what are the 3 alternative airways | 1. LMA -Laryngeal mask airway 2. Combitube 3. EOA- Esophogeal obturator airway |
when do you use a LMA | for short term only when nasal/oral not possible, common in anesthesia |
what are the advantages of the LMA | 1. not a lot of manipulation/ head positioning 2. available from neonate to adult |
disadvantages for the LMA | 1. expensive 2. hard to get correct size 3. doesn't prevent aspiration |
why does the LMA have to be checked constantly | for aspiration/ vomit |
what should be done ever time an artificial airway is placed in a pt | check for bilateral breath sounds before securing |
can a ET tube be placed through the LMA | yes is can to secure a secure airway |
2 main limitations to the LMA | 1. cannot be used on even a semiconscous pt=gag 2. ventilation over 20 cm H2O= gastric destinsion |
what is a combitube | a double lumen device- can ventilate just one lung or both |
can a combitube be inserted blindly | yes, when intibation failed or with difficult airways |
what is the advantage that the combitube has over other ET tubes if inserted into the esophogus | the combitube has 2 cuffs and 2 airway passages. if the distal one ends up in the esophagus then the cuff will keep vomit out of airway and the resuscitator can be moved to the other airway and then ventilate the patient through those holes. |
combitube is used in what situation | blind intibation |
what is very important to monitor when testing combitube placement | 1. gastric sounds 2. bilateral breath sounds |
who should the combitube not be used on | 1. pediatric 2. very short adults |
what are the advantages to the combitube | 1. can do a blind intibation 2. can be rapidly inserted 3. pharyngeal cuff is well anchored to hard palate |
what are the disadvantages to the combitube | 1. placement of an ET tube is difficult with a combitube in place already 2. can't be used on pt with gag reflex |
what is a double lumen ET tube | 1. 2 different lumina- different lengths 2. one goes in either left or right bronchi 3. shorter one ends above carina 4. can ventilate each lung separtly 5. 2 cuffs |
what are the differences in the double lumen ET tube | 1. one has high volume low pressure cuff 2. one is a high pressure low volume cuff |
what is unique about the 2 cuffs on the double lumen ET tube | they have a radiopaque line on the cuffs as well as ET tube |
why do the double lumins 2 cuffs have a radiopaque line | to make sure the placesment of each is in the proper place to keep only one lung ventilated at a time |
when is a double lumen Et tube used | 1. after lung transplant- lung compliance different 2. when pt has a one sided lung problem 3. during lobe ectomy to ventilate one lung and not the other 4. protect good lung when one is have massive hemoptysis |
what is a EOA | an esophogeal obturator airway |
when is a EOA used | during emergency situations for unconscious pt and apneic |
is a EOA a true ariway | no |
what is the principle behind EOA | 1. stop airt from getting into stomach 2. esophagus is sealed with cuff- gas only in lungs 3. prevent aspiration |
what is a the approx. length of the EOA | 37 cm |
differences betweet EOA to an ET tube | 1. closed off distal end 2.supposed to go into esophagus 3. cuff blocks off esophgus 4. holes at pharyngeal level- not vented through one hole |
EOA placement directions | 1. check cuff 2. deflate 3. lock in mask 4. place head in neutral position 5.grasp jaw/ lift jaw 6. insert on right side till mask is seated 7. seal mask 8. ventilate- bilateral chest movement/ breath sounds only 9. inflate cuff |
when should a EOA be removed | 1. pt regain consciousness 2. pt breaths spontainous 3. ET tube is available |
be prepared for what when removing EOA | the pt will vomit get suction/ turn head/ have vomitus bag/ then deflaite cuff |
before you take out the EOA what needs to be done about the pt airway | make sure they have a nasal tracheal or ET tube before removing EOA |
what are the EOA hazards | 1. hole in esophagus 2. tracheal intibation- no ventilation 3. vomit upon removal |
what should be done if an EOA is placed in a trachea | remove! emergency! no ventilation |

who can use the oxygen powered resuscitator | adults only |
how does a oxygen powered resuscitator work | 1. 50psi O2 source 2. demand valve delivering 100% O2 |
what are the steps to use bag resuscitator | 1. stand behind pt 2. put mask on pt 3. hold bridge of nose with thumb 4. hold mask with index fingers 5. grab jaws with rest of fingers 6. can also be attatched to ET tube |
what does a bag resuscitator do | gives pt IPPB at various oressures |
is the FIO2 the same witha mask resuscitator | no it is variable with the 1. flow rate 2. reservior 3. RR/ refill rate |
when do you need to bag a pt | 1. CPR 2. Resp arrest 3. deteriorating pt 4. pre/post oxygenating during suctioning artificial airway 5. transporting pt |
what are some hazards and complications for bagging a pt | 1. failure to establish airway- in esophagus/ bronchi 2. cervical/spinal trauma- chin lift not hyperextended 3. gastric iinsufflation 4. barotrauma 5. vomit/ aspiration |
how do you correct gastric insufflation | 1. 2 sec to deliver volume= less problem 2. use cricoid pressure = less problem |
how can you prevent a barotrauma in bagged pt | 1. use correct size bag 2. use pressure relief valve @ 35-40 cm H2O |
how can you prevent vomiting in bagged pt | 1. turn patient and compress stomach before 2. in tibate after compressing stomach 3. put in nasogastric tube |
