Study Notes

Oxygen Delivery Devices

The most commonly used oxygen delivery device is the nasal cannula.
A high-flow oxygen delivery system offers a wide range of Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) and relative/absolute humidity, suitable for both adults and children.
Moderate to high FiO2 can be achieved with a simple face mask.
The reservoir system commonly used for oxygen delivery is the non-rebreather mask.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The primary treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning is hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Airway Management Devices

The endotracheal tube is placed in the trachea for airway management.
The surgical airway is established using a tracheostomy tube via a neck incision.
Oropharyngeal airways maintain patency of the airway by preventing the tongue from obstructing airflow.
Suction catheters are utilized in airway management to clear secretions and maintain airway patency.
Flexible bronchoscopy serves primarily for diagnostic purposes, allowing for visual inspection and sampling of airway structures.

Airway Sizing and Resuscitation

Appropriate size for nasopharyngeal airways can be estimated using the patient's nostril size and the distance to the ear.
Manual resuscitators are used in airway management to provide positive pressure ventilation.
Laryngoscopes that allow direct visualization and control of supraglottic structures are known as direct laryngoscopes.

Airway Tolerance and Materials

Nasopharyngeal airways are better tolerated than oral airways by alert patients who have some protective airway reflexes (True).
Tracheostomy tubes are generally made of medical-grade plastic.

Oropharyngeal Airway Sizing

Selecting a size for oropharyngeal airways entails inserting the device into the mouth over the tongue, from the lips to the angle of the jaw.
The primary purpose of a Guedel airway is to maintain an open airway by preventing airway obstruction.
