|---|---|
| indications for intubation | inability to oxygenate patient (SpO2,90%), inability to ventilate patient (resp acidosis), patient unable to protect airway |
| most common cause of airway obstruction in an unconscious patient | tongue |
| three maneuvers to temporarily relieve airway obstruction | chin lift/jaw thrust, oral airway in an unconscious patient, nasopharyngeal airway |
| five signs of airway compromise | agitation, tachypnea, increased resp effort, stridor, hoarseness |
| proper oxygenation of a patient prior to intubation | 100% oxygen via mask for 5 min |
| which endotacheal tube should be used in patients <8 years old | uncuffed to avoid tearing of airway due to overinflation |
| size of ET tube used for most women | 7-8 mm |
| size of ET tube used for most men | 7.5-9 mm |
| size of ET tube used for most pediatrics | diameter of patients little finger |
| how should the laryngoscope blade be inserted | on the right side of the mouth and used to sweep the tongue to the left |
| three benefits of applying cricoid pressure | prevents aspiration of gastric contents, prevents intubation into the esophagus, aids in visualization of the cords |
| five methods used to confirm tube placement | condensation in the ET tube, auscultate both lung bases, observe chest movement and symmetry, attach end-tidal CO2 analyzer to ET tube, check stat chest x-ray (tube should be 4-5 cm above the carina) |
| which method of ET tube confirmation is most accurate | end-tidal CO2 detection |
| after intubation, if breath sounds are heard on the right but not on the left, what should be done | pull back on the ET tube and auscultate again |
| the early complications of intubation | aspirations, trauma, equipment failure, inability to intubate |
| the late complications of intubation | ventilator associated pneumonia, accidental extubation, vocal cord dysfunction or paralysis |
| the max amount of time that ventilations should be interrupted to perform intubation | 30 sec |
