Respiratory System Physiology
Ventilation ~ gas exchange system
Oxygen is diffused into the bloodstream for cellularmetabolism
Waste products including carbon dioxide, are eliminatedfrom the body via respiratory system
Pathophysiology
Related to:
Ventilation
Air in and air out
Diffusion (cellular respiration)
Gas exchange between the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries
Gases move from areas of high concentration to areas of
low concentration to maintain homeostasis andequilibrium
Perfusion
Adequate circulating blood through the capillary bed
![Page 9: Bringing It All Into View - JOHN MOHLERjohnmohler.com/documents/N. Lyon Co. Refresher documents/Hand… · Bringing It All Into View Airway Management Strategies For the Rest of Us](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040607/5ec23270dd79d74e71559d0e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Ventilation
Air movement
Depends on:
Neurological control
Intact nervous system between the brain stem and respiratorymuscles
Healthy diaphragm and intercostal muscles
Patent upper airway
Functional lower airway
Healthy and functional alveoli (surfactant, adequate expansion)
Diffusion
Gas exchange between alveoli and pulmonary capillaries

Pragmatic AirwayResuscitation Trial
(PART)
Compared Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) airway managementusing supra-glottic airway device (SGA) or endotracheal intubation (ETI).
27 EMS agencies from five metropolitan areas in U.S.
Randomized clinical trial
Compared King LT (1,505 pts) vs ETI (1,499 pts) in adult non-traumaOHCA patients over 23 months 2015-2017.
Providers were allowed to perform “rescue” airway management usingKing LT, BVM, ETI, or cricothyrotomy.
One specific airway was used for 3-6 months then the agency switched tothe other device as primary.
Outcomes
Primary outcome was survival to 72hours post arrest.
Secondary outcomes were:
ROSC at arrival to hospital;surviving till discharge.
Neurologically favorablesurvival to discharge.
Conclusion

Indications For Intubation
The decision to intubate should be based on threefundamental clinical assessments:
1. Is there a failure of airway maintenance or protection?
2. Is there a failure of ventilation or oxygenation?
3. What is the anticipated clinical course?
Manual of Emergency Airway Management, 4th EditionWalls, RM, Ed. Philadelphia, Lippincott 2012
Is there a failure of airway maintenance orprotection?
Conscious and alert patients use upper airway musculatureand protective reflexes to protect from aspiration and maintainairway patency.
Clear, unobstructed phonation is strong evidence of intactprotective reflexes maintaining a patent airway.
As a rule, any patient who needs an adjunctive airway placedneeds his/her airway protected.
The gag reflex does not correlate well with airwayprotection and is of little clinical value when assessing theneed for intubation. ENT studies show swallowing to bemuch more predictive of ability to manage/maintainairway patency.
![Page 13: Bringing It All Into View - JOHN MOHLERjohnmohler.com/documents/N. Lyon Co. Refresher documents/Hand… · Bringing It All Into View Airway Management Strategies For the Rest of Us](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040607/5ec23270dd79d74e71559d0e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
10/24/2018
13
Is there a failure of ventilation or oxygenation?
o Oxygenation of the vital organs (brain, heart, lungs) is theprimary function of the respiratory system.
o If your patient is unable to ventilate or oxygenate sufficientlydespite use of supplemental oxygen, then intubation is indicated.
o EXAMPLES:
o Status asthmaticus- why?
o COPD exacerbation with upward trending EtCO2 - why?
o Severe pulmonary edema after CPAP/BiPAP- why?
o Severe hypovolemic shock with inability to maintain perfusion- why?
Correcting Hypoxia
o Correct rate and tidal volume (BVM) rate x Vt = Min Vol
o Increase percentage of O2 delivery (FiO2)
o NPPV (increase PEEP/FRC via CPAP or BiPAP)
o Pharmacology- Beta agonists, Catecholamines, MgSO4
o PPV, intubation, mechanical ventilation
What is the anticipated clinical course?
Most patients that require intubation have one or multipleindications discussed above, however. . .
There is one group of patients that may not immediately exhibitinability to maintain airway patency, loss of protective reflexes, orinability to oxygenate or ventilate.
Those patients whose clinical course is expected to deteriorate,or showing downward trending appearance should be stronglyconsidered for “pre-emptive” and proactive intubation.
![Page 14: Bringing It All Into View - JOHN MOHLERjohnmohler.com/documents/N. Lyon Co. Refresher documents/Hand… · Bringing It All Into View Airway Management Strategies For the Rest of Us](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040607/5ec23270dd79d74e71559d0e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Those patients who are expected to deteriorate due toworsening clinical condition or fail to oxygenate because ofcatastrophic illness or injury should be intubated early!
EXAMPLES:
Stab wound to the neck with a hematoma
Airway burns with signs of impending airwaycompromise.
Traumatic brain injuries with signs of herniation.
Sepsis with respiratory fatigue and ARDS.

