  4. Airway

  5. Airway Pearls • Plan your Airway Intervention • Equipment • Team Briefing (Plan A, B and C) • ‘Checklist’ • Goal is to Oxygenate and Ventilate (not intubation) • Optimise Haemodynamics and Oxygenation Prior to induction • Anticipate a difficult airway (team brief as above) • A Neutral position is slightly flexed at the neck so put a towel or SAM splint behind the head

  6. ChecklistExample

  9. Drugs for RSI - Discussion • RSI is usual Technique for Trauma Intubation • Dose reduce Sedative Agent = Thiopentone (if used) 0.5mg – 2mg /kg (rather than 5mg/kg) • Consider Ketamine 1mg -2mg/kg or Midazolam 0.05mg – 0.1mg/kg • Fluid prior to induction may be appropriate (vasopressors are not usually appropriate) • May need to increase dose of Suxamethonium • Need to allow all drugs more time to act • Propofol is (generally) NOT recommended

  26. 5 Cs OF COMMUNICATION 1.Clarity Give and receive instructions & information (be specific, be succinct, avoid jargon, CLOSE LOOPS) 2.Coordination (use people’s names, confirm you hear instructions, relay information via leader) 3.Cohesion (clarify goals, share information, invite input, summaries and updates, acknowledge effort, speak calmly, use humour) 4.Concern to be freely expressed use graded assertiveness attention /enquiry /clarify /demand) 5.Conflict to be avoided/ managed (clarity, consensus, decision)

  27. GRADED ASSERTIVENESS 1. Bring to Attention: 2. Enquire (make an enquiry or offer an alternative as a suggestion): ”Are you going place an IV in that fractured arm?” 3. Clarify “ I feel uncomfortable about this, please explain what you are doing” 4. Demand a Response or Take Control of the Case: “ Sir you MUST LISTEN” KEY PHRASE “Stop – you must listen to me” Alternative Mnemonic **CUSS = ‘Concern’, ‘Unsure’, ‘Safety’, ‘STOP!’
