|
adv & disadv of jaw thrust aw position?
|
adv:can do on pt with fractured neck.
disadv: difficult to perform and obtain good seal. tiring and no denture control |

100 % O2 and 1-2 minutes
|
|
how often should suctioning be done?
|
only as needed (prn)
|
|
Reason to intubate?
|
patent aw
access for suctioning means to mech ventilate protect aw (aspiration and obstruction) |
|
intubation physiologica and psychological alterations
|
by pass normal filtration/humidification and warming. less effective cough. disrupts mucus transport. loss of personal dignity and unable to communicate.
|
|

|
infection
cuff pressure laryngospasm right stem bronchus intubation |
|
cuff pressure on entubation tube should be less than
|
20 torr
|
|
how can endotracheal tube postion be assessed?
|
bilateral chest expansion during inspiration
auscultation CXR-should be 2-3 cm above carina |
|
ET tube procedure
|
postion head
hyperoxygenate laryngescope in left hand,et in right, insert blade in mouth,lift epiglottis(curve blade in vallecula and straight under epiglottis). insert tube,inflate,assess tube postion, vent and oxygenate. |
|
cuff pressure is high pressure/low vol or high vol/low pressure
|
low vol/high pressure
|
|
clues of complete obstruction
|
marked inspiratory effort w/o air movement.
intercostal,sternal, epigastric retraction contractions of accessory muscles, anxious pt unconcious pt may appear dusky or strong ventiltory efforts |
|
clues of partial obstruction
|
noisy inspiration usually inspiration and low tone.
greater the obstruction the louder the noise. stridor usually refers to a glottic obstruction and high pitched inspiration sound. |
|
extubation technique
|
suction tube above and below cuff, have pt inspire deeply,deflate cuff,pull out tube AT PEEK INSPIRATION,have pt cough and clear secretions, observe pt for complications
|
|
extubation complications
|
severe resp distress and or marked inspiratory stridor. (reintubate). modererate distress o2,cool mist aerosol and racemic epi to reduce swelling.
|
|
mild distress
|
provide humidity and O2
|
|
post extubation complication
|
vocal cord polops,mucosal ulceration,tracheomalacia (trach cartilage softening),tracheostenoisis (gradual obstruction narrowing)
|
|
tracheostomy indications
|
preferred for long term intubation or when upper AW obstruction prevents intubation.(should be done under sterile conditions)
|
|
tracheostomy adv
|
adv easier to stabilize,suction & tolerate. some have easy to clean inner cannula. pt able to eat and speak. few hazards and minimal RAW.
|
|
trach hazards
|
first 24 hrs bleeding,pneumothorax,air embloism,subcutaneous emphysema. Later infection, hemorrhage,obstruction,T-E fistula,
|
|
inflate trach cuff when
|
pt is eating
pt is on Postive pressure ventilation |
|
trach tube should not be changed no more than?
|
once a week
|
|
3 reasons trach should be changed
|
obstruction-can't pass suction catheter
tube too small-very high cuff pressure punctured cuff-ualbe to seal trach |
|
care after trach removal
|
don't suture stoma closed
apply steril dressing and antibotic clean periodically w/ peroxide have pt cough to clear secretions |
|
laryngoscope straight blade fits
|
directly under epiglottis and is called miller blad
|
|
laryngoscope curved
|
machintosh-fits into vallecula and indirectly raises epiglottis
|
|
one cannula trach tube
|
shiley
|
|
jackson trach tube
|
silver metal trach tube
comes with an inner cannula and optional cuff |
|

|
TRACHEAL BUTTON USED?
|
TO MAINTAIN STOMA, USED IN SOME SLEEP APNEA CASES.
|
