  8. Intubation plans and airway management

  9. Upper Airway Anatomy in Infants • Large head • Large tongue • High anterior larynx • Infant epiglottis long, floppy & U shaped • Funnel shaped larynx • Narrow trachea

  10. Airway Differences

  11. Positioning Adapted from Walls et al. Manual of Emergency Airway Management. 2nd Ed. 2004.

  12. Standard airway equipment • Oral airways size 000 – 4, nasopharyngeal airways • Face masks size 00 – 5, round + shaped • ETT uncuffed: 2.0 mm – 6.0 mm ID • ETT cuffed 3.0 mm – 7.5 mm ID • Laryngoscopes: Miller 00 - 3, Magill 1 and 2, Mcintosh 1 – 3 • Magill forceps large and small • Yankauer suckers large and small • Bougies 5Fr – 15Fr, Stylets 2mm – 5 mm • LMA’s size 1 – 4 • Needle cricothyrodotomy set • Tape to secure ETT

  13. Laryngoscope Blades • Straight blades are placed under the epiglottis and used to lift anteriorly to expose the cords. • Curved blades are placed in the valecula and lifted anteriorly to expose the cords. Miller Macintosh Wisconsin

  14. Endotracheal tube size • Newborn wt (kg) ETT ID (mm) Length at lip (cm) < 0.7 2.0 6 < 1.0 2.5 7 1.0 3.0 7.5 2.0 3.0 9 3.0 3.0 10.5 3.5 3.5 11 • 6 months 3.5 12 • Over 1 year: (Age in years/4) + 4 12+age/2 • Have one size smaller and larger

  15. Common Problems • Esophageal Intubation • Blade placed too deep, cords not visualized • Tongue obscures visualization • Sweep tongue to one side with blade • More anterior lift • Pull forward with Magill forceps • Cannot see cords • Head is hyper-extended – reposition • Leak on ETT compromising ventilation: upsize • Facial burn: use uncut ETT to allow for facial swelling

  16. Difficult Airways in Infants • Must always be prepared for something abnormal • Increasing awareness of problems beforehand because of neonatal ultrasound • “Things you can see” versus “Things you may find”

  17. Difficult Airways in Infants • Congenital malformations • “Things you can see” • Predictable from looking at the patient • Down’s syndrome • Cleft lip and palate • Pierre Robin syndrome • Treacher Collins syndrome • Goldenhar syndrome • Apert and Crouzon Syndrome

  18. Congenital Malformations • Cleft Lip and Palate • Most common congenital face malformation • Pierre Robin Sequence • Obstruction is usually at the nasopharyngeal level

  19. Congenital Malformations • Apert and Crouzon • Maxillary hypoplasia • Nasopharyngeal airway compromise • Goldenhar syndrome • Unilateral anomalies • Higher incidence of airway anomalies

  20. Congenital Malformations • Treacher Collins • Choanal atresia/stenosis more common • Down’s Syndrome • Large tongue • Subglottic stenosis more common • Remember atlantoaxial instability

  21. Difficult Neonatal Airways • Congenital or acquired malformations • “Things you may find” • Croup • Epiglottitis • Laryngomalacia • Hemangioma or Lymphangioma • Tracheal web • Laryngeal atresia • Subglotic stenosis

  22. Epiglottitis

  23. Congenital Malformations • Laryngomalacia • A sequence between fully formed to atresia

  24. Congenital Malformations • Laryngeal Web • Tracheal Atresia • Survive only if tracheoesophageal fistula or emergent tracheostomy

  25. Congenital Malformations • Hemangioma or Lymphangioma • Only about 30% present at birth • Get bigger in 1st year of life

  26. Congenital Malformations • Subglottic Stenosis • Can be acquired after prolonged / multiple intubations

  27. Unexpected difficult airway • Return to bag and mask ventilation • Call for help • Consider what problem is • What can be done differently at further attempts? Positioning Tongue Different blade Cricoid pressure Tilt blade tip forward Bougie / NGT guide Smaller size ETT • Can patient be supported awake with NIV? • NB: With every attempt at intubation airway will swell and become more difficult

