Study Notes
Pulmonary Resuscitation
- Indications: Upper and lower airway obstruction, altered respiratory drive
- Contraindications: Patient does not want resuscitation, documented
- Failure to restore gas exchange: Can cause hypoxia injury or death
Relieving Upper Airway Obstruction
- Repositioning the airway: Move the tongue anteriorly to open the upper airway, tilt the head and move the mandible anteriorly
- Head tilt: Tilt the head backward, supporting the forehead, and slightly hyperextending the neck (sniffing position). Do not use with suspected cervical spine injury.
- Anterior mandibular displacement (Jaw thrust): Opens the airway without spinal cord manipulation. Grasps both sides of the mandible. Artificial airways are designed to maintain the patient's airway.
Oropharyngeal Airway
- Purpose: Relieves obstruction caused by the tongue or soft tissue in unconscious patients.
- Mechanism: Separates the tongue from the posterior wall of the pharynx.
- Size Considerations: Careful selection is critical. Too small can cause further obstruction; too large can cause the epiglottis to shut
- Proper Placement: Right size lifts the base of the tongue posteriorly to the airway.
Nasopharyngeal Airway
- Purpose: Relieves airway obstruction
- Mechanism: Separates the tongue from the soft palate
- Indications: Obstruction relief
- Additional Notes: Frequent nasotracheal suction (suctioning of the nose and trachea) is common.