Difficult Airway Algorithm
Always have equipment ready prior to intubation attempt,especially with anticipated difficult airways.
Have rescue supraglottic airways ready (King, LMA,iGel)
Be prepared with BVM and ready to assist ventilations.
If unable to oxygenate, ventilate, or successfully intubatewithin 3 attempts (by most experienced intubator), thenyou have moved to the FAILED AIRWAY algorithm.
Failed Airway Algorithm
ALL AIRWAYS END IN ONE OF TWO WAYS:
Successful intubation
Failed airway algorithm
This is the EXPERIENCED bad airway
It is important to understand that to experience a failedairway does not mean you have failed the patient!

27
The Rules
Stay calm and maintain your focus.
Prepare for the worst.
Have a plan.
Make sure everyone knows the plan.
Have an alternate plan.
Remember the 7 P’s.
Inability to intubate is not a failure! Inability to ventilate andoxygenate is!
The Bottom Line
Ventilation and oxygenation arethe TOP priorities.
Patients do not die or suffer braindamage because you do not orcannot intubate them . .
Patients die or suffer braindamage because you cannot, or donot ventilate and oxygenate them.
AirwayManagement DoesNOT NecessarilyMean Intubation

Know Your Tools
WARNING! Objects in the mirrorare closer that they appear!
Useful Strategies
Passive oxygenation
Placing a NRB at 15 LPM on your patient a few minutes priorto your intubation attempt.
Then place a nasal cannula at 15-25 LPM while you areintubating and until the ETT is placed, verified withcapnography, and secured.
Minimal amounts of PEEP /Functional Residual Capacity(FRC) are established, and studies validate the lengthening ofdesaturation times by up to two minutes.
Passive Oxygenation

Considerations
Delayed Sequence Intubation (DSI)
Many patients may require some sort of resuscitation and/orprior oxygenation prior to any sort of intubation or RSI/med-assisted attempt.
This may be due to chronic lung disease, trauma, or combativebehavior where they will not tolerate oxygenation with a NRBor NC immediately prior to intubation.
RSI or med-assisted intubation is then performed as usual.

S
Not So Rapid SequenceIntubation
It’s All in the Wrist!
Definition:
“Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is the administration,after preoxygenation, of a potent induction agent followedimmediately by a rapidly acting neuromuscular blockingagent to induce unconsciousness and motor paralysis fortracheal intubation.”
Ron M. Walls, MD, Michael F. Murphy, MDManual of Emergency Airway Management, Fourth Ed, Lippincott Williams &Wilkins, 2012
In other words, the purpose of RSI is to render the patientunconscious and paralyzed and then to intubate the tracheawithout the use of bag-mask ventilation (whenever possible*),which may cause gastric distention and increase the risk ofaspiration.

