
the size of the patients little finger.
Patients below the age of 8 require uncuffed ETT due to damage caused by the cuff in younger
patients. Always monitor the ECG activity during intubation.

4 Rules of Suctioning
Never suction further than you can see.
Always suction on the way out.
Never suction for longer than15 seconds.
Always oxygenate the patient before and
after suctioning.
![Page 28: Advanced Airway Management & Intubation The Difference Between Life and Death](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d615503460f94a43799/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Conclusion
Always oxygenate patient before and after intubation.
Do not attempt intubation unless you are totally skilled, rather perform bag-valve-mask ventilation.
Always monitor the sPO2 readings. Always reconfirm tube placement from
time to time.
