Introduction
The primary objective of emergency airway management is to oxygenate and ventilatethe patient
You must be prepared to assure optimal oxygenation and ventilation through proper airway management.
Brain death occurs in 6-10 minutes

Airway Management
Clinical Indications
Airway failure or impending airway failure
Inability to protect airway (observe for spontaneous swallow)
Do not check a “gag”
Inadequate ventilation / oxygenation
Presence of clinical conditions that require active management of the patient and/or the patient’s airway, now or in the future
Always ask do they need intubation right now

Difficult Airway Assessment
Three Quick Questions
1. Can the patient open his mouth wide?
2. Does the patient have a chin?
3. Can the patient move his neck?
![Page 14: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Airway Management
What is the right airway?
If you have an effective BLS airway, you have to consider
Does the benefit of placing an advanced airway outweigh the potential adverse effects of that attempt?
Time
![Page 16: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Apnea time and Airway Management
As part of RSI there will be a period of patient apnea that we will need to deal with
Pre oxygenation adds time for safe apnea
Ability to BVM is key (MOANS)
Can I use a Supra Glottic Airway (RODS)
Can I do surgical airway (SHORT)
These help us decide how we can manage the airway during the apnea time
![Page 17: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Can I BVM them?
MOANS
Mask seal? Worse with facial hair, trauma, burns
Obstruction/Obese Both make BVM difficult
Age over 55 more redundant loose tissue
No teeth Leave teeth in for BVM out for ETI
Stiff Lungs, need more pressure Asthma, inhalation etc.
![Page 18: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Will a Supra Glottic Airway work?
RODS
Restricted mouth opening
Obstruction
Distorted anatomy
Stiff lungs.
![Page 19: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SHORT
Surgery (distorted anatomy)
Hematoma ( Blood includes infection)
Obstruction/Obesity
Radiation (Fresh or old)
Tumor
This is a mnemonic for possible difficulties with cricothyrotomy.

Obstruction is not your Friend
Note that Obstruction is in every pneumonic
Airway obstruction and inability to manage the airway with our tools leads you quickly to a surgical crich.

Airway Management
“Performing an intubation is generally easier than deciding which intubation technique to use, which in turn is generally easier than deciding who to intubate, which in turn is generally easier than deciding precisely whento intubate…”
-Ron Walls, MD
![Page 22: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Five questions
Do we need the airway now? Or time for other planning
Will they be easy to BVM?
Will they be an easy intubation?
Will a supraglottic airway work?
Will they be easy to crich?
![Page 23: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Airway Management
The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during and after ALS Pre-oxygenate (gives you time to not rush the intubation) Keep track of time (with a watch, do not guess) Don’t fail to bail, go back to BVM If you can’t ventilate - Intubate If your first attempt is unsuccessful – Do something different If you can’t Intubate - Ventilate If you can’t Ventilate or Intubate - Rescue Practice, Practice, Practice

Airway Management
Use the proper tube size
Pre-oxygenate the patient prior to an attempt
Premedicate with appropriate medications
Have enough personnel available
Attempt only 3 times total if that fails rescue
Practice, Practice, Practice

Airway Management
Lessons Learned
Multiple attempts (limit 3 less than 1% success after that)
Failure to be prepared
Failing to anticipate a difficult airway
Rushing the intubation
Equipment failure (Suction)
Not changing anything in between intubation attempts
Intubating patients instead of treating the underlying cause
When in doubt pull it out
![Page 39: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Decreased O2
Increased CO2
Aspiration
Closed Head Injured (CHI) patients
Control ventilation
![Page 43: Advanced Airway Management - REACH Air Medical Services · Airway Management The Ten(+1) Commandments Remain Calm Have a organized game plan (have enough players) BLS before, during](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011908/5f604b29cde2f3218a06588f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Preoxygenation
Pre-oxygenation is critical in airway management
100% oxygen for five minutes (spontaneous breathing)
8 vital capacity breaths if underventilating
Provides “reservoir” of oxygen for apnea time
Can augment this with high flow oxygen via Nasal cannula at 12-15L/Min leave on during attempts
