Study Notes
Fiberoptic Laryngoscopy
- Common indication: Assessing vocal cords for issues like paralysis, masses, or inflammation.
Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block
- Recommended technique for intraoral approach: Use an anatomical landmark technique and inject near the stylopharyngeal fold.
Bullard Rigid Indirect Laryngoscope
- Indication: Difficult intubation scenarios, particularly in patients with limited mouth opening or cervical spine instability.
Lighted Stylet
- Diffuse glow: Signifies that the stylet is likely close to the vocal cords.
Percutaneous Airway Insertion
- Necessary when: Traditional intubation methods fail and a secure airway cannot be established.
Translaryngeal Block
- Purpose: Offers pain relief for procedures involving the larynx, like bronchoscopy.
Glidescope
- Advantage: Offers a wider view of the airway, beneficial for patients with limited mouth opening or difficult anatomy.
Blind Nasal Intubation
- Potential use: In an emergency situation when a quick airway needs to be secured and more advanced methods are not readily available.
Cook Catheter
- Main advantage: Allows for gentle airway passage, reducing the risk of trauma.
Fiberoptic Laryngoscopy
- Common complication: Nasal bleeding.
Sniffing Position During Laryngoscopy
- Primary goal: Align the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes, facilitating intubation.
Sniffing Position for Laryngoscopy
- Head positioning: Flexed forward with chin elevated, mimicking a sniffing position.
Positioning Obese Patients
- Challenge: Maintaining a stable head position due to excess neck tissue and weight.
Extubation After Laryngoscopy
- Key consideration: Careful assessment of the patient's airway reflexes and ability to breathe independently.
Criteria for Extubation
- Includes: Returning of cough reflex, adequate respiratory effort, and stable vital signs.
Ramping' a Patient
- Purpose: Elevate the patient's shoulders to facilitate the sniffing position, improving laryngeal alignment.
Controversial Position for Sleep Apnea
- Position: Prone position, its effectiveness in improving pharyngeal patency is debated.
Sniffing Position
- Aim when raising the head: Align the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes to optimize airway visualization.
'Deep' or 'Awake' Extubation Plan
- Initial consideration before: Performing a surgical procedure that involves the airway.
Positioning Obese Patients
- Challenge: Difficult to maintain stable head positioning.
Supraglottic Airway Devices
- Purpose: Provide an alternative to endotracheal intubation for maintaining airway patency
LMA Device with Gastric Tube
- Device: LMA Supreme.
Supraglottic Airway Devices vs. Endotracheal Tubes
- Advantage: Easier and quicker to insert, potentially reducing trauma to the airway.
Relative Contraindication for Supraglottic Airway Devices
- Condition: Severe regurgitation or risk of aspiration.
LMA Insertion
- Important step: Make sure the cuff is insufflated properly to ensure a seal.
Improper LMA Placement
- Potential complication: Airway obstruction or aspiration.
Combitube
- Role: Provides a double-lumen airway, ensuring ventilation and preventing aspiration.
King Laryngeal Tube
- Distinguishing feature: Features a single lumen with a cuff that seals both the pharynx and the larynx.
Retrograde Intubation/ Seldinger Cricothyrotomy
- Potential serious problem: Hemorrhage during insertion.
Percutaneous Translaryngeal Jet Ventilation (PTJV)
- Primary purpose: Provide temporary ventilation when conventional airway management fails.
Alpert Syndrome
- Condition: Characterized by a poorly developed nasal bridge, microcephaly, and cervical spine abnormalities.
Respiratory Challenge Associated with Alpert Syndrome
- Difficulty: Restricted airway due to facial and craniofacial abnormalities.
Goldenhar Syndrome
- Distinguishing feature: Presence of an underdeveloped ear and facial asymmetry.
Von Recklinghausen Disease
- Key feature: Presence of cafe-au-lait spots (skin pigmentation) and neurofibromas (benign tumours).
Cretinism
- Anatomical abnormality: Deficiency in thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism),leading to physical and mental developmental issues.
Condition Leading to Macroglossia
- Condition: Pompe disease, leading to muscle deposits causing an enlarged tongue.
Meckel Syndrome
- Main challenge: Associated with severe malformations of the gastrointestinal tract.
Hunter Syndrome
- Distinguishing feature: It's an X-linked recessive disorder involving a deficiency in the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase, leading to skeletal abnormalities and mental retardation.
