  4. UPPER AIRWAY

  5. LOWER AIRWAY

  6. AIRWAY MANAGEMENT NOW WHAT!?

  7. AIRWAY MANAGEMENT • OPEN THE AIRWAY

  9. JAW THRUST • IF TRUAMA IS SUSPECTED • MAINTAIN SPINE IN NEUTRAL POSITION

  10. ADJUNCTS

  11. OPA • IF PATIENT DOES NOT HAVE GAG REFLEX • MEASURE FROM CORNER OF MOUTH TO BASE OF EAR • BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE SOFT TISSUE

  14. NPA

  15. KING LT(S)-D • THE KING LT(S)-D IS A DISPOSABLE SUPRAGLOTTIC AIRWAY WITH GASTRIC ACCESS

  16. KING LT(S)-D

  17. KING LT(S)-D SPECS SIZE COLOR PT Ht CUFF INFLATION 3 YELLOW 4-5FT 45-60mL 4 RED 5-6FT 60-80mL 5 PURPLE >6FT 70-90mL

  18. KING LT(S)-D • PLEASE REVIEW OUR PROTOCOLS FOR THE KING LT(S)-D

  19. THE ADVANCED AIRWAYS • ET TUBES

  20. ET - TUBE CHECK LIST: • ETT of proper size • Syringe to inflate balloon • Laryngoscope • Two ways to confirm placement • Twill tape • BVM • Alternate airway

  21. Intubation Kit

  23. Who and When • Patients who cannot maintain or protect their airway • Hypoxic or apneic patients

  25. Where • On the cot, in a car, dimly lit, on the floor, in the rain.. • Is the Pt wearing a C-Collar

  26. Why and How • Why is easy: To oxygenate the Pt • How: • Doing things the easiest, safest and most efficient way possible

  27. DIFFICULT AIRWAYS

  28. DIFFICULT AIRWAYS • TRUAMA • BLOOD • FOREIGN BODY AIRWAY OBSTRUCTIONS • MUCOUS • MALLAMPATI SCALE
