The Vortex model Supraglottic Rescue Surgical airway (Infraglottic rescue)
Best attempt face-mask ventilation • Optimal position (ear > sternum) • Head tilt chin lift jaw thrust • 2 handed BMV • Second person ventilates • High fresh gas flows (O2 flush) • Oro/Nasopharyngeal airway • Cricoid off
Best attempt endotracheal intubation • Best person in room • Best position (tragus >sternum) • Best blade (e.g., videolaryngoscope) • External laryngeal Manipulation (ELM) • Bougie or stylet (only1 blind attempt) • Consider muscle relaxant (if experienced) • Cricoid off
Best attempt LMA ventilation • Different type (e.g. Proseal™) • Different size • Insert under direct vision) • Insertion with jaw thrust • Pull tongue forward • Cricoid off • Consider muscle relaxant (if experienced)
How many attempts? • There is no ideal number of attempts for face mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation or LMA ventilation. • A best attempt: • may involve >1 attempt • is unlikely to be beneficial with >3 attempts
‘Transition’ protocol - CICO SUPRA-GLOTTIC RESCUE Continue Supraglottic rescue Consider waking patient Review again in 1 min TRANSITION Is this a CICO situation? NO • Best attempt at: • Face-mask ventilation? • LMA ventilation? • Endotracheal intubation? AND • Oxygen saturations falling or persistently low?
