Pharyngeal Airways• Indications
– Prevent obstruction from tongue in unconscious patient
– Facilitate suctioning– Facilitate mask/bag ventilation
• Complications– May stimulate gag reflex in conscious or
semi-conscious patient– Vomiting and aspiration
• Oral or nasal pharyngeal airways
![Page 5: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Nasal Intubation• Spray 2% lidocaine
and 0.25% Neosynephrine in nose
• Do blind intubation or
• Use Magill forceps to guide tube into place
• Use smaller ID tube
• Average distance from mid-trachea to naris is 25 cm

48
Tube Changer
• Insert in ET tube to change• Note cm at teeth• Slip old tube off keeping changer in
place• Slip new tube on changer down to the
same level

50
Complications During Extubation
• Laryngeal spasm• Vocal cord trauma
• Treat by applying slight positive pressure via mask and bag until anesthesiology gets there with succinylcholine, a rapid acting muscle relaxant.
![Page 51: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
When Extubating
• Have oxygen ready (APN)• Have bag and mask ready• Have racemic epinephrine handy
![Page 52: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Complications After Extubation• Hoarseness – temporary vocal cord injury (if
lasts > week → granuloma formation*)• Glottic edema (adults) → Inspiratory Stridor
– Aerosolize racemic epinephrine (0.5 ml of 2.25%) and steroid (1 mg of dexamethasone) in 4 ml NS
– Will need to re-intubate if aerosol fails to reduce swelling
• Subglottic edema (infants) → Inspiratory Stridor– because cricoid ring narrowest point along infant
larynx and trachea it’s exposed to > potential injury during intubation
– must re-intubate• Tracheal stenosis – rarely occurs if cuff properly
inflated and maintained* Shapiro, p 269
![Page 53: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Laryngeal Masks• Positioned in the hypopharynx
– Separates esophagus from trachea– Doesn’t keep esophageal sphincter open
(EOA)– Doesn’t keep glottis open (ETT)
• Indications– Used instead of face masks for anesthesia– In cases of difficult intubation– Emergency cases waiting for intubation
![Page 54: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Contra-indications for Laryngeal Masks
• Full stomach• Hiatal hernia - protrusion of a portion
of the stomach up through the diaphragm - occurs in about 40% pop --> Gastroesophageal reflux
• Need for controlled ventilation

Considerations
• Can be applied 48-72 hours after tracheotomy
• As soon as surgical secretions have minimized
• Cuffless tracheostomy tube preferred• Tracheostomy tube should be 2/3 size
of trachea
![Page 71: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
Precautions
• Observe patient for difficulty using valve• Upper airway obstruction may be
present– Stenosis– Masses– Secretions– Tracheostomy tube too large
![Page 72: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
72
Complications
• Secretions may cause valve to stick• Cuff not deflated
![Page 73: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
73
Contraindications for Passy-Muir Valve
• Severe tracheal or laryngeal stenosis• Laryngectomized patients
![Page 74: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

Trach Buttons
![Page 75: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
75
Tracheostomy Care
• Trach Care– Suction– Replace disposable inner cannula on temporary
tubes [Make sure replacement inner cannula is the correct sizecorrect size!] – clean inner cannula on metal tubes and reuse
– Disinfect around stoma/ replace trach tube ties– Change trach dressing [or when soiled]
• Monitor cuff pressure [check that MOT/MLT]

76
Special Emergency Airway Situations
• Foreign Body Obstruction• Laryngeal Trauma• Laryngospasm
![Page 77: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
Two Emergency Procedures
• Cricothyroidotomy (used to be preferred route)
• Transtracheal catherization (preferred route)
![Page 78: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
Cricothyroidotomy
• Laryngotomy not tracheotomy• Surgical opening through
cricothyroid membrane– Directly below Adam’s apple
(thyroid cartilage)• Safer, quicker, and easier than
tracheotomy
![Page 79: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
79
Cricothyroid membrane
• Easy to locate• Below vocal cords• Well supported by
surrounding cartilage• Less vascular than
anterior trachea• Not hidden by thyroid
tissue

80
Cricothyroidotomy
• Not suitable in small children or infants
![Page 81: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
81
Procedure• Neck is hyper-extended• Thyroid and cricoid cartilage palpated• Vertical midline incision made between the
two cartilages• Incision spread• Cricothyroid membrane cut horizontally,
just above cricoid cartilage• At least a 6-mm ID trach tube can be
inserted into trachea - can also use endotracheal tube through stoma
![Page 82: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
82
Complications of Cricothyroidotomy
• Hemorrhage• Permanent vocal cord damage• Esophageal trauma
![Page 83: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
83
Alternative Procedure - Transtracheal Catherization
• Puncture cricothyroid membrane with large bore needle (14 - 16 gauge) surrounded by plastic catheter
• Direct needle caudally at 45o angle• Withdraw plunger as insert needle• Air indicates needle in trachea• Advance catheter over needle into
trachea• Attach IV tubing to gas source for
ventilation

86
Transtracheal ventilation
• IV tubing connected to 15 LPM oxygen• Opening in tubing used as a thumb
control• Cover hole to inflate chest• Uncover hole to allow exhalation
through nose and mouth• Opening can be 3-way stop-cock
![Page 87: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
87
Complications of Transtracheal Catheterization
• Misplacement of catheter into esophagus
• Puncture of artery• Subcutaneous and mediastinal
emphysema• Inadequate exhalation if upper
airway blocked
![Page 88: Airways. DR HUSNI](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052216/577cc0191a28aba7118ed692/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
88
Also Devices like NuTrak
• Larger needle• Inserted the same way• Can connect larger tubing to
NuTrak for easier ventilation

These emergency airways should be replaced with
appropriate airways ASAP - tracheotomy under sterile O.R.
conditions
