Study Notes
Intubation Procedure
- The cuff should be inflated with 10-15ml of air during intubation.
- A rapid-sequence-intubation (RSI) procedure is typically performed in emergency situations where the patient is at risk of aspiration.
Intubation Guidelines
- Intubation attempts should be limited to 30 seconds.
Verifying ETT Placement
- Listening to bilateral breath sounds with a stethoscope is a method to verify correct placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT).
- Measuring end-tidal CO2 is a method to verify correct placement of the ETT.
- Chest X-ray is a method to verify correct placement of the ETT.
- Palpation of the cuff in the neck is NOT a method to verify correct placement of the ETT.
ETT Markings
- The average cm marking of an endotracheal tube (ETT) at the lip for an adult is 21-23cm.
