Intubation¶
Types of Intubation mangmant algo¶
- Crash intubation [in cardio-pulmonary arrest ]
- Difficult airwary
- Failed airway mng
Crash algo¶
Difficult airway¶
Failed airway mang algo¶
Steps in Intubation¶
- Preparation
- medications
- intubation
- post-intubation seadation
- resuce airway mangmnet
Items needed¶
- O2 source and functioning regualtor
- bag valve mask
- Large suction catheter
- ETT tube best size and a smaller one
- BMI and Correct medication dosages
Patient Bed height in intubation¶
Patient head Position¶
why sniffing position¶
Obese pt / Pulmonary Edema pt Head position¶
In emesis patient¶
Risk in intubation , if BP and HR are not normal¶
- Peri -intubation cardiac arrest
Intubation failure¶
- 15% initial attempt failure
- 1% - 2% overall intubation failure
Intubation Failures¶
Factors of Diffuiculty Visualizing oral, pharyngeal, and tracheal axes needed for intubation.¶
Detailed Steps of Intubation¶
Can intubate without RSI
1.Rapid-sequence intubation[RSI]¶
- Seqence of Drugs to increase intubation sucess rate
- Induction agent
- Neuro muscular relaxing agent
Pre-treament Drugs Before RSI¶
- laryngoscopy cause ⇒ Sympathetic responses ⇒ ⇑HR,⇑BP,⇑ICP
- Worsens MI,Hemorrhagic Stroke ,aortic dissection
- Laryngeal stimulation ⇒ laryngospasm, cough, and bronchospasm.
These maybe prevented by using these drugs 3-5min before RSI
- Fentanyl 50mcg to 100mcg
Induction agent¶
rapid, deep sedation of limited duration, avoids hypotension, and mitigates the physiologic response to laryngoscopy and intubation
- Ketamine
- Midazolam
- Propofol
Neuro-muscualar Blocking drugs¶
Neuromuscular blockade eliminates protective airway reflexes . Neuromuscular blockade can facilitate tracheal intubation, improve mechanical ventilation, and help control intracranial hypertension. - No analgesic & Sedation effect, so need Sedation drugs
Complications of Succniyl-choline¶
2. Pre-oxygenation¶
Oxygen delivery methods¶
Preoxygenation displaces nitrogen from the alveoli, creating a potential oxygen reservoir that may prevent hypoxia and hypoxemia during apnea
- < 70% SpO2 leads to cardiac arrest , dysarrythimias, so
- 3-min 15L/min
3.Steps in Intubation¶
Complications after ETT¶
Intubation Drugs¶
1.Ketamine¶
- dissociative anesthetic state characterized by profound analgesia and amnesia
- by binding to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors on postsynaptic neurons ⇒ inhibits neurotransmitter like glutamate and NDMA , causing anesthesia and amnesia
- ⇑ICP, ⇑HR,⇑BP,SO BAD IN HEART PATIENT
- minimal to no respiratory depression
- potent broncho-dilator
- Increases bronchial and oral secretions
- preserve protective airway reflexes in contrast to other anesthetic agents. Skeletal muscle tone is increased and results in random movements.BAD FOR Epiliptic history
Complication From Ketamine¶
-Post anesthatic { agitation, aggression, confusion, delirium, hallucinations, hysteria, nightmares, restlessness, and unpleasant sensations} - Managed with Benzodiazapines [ Midaz,propofol]
2.Etimodate¶
- No Pain relief , ONLY Anesthesia{loss of Concious-ness}
- By GABA modulation , hyperpolarisation and inhibition of post synaptic neurons
- No cardiac effects
- No ICP and CNS perfusion effects
- barbiturates in patients with diminished pulmonary function. Etomidate is therefore considered to be the induction agent of choice in patients with severe cardiopulmonary disease and highrisk patients in whom maintenance of blood pressure is crucial.
Side effects of Etimodate¶
- Injection site pain by propylene glycol diluent. , nausea,vomiting @ induction
- Myoclonic activity from inhibtion of Cortico-thalamus
- dose dependant suppression of Adrenal gland
3.Fentanyl¶
- Anesthesia
- Fentanyl binds to the μ (mu) opioid receptor found throughout the CNS. Activation of the opioid receptor causes hyperpolarization and inhibition of neurotransmitter release
- slight { ⇓Hr,⇓Contractility, ⇓TPR} mostly no cardiovascular worseng effect
- dose dependant Respiratory depression.{reduce
- tidal volume and subsequent apnea}
Adverse effects of Fentanly¶
- Muscular rigidity involving the chest wall and diaphragm may occur
- Biliary colic and urinary retention
