Objectives
Differentiate the Emergency Airway from elective
intubation in the OR
Assessment of airway compromise
Indications for airway intervention
Recognition of the difficult airway
Bag-Mask Techniques
Laryngoscopy
dhs wahyubroto. 2
Emergency Airway Management :
Unique Considerations
dhs wahyubroto. 4
The Three Pillars of Airway Management:
( Assessment of Compromises or Threats )
dhs wahyubroto. 5
Indications for Active Airway
Intervention: including intubation
Failure to maintain patency
Protection from aspiration
Hypoxic/ hypercapnic respiratory failure
Airway access for pulmonary toilet, drug
delivery,therapeutic hyperventilation
Intractable Shock
Anticipated clinical deterioration
dhs wahyubroto. 6
Indications for Intubation
dhs wahyubroto. 7
Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise :
Threatened Patency
Inspiratory stridor
Snoring ( pharyngeal obstruction )
Gurgling ( blood/ secretions )
Drooling ( epiglottitis )
Hoarseness ( laryngeal edema/ vocal cord paralysis)
Paradoxical chest wall movement
Tracheal tug
Mass - abscess, hematoma, angioedema
dhs wahyubroto. 8
Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise:
Inadequate Protection
dhs wahyubroto. 9
Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise:
Oxygenation and Ventilation
Central cyanosis
Obtundation and diaphoresis
Rapid shallow respirations
Accessory muscle use
Retractions
Abdominal paradox
dhs wahyubroto. 10
Clinical Signs of Airway Compromise:
Oxygenation and Ventilation
dhs wahyubroto. 11
Techniques for the
Compromised Airway
Head Positioning
Jaw Thrust, Chin lift
Orophryngeal/ Nasopharyngeal airways
Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation
Endotracheal Intubation
Advanced techniques
Cric, LMA, Combitube, Retrograde, Fibreoptic,
Light wand, Bouge

The Difficult Airway
Difficult Laryngoscopy
poor visualization of cords
dhs wahyubroto. 13
Golden Rules of Bagging
Anybody ( almost ) can be oxygenated
and ventilated with a bag and a mask
The art of bagging should be mastered
before the art of intubation
Manual ventilation skill with proper
equipment is a fundamental premise of
advanced airway Rx
dhs wahyubroto. 14
BVM Ventilation
The most important airway skill
Always the first response to inadequate
oxygenation and ventilation
The first bail-out maneuver to a failed
intubation attempt
Attenuates the urgency to intubate
Do not abandon bagging unless it is impossible
with two people and both an OP and NP airway
dhs wahyubroto. 15
BVM Ventilation
Requires practice to master
One hand to
maintain face seal
position head
maintain patency
Other hand ventilates
dhs wahyubroto. 16
BVM Ventilation: Technique
Insert oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal
Sniffingposition if C-spine OK
Thumb + index to maintain face seal
Middle finger under mandibular
symphysis
Ring/little finger under angle of mandible
Maintain jaw thrust/mouth open

Predictors of a Difficult Airway :
BVM

Algorithm for Difficulty
Bagging

BVM Ventilation:
Mask Seal Tips and Pearls

Prediction of the Difficult
Airway: Laryngoscopy
dhs wahyubroto. 22
Technique of Laryngoscopy
Sniffing position to align oral-pharyngeal-
laryngeal axis
Flex neck by placing pillow beneath occiput
( raise 10 cm )
Extend head maximally
With laryngoscope
open mouth fully
push tongue to left out of view
pull upward at 45 degrees
dhs wahyubroto. 23
Adducted vocal cords

Predictors of Difficult
Laryngoscopy
dhs wahyubroto. 26
Difficult Airway : Laryngoscopy
Tumor, abscess or hematoma
Burns
Angioneurotic edema
Blunt or penetrating trauma
Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis
Congenital syndromes
Neck surgery or radiation

Predictors of Difficult
Laryngoscopy

Mallimpadi Classification
(Tongue to Pharyngeal Size)
dhs wahyubroto. 29
The 4 Ds of Difficult Intubation
Distortion
( edema, blood, vomitus, tumor, infection)
Dysmobility of joints
( TMJ, alanto-occipital, C-spine)
Disproportion
thyomental, Mallimpadi, etc
Dentition
prominent upper teeth
dhs wahyubroto. 30
Unsuccessful Intubation
Bag the patient
Maximize neck flex/ head ex
Move tongue out of line of site
Maximize mouth opening
ID landmarks and adjust blade
BURP maneuver (Backwards Upwards Rightwards Pressure on Thyroid Cart.)
