30
Airway
• The most important steps in patient care are obtaining and maintaining a patent airway.
• Oxygenation of the body’s tissues occurs through the processes of breathing and circulation.
• The primary objective of emergency care is to ensure optimal ventilation.
• Airway maneuvers are often neglected skills.
![Page 31: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Anatomy of the Upper Airway (1 of 2)
• Divided into upper and lower airways• Major functions of the upper airway
– Warm, filter, and humidify air brought into the body• Pharynx
– First portion of the upper airway– Composed of the nasopharynx and oropharynx
![Page 32: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Anatomy of the Upper Airway (2 of 2)
• Nasopharynx– Union of facial bones– Divided by septum– Contains the cilia and the turbinates
• Oropharnyx– Oral cavity; begins with the mouth and teeth– Tongue, palate, epiglottis, and vallecula
• Larynx– Complex structure – Glottic opening is the narrowest portion of the trachea
![Page 33: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Anatomy of the Lower Airway
• The function of the lower airway is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.
• Extends from C4 to the xiphoid process (externally); glottic opening to pulmonary capillary membrane (internally).
• Inhalation• Surfactant• Atelectasis
![Page 34: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Lung and Respiratory Volumes
• Average adult male total lung capacity is 6 L• Tidal volume (average 5-7 mL/kg)• Dead space• Alveolar air• Minute volume• Functional reserve capacity• Residual volume• Inspiratory/expiratory reserve volumes
![Page 35: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Ventilation (1 of 2)
• Movement of air into and out of the lungs• Two phases of ventilation:
– Inspiration• Stimulus to breathe comes from the respiratory center
located in the medulla
– Expiration• Stretch receptors in the chest wall and bronchioles send a
signal to the apneustic center to inhibit the inspiratory center• Hering-Breuer reflex
![Page 36: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Ventilation (2 of 2)
• Respiration is the exchange of gases between a living organism and its environment.
• Two types of respiration: – External – exchange of gases between the lungs and
the blood cells– Internal – exchange of gases between the blood cells
and tissues
![Page 37: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Causes of Decreased Oxygen Concentration in the Blood
• Any condition that reduces the surface area for gas exchange also decreases the oxygen supply
• Pneumothorax• Decreased mechanical effort• Medical conditions
– Pulmonary edema
![Page 38: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Carbon Dioxide in the Blood
• Fluctuates in relation to changes in breathing.• Hyperventilation rids the body of excessive amounts of
carbon dioxide.
![Page 39: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
The Measurement of Gases
• Dalton’s law of partial pressure• Total pressure of air (sea level) 760 torr• Major components
– Nitrogen – Oxygen – Carbon dioxide – Water vapor
![Page 40: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Respiratory Rate (1 of 2)
• Neural control– Comes from medulla and pons– Apneustic center
• Chemical stimuli– Chemoreceptors monitor the chemical composition of
body fluids– Hypoxic drive is a “backup system”
![Page 41: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Respiratory Rate (2 of 2)
• Control of respiration by other factors– Increase or decrease respirations according to need.– Certain medications cause the respiratory rate to
increase or decrease.– Respirations decrease as metabolism slows.
![Page 42: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Airway Evaluation
• Essential parameters– Bellows system– Normal rate: 12-20 breaths/min
• Recognition of airway problems– Respiratory rate, regularity, or effort– Look, listen, and feel technique– History of present illness– Respiratory pattern changes
![Page 43: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Acid-Base Balance (1 of 2)
• Defining the acidity of a solution– Amount of free hydrogen ion
• Ion shifts– Acid-base balance on both sides of the cell
• Buffers– Imagined as a bucket
• Circulating bicarbonate buffer– Holds and neutralizes excess acid
![Page 44: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Acid-Base Balance (2 of 2)
• Respiratory component– Fastest way to rid the body of excess hydrogen ions– Maintaining circulating levels of carbon dioxide in the
blood• Renal component
– Kidneys respond but take hours to days to restore pH– Excreting the acid
![Page 45: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Compensatory Mechanisms
• Acid-base disorders not immediately correctable by the body’s buffering systems initiate compensatory mechanisms to help return levels to normal.
![Page 46: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Clinical Presentation (1 of 2)
• Two types of acid-base disorders– Metabolic and respiratory
• Respiratory acidosis– Always related to hypoventilation
• COPD– Creates respiratory acidosis over time– Hypoxic drive stimulates breathing based on
circulating oxygen levels in the bloodstream
![Page 47: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Clinical Presentation (2 of 2)
• Respiratory alkalosis– Always the result of hyperventilation
• Metabolic acidosis– Any acidosis not related to the respiratory system
• Metabolic alkalosis– Results from excessive loss of acid, either from
urination or decreased acid levels in the stomach
![Page 48: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Maintaining the Airway
• Recovery position– Helps maintain a clear airway in a patient who has
not had traumatic injuries and is breathing on their own with a normal rate and adequate tidal volume
– Prevents aspiration of vomitus
![Page 49: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Airway Management
• Emergency medical care begins with ensuring a patient’s airway is open and breathing is adequate.
• The most common cause of airway obstruction in an unresponsive patient is the tongue.
![Page 50: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

![Page 53: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Recognition
• Early recognition is crucial.• Good air exchange
– If they can cough forcefully, don’t interfere with their efforts to expel object on their own
• Poor air exchange– Weak, ineffective cough– Treat immediately as if it were a severe air
obstruction
![Page 54: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

![Page 82: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
82
Tracheostomy, Stoma, and Tracheostomy Tubes
• Tracheostomy – surgical opening into the trachea• Stoma – the resultant orifice connecting the trachea to
the outside air• Neither the head tilt-chin lift nor the jaw-thrust maneuver
is required for ventilating a patient with a stoma• If the patient has a tracheostomy tube, you should
ventilate through the tube with a BVM device
![Page 83: Chapter 9 Airway Management and Ventilation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56815748550346895dc4eb57/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
83
Special Patient Considerations
• Laryngectomy suctioning must be performed with extreme care.– The slightest irritation of the tracheal wall can result
in a violent laryngospasm. – To further minimize the risk of complications, limit
suctioning of the stoma to 10 seconds.
