Case Scenario
What is your first priority?
34-year-old
motorcyclist lost
control and crashed
into a fence
Obvious facial trauma
No helmet
Smells of alcohol
Belligerent at scene;
now not communicating
Pulse oximeter 85%
Objectives
Identify the clinical
settings in which
airway compromise is
likely to occur.
Recognize the signs
and symptoms of
airway obstruction.
Describe the
techniques to establish
and maintain a patent
airway.
Discuss the importance
of adequate
oxygenation and
ventilation in all phases
Airway Assessment
How do I know the airway is adequate?
Patient is alert and oriented.
Patient is talking normally.
There is no evidence of injury
to the head or neck.
You have assessed and
reassessed for deterioration.
Airway Assessment
Signs and symptoms of airway compromise
Tachypnea
Abnormal breathing pattern
Low oxygen saturation (late sign)

Airway management:
The most common site of airway obstruction in comatouse
patients :
relaxed tongue , when patients head is in flexed or mid
position
Foreign matter : vomitus, blood
stimulation in stuporous or lightly comatose patients
Laryngospasm is usually caused by upper airway
could be complete or partial obstruction, in complete
obstrc (if not corrected) leads to apnea and cardiac arrest
within 5 10 minute , in partial obstrc must be corrected
promptly can result in brain damage or even cardiac
arrest
Airway Assessment
Impending Airway Obstruction
Recognition of Airway obtruction ;
Can not hear and feel of air flow at the mouth
and nose for complete airway obstruction
When patients still breathing inspiratory
retraction of intercostal and supraclavicular
Partial airway obstruction : snoring, crowing,
gurgling, wheezing
Hypercarbia : somnolence
Hypoxemia : sympathetic stimulation
Manual clearing of the airway:
The crossed finger maneuver
Finger behind teeth manuever
Tongue jaw lift manuever
Caution
Protect the cervical spine during airway
management!

Basic Adjuncts
Oropharyngeal airway
Patients who can tolerate an oral airway will
usually need intubation.
Nasopharyngeal airway
Often well tolerated

Airway Management
How do I predict a potentially difficult airway?
Visualize it going
through the cords
Watch the chest
Auscultation
Pulse oximeter
CO2 detector
Radiology
Summary
Suspect airway compromise in all injured patients.
Adjuncts for establishing a patent airway include:
Chin-lift and jaw-thrust maneuvers
Oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways
Laryngeal mask airway
Multilumen esophageal airway
Gum elastic bougie device
Summary
With all airway maneuvers, the cervical spine must be
protected by inline immobilization.
A surgical airway is indicated when an airway is
needed and intubation is unsuccessful.
The assessment of airway patency and adequacy of
ventilation must be performed quickly and accurately.
Pulse oximetry and end-tidal CO2 measurement are essential.