If Only It Was That Simple!
When to Consider RSILet’s compare these next few slides to “Medication-
assisted” intubation
When an emergency intubation is indicated and the patientdoes not have difficult airway features that contraindicateuse of NMBA’s.
L.E.M.O.N. assessment
Large tongue, small mandible, large teeth, short neck
Obesity (BMI does not correlate to predict difficulty)***
Small mouth opening***
Poor 3-3-2 assessment***
Obstruction: muffled voice, difficulty swallowing secretions,stridor, sensation of dyspnea
DifficultyPredictors
• C-spine immobilization
• Short, thick neck
• Facial hair (beard)
• Prominent upper incisors
• Face, neck, oral trauma
• Airway edema
• Laryngeal trauma
• High palate
• Dentures

The Seven P’s of RSITimed Sequence of Events for a Healthy 80-kg Patient
1. Preparation Zero minus 10 minutes
2. Preoxygenation Zero minus 5 minutes
3. Pretreatment Zero minus 3 minutes
4. Paralysis with induction Zero
5. Positioning Zero plus 20-30 seconds
6. Placement with proof Zero plus 45 seconds
7. Postintubation management Zero plus 1 minute
It is important to mention the often lowsuccess rates of prehospital RSI,
sometimes 50% of first pass success, especially with acompressed timeline
Preparation
Thorough assessment fordifficulty of intubation
Monitoring equipment
Checklist, checklist, checklist
IV access x 2
Equipment checked and prepped

Preoxygenation
• No bag-mask ventilationwhenever possible
• Nitrogen washout, increasingfunctional residual capacity(FRC) 30 ml/kg
• NC at 10+ lpm + NRB
• 3 minutes or greater
• 8 vital capacity breaths if pt. able
Pretreatment
Asthma (reactive airway disease)
Brain (elevated ICP)
Cardiovascular (ischemia,
vascular disease, aorta, ICH)
Meds administered 3 minutesprior to induction/paralysis.
Paralysis with Induction
Rapid IVP of induction agent
Etomidate
Ketamine*
Followed immediately by rapidIVP of NMBA
Succinylcholine
Rocuronium
• Be prepared for untoward effectsfrom rapid administration ofinduction agents* with criticaland hypotensive patients.
• Sepsis, extremely dyspneic, andhypotensive patients may likelydeteriorate!
• Consider preparation and useof push-dose pressors in thesesituations
• Consider Delayed SequenceIntubation (DSI) to achieveMAP > 80 mmHg

Positioning
Spinal immobilizationprecautions- open the collar
Obesity
Peds- sniff position
Placement with Proof
20-40 seconds after Ketamine
Check jaw flaccidity. Massetermuscle is last to relax.
Intubate
If adequate preoxygenation wasachieved, you should haveseveral minutes of safe apneatime.
Post-intubation Management
Confirm proper depth and securethe ETT with a commercialdevice. Check after every move.
Secure head in neutral midlineposition. Elevate 15-30 degrees asnecessary, especially w CHI
Initiate mechanical ventilation
Administer sedation q 10minutes or prn

Post-intubation Management
• Hypotension following intubation and ventilation mayoccur due to combined effects of induction meds andincreased intrathoracic pressure.
• While it may be temporary or respond to fluids, alwaysconsider a more significant cause.
• More than 10 seconds of hypotension with MAP < 90mmHg or hypoxia doubles mortality in brain traumapatients!
• Remember restraints, analgesia, and continuous sedation.
Desaturation Considerations
Be prepared, use most experience intubator andPREOXYGENATE!
Term pregnant women desaturate < 95% in less than 3minutes compared to non-pregnant. Positioning does notfavorably affect the duration of apneic oxygenation in termpregnancy.
Obese patients are similar, and desaturate quickly! Why?
Preoxygenating MorbidlyObese Patients
25%+ elevation head upposition for the entireprocedure
Oxygenation with a highflow nasal cannula 10+LPM maintained till ETTposition is confirmed withcapnography may increasedesaturation time < 92% to3.5 minutes.

Causes of Post-RSIHypotension
Pneumothorax
Decreased venous return
Induction and sedation agents - iatrogenic
Cardiogenic causes: AMI, ischemia, poor baselinecondition, synergistic effect of induction meds withcardiac meds.