  28. More recent adjuncts to difficult intubation Airtraq Glidescope

  29. Laryngeal mask airway Patient weight < 6.5 kg 6.5 – 20 kg 20 – 30 kg 30 – 70 kg 70 – 90 kg

  30. Ventilation and ventilatory adjuncts

  31. Indications for intubation1. Worsening respiratory distress 2. Progressive hypercapnia and/or hypoxia 3. Respiratory arrest / prolonged apnoea • Effort: rate, recession, noise, grunting, nasal flaring, accessory muscle use • Efficacy of breathing: • breath sounds, chest expansion • Effects of inadequate breathing: heart rate, skin colour, mental status

  32. Initial ventilation • Control significant ETT leak: upsize / throat pack • Set Pressure control level + PEEP or • Initial tidal volume 10 - 12 ml/kg • Set rate and inspiratory time • Neonate 30 - 60 bpm • Infant 25 - 40 bpm • Child 14 - 25 bpm • I : E ratio 1 : 3 to 1 : 1 • Avoid very short or > 50 % inspiratory time

  33. Aims clear secretions avoid / improve atelectasis improve V- Q matching Techniques saline lavage + suction chest percussion postural drainage consider re-recruitment Chest physiotherapy and suction

  34. sedation + muscle relaxation • Midazolam infusion 2 - 4 cg/ kg/ min 1mg / ml solution in glucose 5% not if < 6 months • Morphine 20 - 60 cg/ kg/ hr 1 mg / kg morphine in 50 ml Glucose 5 %, run at 1 - 3 ml/hr • Rocuronium 0.6 - 1 mg/ kg/ hr (neat solution) Alternatives: Atracurium, intermittent pancuronium

  35. monitoring Alveolar ventilation • chest movement • PaCO2 / ETCO2 • adjust TV or rate (VC) OR PIP or rate (PC) Oxygenation • SpO2 / PaO2 • adjust FiO2 or PEEP CXR

  36. Vascular access

  37. Think intra-osseus anterior tibial plateau, 2-3 cm below the tibial tuberosity

  38. Ultrasound guided central venous access SLA ‘hockey stick’ transducer

  39. bronchiolitis 1. Apnoeas • need for intubation, usually compliant lungs 2. Mixed picture • airway obstruction • copious secretions + atelectasis • diffuse pneumonitis • volume control/ guarantee ventilation, PEEP 5 – 10 cm H2O

  40. asthma Absolute indications for intubation • cardiac / respiratory arrest • severe hypoxia • deteriorating mental state Relative indication • progressive exhaustion Rare, high risk: CVS instability + barotrauma

  41. asthma • main problems  airway resistance + dynamic hyperinflation • use iv salbutamol  aminophylline and iv hydrocortisone, trial of Mg – sulphate • iv ketamine, inhalational anaesthesia • PCV / VCV low rate + long expiratory time, permissive hypercapnia • high PIP tolerable • PEEP below PEEPi • monitor blood electrolytes (K+)

  42. ARDS • Open lung approach with limited TV • Titrate PEEP ( 7 - 16 cm H2O) to FiO2 0.6 and SaO2 > 90%. I : E = 1 : 1 • PCV / PRVC, aim tidal volume 6 ml / kg. Maintain MV by  rate and allow permissive hypercapnia. • Cardiac support with volume  inotropes

  43. focal / unilateral lung disease • Place patient with affected side up postural drainage  V - Q mismatch recruitment affected lung • Avoid overdistention unaffected side limit PEEP accept relative hypoxia

  44. Head injuries

  45. Common causes • RTA: pedestrian cyclist passenger in car • Falls: toddlers teenagers • Non-accidental injury: < 1yr • Mechanism important

  46. Epidemiology • Mortality ± 25 - 30% • 40% of trauma deaths age 1-15 yrs • Trimodal distribution • At scene: airway obstruction bleeding head / spinal injury 2. First hours: all of above aspiration 3. Days - weeks: ARDS Sepsis MODS

  47. PRIMARY INJURY • SKULL # • LINEAR / STELLATE • (NON) – DEPRESSED • BASAL • PERIORBITAL ECCHYMOSES • HEMOTYMPANUM • BATTLE’S SIGN • CSF LEAK DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY • DURAL SAC TEARS • EXTRADURAL HAEMATOMA • SUBDURAL HAEMATOMA • SUBARRACHNOID HAEMATOMA CEREBRAL LACERATION / CONTUSION
