Case PresentationCase Presentation
Patient = 69-year-old man, smoker (4 packs/day) PMHx = severe COPD CC = severe shortness of breath;
“hungry for air!” VS = not obtained; patient suddenly
becomes unresponsive

Learning and Skills ObjectivesLearning and Skills Objectives
Describe ACLS Approach (Primary and Secondary ABCD Surveys) in CPR
Describe and demonstrate the “airway hierarchy”:• Supplemental oxygen:
– Nasal cannulae– Face masks
• Noninvasive airway devices:– Nasopharyngeal airway– Oropharyngeal airway
4
Learning and Skills ObjectivesLearning and Skills Objectives
The airway hierarchy (cont’d)• Recommended invasive airway devices:
– Laryngeal mask airway (LMA)– Esophageal-tracheal (Combitube) tube– Tracheal tube
• Primary/secondary confirmation of tracheal tube placement:– Physical exam criteria– End-tidal CO2 detection– Devices to detect esophageal placement
• Devices to prevent TT dislodgment
5
Primary ABCD Survey Primary ABCD Survey
Focus: Basic CPR and Defibrillation• Check responsiveness• Activate emergency response system• Call for defibrillator
A = Airway: open the airwayB = Breathing: check breathing, provide positive-pressure ventilationsC = Circulation: check circulation, give chest compressionsD = Defibrillation: assess for and shock VF/pulseless VT
6
Secondary ABCD Survey Secondary ABCD Survey
A = Airway: insert advanced airway device as soon as able(new: 3 types)
B = Breathing: confirm placement by PE (primary tube confirmation)
PLUS
B = Breathing: confirm placement with esophageal detector device or end-tidal CO2 detector or both (secondary tube confirmation)
B = Breathing: use a commercial tube holder to prevent dislodgment
B = Breathing: confirm effective oxygenation/ventilation by 02 sat, CO2 levels, pH

Mouth-to-Mask VentilationMouth-to-Mask Ventilation
Advantages
• Eliminates direct contact
• Enables positive-pressure ventilation
• Oxygenates well if O2 attached
• Easier to perform than bag-mask ventilation
• Best for small-handed rescuers
• 1-rescuer technique; performed from side
• Rescuer slides over for chest compressions
• Fingers: head tilt–chin lift

Bag-Mask VentilationBag-Mask Ventilation
Key—ventilation volume: “enough to produce obvious chest rise”
1-Person: difficult, less effective
2-Person:easier, more effective

Bag-Mask VentilationBag-Mask Ventilation
Advantages
• Provides immediate ventilation and oxygenation
• Operator gets sense of compliance and airway resistance
• May provide excellent short-term support of ventilation
• High oxygen concentrations are possible
• Can be used to assist spontaneous respirations Potential complications
• Hypoventilation
• Gastric inflation

Tracheal IntubationTracheal Intubation
Advantages• Protects airway from aspiration of foreign material • Facilitates ventilation and oxygenation• Facilitates suctioning of trachea and bronchi• Provides route for drug administration• Prevents gastric inflation if used with cuff• Allows faster chest compressions
32
Tracheal IntubationTracheal Intubation
Indications• Inability to ventilate the unconscious patient• After insertion of pharyngeal airway• Inability of patient to protect own airway (coma,
areflexia, or cardiac arrest)• Need for prolonged mechanical ventilation
33
Tracheal IntubationTracheal Intubation
Recommendations• Intubate as soon as possible after ventilation
and oxygenation in cardiac arrest• Intubation should be done by most
experienced person• Do not take longer than 30 seconds per attempt• Auscultate the thorax and epigastrium
after intubation
34
Tracheal IntubationTracheal Intubation
Complications• Trauma—teeth, lips, tongue, mucosa,
vocal cords, trachea• Esophageal intubation• Vomiting and aspiration• Hypertension and arrhythmias

Esophageal-Tracheal CombitubeEsophageal-Tracheal Combitube
A = esophageal obturator; ventilation into trachea through side openings = B
C = tracheal tube; ventilation through open end if proximal end inserted in trachea
D = pharyngeal cuff; inflated through catheter = E
F = esophageal cuff; inflated through catheter = G
H = teeth marker; blindly insert Combitube until marker is at level of teeth
