Cards

Term
indications for oral and nasotracheal intubation
Definition
. airway maintenance
. prevention of aspiration
. removal of secretions
. deep breathing
. mechanical ventilation
. O2 > 60%
Term
Complications for intubation
Definition
. bronchospasm
. laryngospasm
. injury to teeth
. aspiration of blood,teeth and vomitus
. laceration of lips,tongue,pharyngeal mucosa,larynx
. failure to intubate
Term
Disadvantages of Intubation
Definition
. Effective cough eliminated
. infection
. obstruction by secretions
. laryngeal or tracheal dmg (most serious)
. cuff problems
Term
Disadv's of Orotracheal intubation compared to nasotracheal
Definition
. fixation of the tube is difficult
. extubation more common
. tube may kink
. pressure sores in corner of mouth
. uncomfortable to pt
Term
Disadv's of nasotracheal intubation compared to orotracheal intubation
Definition
. more difficult to insert then oral
. size of tube is limited to size of naris
. SX catheter more difficult to insert
. increased trauma-pts awake
. increased tendency to obstruct
. intro of nasal bacteria into TB tree during procedure
. pressure necrosis of nasal mucosa
. increased Raw
Term
Name intubation equipment
Definition
. Laryngoscope
. stylet
. magill forceps
. Sx equipment
. O2 equipment
. Syringes
. bite blocks, pharyngeal airways
. tape, moleskin
. topical anesthetic
. muscle relaxants
Term
T or F
Easycap is an expired CO2 detector.
Definition
True
Term
What spontaneous parameters do you look at for Extubation?
Definition
. RR,Vt,Ve,VC,NIP,RSBI
Term
T or F
Knowing when to extubate is not determined by your clinical judgement.
Definition
False
Term
T or F
Development of stridor after 24-48 hours probably due to tracheal slough
Definition
True
Term
Post extubation procedures are?
Definition
. cool aerosol and O2
. patient observed for signs of respiratory distress and stridor
Term
Define Tracheotomy
Definition
Cutting in to trachea
Term
Define Tracheostomy
Definition
hole of tracheotomy results
Term
steps to tracheostomy
Definition
1. Head extended
2. 3-4 cm transverse incision halfway between sternal notch and cricoid cartilage
3. deep fascia and strap muscles separated midline
4. thyroid identified and retracted
5. 2-3rd cartilage rings exposed
6. stitch inserted into anterior tracheal wall with heavy black nylon suture
7. immediately above 2nd tracheal ring
8. trachea incised in upside down u-shape while traction put on suture
9. flap pulled gently downward
10.trach tube inserted
Term
Tracheostomy indications
Definition
- maintain pt airway when intubation time is expected to be prolonged
. easier removal of secretions
. intolerance of oral/nasal tube
. when passage of oral/nasal tube is impossible
. as prophylactic procedure in anticipation of airway mgmt problems
Term
Advantages of Traceostomy
Definition
. Easier pulmonary Toilet
. Decreased chance of displacement
. increased comfort
. decreased anatomic deadspace
. pt can swallow, eat
Term
Complications divided in to 3 categories
Definition
1. complications of the operative procedure(RMSB intubation,hemorrage,pneumothorax,perforation of esophagus)
2. complications following the procedure(immediate)(airway obstruction,post-op hemorrage,infection)
3.Complications following the procedure(Tracheal stenosis-narrowing, tracheal malacia- softening of the tracheal rings, localized tracheal erosion
Term
4 reasons to change the tube for trach care
Definition
. need smaller size tube
. need different type of tube
. cuff blown
. tube obstructed
Term
define Laryngotomy
Definition
An emergency incision into cricothyroid membrane for short term made between the thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage.
Term
contraindications of Nasotracheal intubation
Definition
. nasal obstruction
. fractured nose
. sinusitis
. head injuries
Term
few indications of nasotracheal intubation
Definition
. fractured jaw
. intolerance
. preferred for longer intubation >72 hrs
