Insertion of a tube into the trachea to maintain a clear airway in patients who cannot breathe on their own or are unconscious.

Situations where endotracheal intubation is necessary.

Conditions or factors that prevent endotracheal intubation from being appropriate for a particular patient.

Potential risks or adverse effects that can occur during or after endotracheal intubation.

The size of the endotracheal tube (ETT) is determined based on the patient's age and weight. You calculate the appropriate diameter by using specific formulas or charts.

The ideal length of an endotracheal tube is determined by the patient's age and size, ensuring it is placed correctly in the trachea.

A collection of equipment used during the endotracheal intubation process.

A critical parameter in ETT placement, the carina is the point in the airway where the trachea branches into the left and right main bronchi. Correct positioning ensures the tube is not inserted too far.

A surgical procedure that creates an opening in the neck, connecting to the trachea, allowing for insertion of a tube to maintain an airway.

A specialized tube inserted into the trachea through the tracheostomy opening, used to maintain an open airway.

A type of tracheostomy tube with a single opening, used for both air flow and suctioning, often used on newborns and pediatric patients.

A tracheostomy tube with a removable inner cannula that fits inside an outer cannula, providing separate pathways for airflow and cleaning.

A type of tracheostomy tube with a small opening or 'window' in the tube, allowing air to pass through the natural airway.

A tracheostomy tube with an inflatable cuff, providing an airtight seal around the trachea to prevent air leakage and ensure effective ventilation.

A tracheostomy tube without an inflatable cuff, suitable for patients who can breathe on their own and don't require mechanical ventilation.

A procedure with specific indications and contraindications, performed to bypass the upper airway and maintain ventilation.

Humidification systems for tracheostomy patients help maintain the right moisture levels in the airways, preventing dryness and thick mucus.

A tracheal mask delivers humidified air directly to the trachea through a mask worn over the nose and mouth.

Heat and Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) are devices that warm and humidify air before it enters the trachea through a tracheostomy tube.

A tracheal ring is a device worn around the tracheostomy tube to provide support and help prevent dislodgement.

Mucus plugs are common complications of tracheostomies, especially in children.

Tracheal stenosis is a narrowing of the trachea that can occur after a tracheostomy, potentially leading to breathing difficulties.

A tracheoesophageal fistula is an abnormal connection between the trachea and esophagus.

A tracheo-innominate fistula is a rare complication of tracheostomy involving a connection between the trachea and the innominate vein.

The process of changing the tracheostomy tube, requiring two people and typically done every 1-4 weeks. Never perform this unless you're trained and experienced.

Tracheostomy ties used to secure the tube in place. They should be snug but not too tight, allowing for one finger to fit underneath. Changing their position with each change helps prevent skin pressure.

Cleaning the area around the tracheostomy tube to reduce the risk of infection. Includes daily examination of the stoma and applying a clean dressing.

The process of providing moisture to the air entering the lungs through the tracheostomy, necessary because the upper airway is bypassed which naturally humidifies the air.

A sterile procedure, requiring two people, to prevent the tracheostomy tube from becoming dislodged.

The process of providing sterile water, hydrogen peroxide, cotton applicators, gauze pads, gloves, and scissors for cleaning the tracheostomy site.
