| LIST CAUSES OF AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. |
|
Definition
THE TONGUE-In the patient with an altered LOC, the jaw relaxes and the tongue tends to fall back against the posterior wall of the pharynx, closing off the airway.(HEAD-TILT CHINLIFT OR JAW THRUST)
FORIEGN BODIES-(ALCOHOL)WHICH DEPRESSES THE PROCTECTIVE REFLEXES PRESENT RISKS FOR F.B. OBSTRUCTIONS(DYSPHONIA,APHONIA)
LARYNGEAL SPASM-SPASMATIC CLOSING OF THE VOCAL CHORDS(AGGRESSIVE VENTILATION TO FORCE AIR THRU THE AIRWAY
FRACTURED LARYNX-INCREASES AIRWAY RESISTANCE BY DECREASING AIRWAY SIZE SECONDARY TO MUSCLE LARYNGEAL EDEMA,AND VENTILATION.(ADVANCED AIRWAY REQUIRED)
ASPIRATION-
a.Blood or other fluid significantly increases mortality.
b. Destroys delicate bronchiolar tissue, introduces pathogens into the lungs, and decreases the patient’s ability to ventilate
(Suction should be readily available). |
