Intubation Step:1   Position Patient Head in sniffing position slight hyperextension  
🗑
Intubation Step:2   Adequately hyperoxygenate (resuscitation bag with 100% for 2 minutes  
🗑
Intubation Step:3   Hold laryngoscope in left hand ET Tube in right hand  
🗑
Intubation Step:4   Insert blade down the right side of the mouth, sweep tongue to the left.  
🗑
Intubation Step:5   Advance blade, lift epiglottis visualize vocalcords, (curve blade tip) = vallecula (straight blade tip) = epiglottis have suction available  
🗑
Intubation Step:6   Cricord Pressure = (Selleck Maneuver) is indicated if the larynx is in an anterior location  
🗑
Intubation Step:7   Insert tube, inflate cuff, assess tube position, ventilate, and oxygenate  
🗑
Minimal Occluding Volume (MOV)   technique used to inflate cuff = 20-25 mmHg/25-30 cmH20 listen for air leak as cuff is inflated during positive pressure ventilation: STOP inflating at minimum volume necessary to eliminate air leak via trach or ET Tube  
🗑
Minimal Leak Technique (MLT)   slowly inject air into the cuff during positive pressure inspiration until leak STOPS; A small amount of air is removed to allow a slight leak during peak inspiration. Remove the small amount to PREVENT aspiration  
🗑
Assessment Of Tube Position Notice Sequence   1. Inspection (look for bilateral chest expansion during inspiration) 2. Auscultation (breath sounds should be heard bilateral) 3. Capnography (CO2 Detector) 4. Chest X-ray ( tip of tube 2cm or 1 in ABOVE carina or at aortic knob/notch  
🗑
Tube Maintenance Suctioning   Maintain patency  
🗑
Tube Maintenance Humidification   * Prevent dehydration of tissue (100% Humidity @ 37.C) * Best way to prevent obstruction  
🗑
Tube Maintenance Cuff Pressure   *Minimal leak *Minimal occluding volume *Use high volume/low pressure cuff =to or< 20mmHg)  
🗑
