Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014
3.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Management of the airway is an extremely critical step in the care of any patient ā¢ Without an open and clear airway, a patient will become hypoxic, this leads to: ā A loss of consciousness ā Coma ā Death 3
4.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ When providing emergency care you must: ā Determine whether the patientās airway is open ā Clear any obstruction you find ā Make sure that the airway is adequate ā Provide supplemental oxygen or ventilatory support if indicated 4
5.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 1. Assuring a Patent Airway 2. Clearing the Airway 3. Portable Oxygen Cylinders 4. Supplemental Oxygen Therapy
6.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014
7.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ To assure a patent airway, there are two manual maneuvers you can use: ā Head-tilt, chin-lift technique ā Jaw-thrust maneuver ā¢ These maneuvers help to correct the position of the tongue: ā The tongue is the most common cause of airway obstruction in unconscious patients 7
8.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Airway management is optimal for both maneuvers when the patient is: ā Supine ā Lying flat on the back 8
9.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ The āhead-tilt, chin-lift maneuverā provides maximum opening of the airway ā¢ It should be used for patients with no suspected injury to the spine 9
10.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Put one hand on the patientās forehead ā¢ Put the fingertips of your other hand under the bony part of the patientās chin ā¢ Apply gentle pressure to the forehead to tilt the head back 10
11.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Using your fingertips, lift the chin until the lower teeth nearly touch the upper teeth: ā¢ Avoid compressing the soft tissue under the jaw ā¢ It may be necessary to prevent the mouth from closing by using your thumb to pull back the patientās lower lip: ā¢ Keep your thumb from entering the patientās mouth 11
12.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ The jaw-thrust maneuver should be used for: ā Patients who are unconscious ā Who have suspected cervical spine injury 12
13.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ To perform the maneuver, kneel at the top of the head ā¢ Put one hand on each side of the jaw, just below the ears ā¢ Press your thumbs against the cheek bones as you use your fingers to push the jaw forward: ā Take care not to tilt or rotate the patientās head 13
14.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Once you have the patientās airway positioned, assess for obstructions ā¢ Use a thumb to pull back the patientās lip if necessary to keep the mouth open 14
15.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ A variation of the standard jaw thrust: ā Used with a pocket face mask ā¢ Select an appropriate size mask with a one- way valve and assemble the two together ā¢ While kneeling at the top of the patientās head, place the mask over the patientās nose and mouth 15
16.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Place the thumbs across both sides of the mask while using the index and middle fingers of both hands to pull forward at the angles of the jaw ā¢ Pull the jaw forward into the mask without tilting the head back: ā Now you are able to provide mouth-to-mask ventilations 16
17.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Oropharyngeal airway (OPA) is an airway adjunct ā¢ Helps assure a patent airway ā¢ When inserted into the mouth: ā¢ Restricts the movement of the tongue ā¢ Holds the airway open 17
18.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Use the oropharyngeal airway only on unresponsive patients who do not have a gag reflex 18
19.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Before using an OPA you must select the right size ā¢ Hold the device next to the patientās face: It should extend from the corner of the mouth to the ear lobe Or: From the center of the mouth to the angle of the jaw 19
20.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Open the mouth ā¢ Cross your thumb and forefinger and place them on the upper and lower teeth to one side of the mouth and spread them apart ā¢ Position the OPA so the tip is pointing to the roof of the mouth ā¢ Slide it back along the roof of the mouth, taking care not to push the tongue back into the throat 20
21.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Continue pushing until you meet resistance at the soft palate, or about halfway in ā¢ Carefully watch what youāre doing ā¢ Gently Rotate OPA 180 Degrees: ā Tip points toward base of tongue 21
22.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Flange of device is next to patients lips ā¢ The device is now ready for use in ventilation 22
23.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ The insertion technique is different for children than that of adults ā¢ Choose the correct size: ā Measuring it from the corner of the mouth to the earlobe ā¢ Use a tongue depressor to hold the tongue down against the base of the mouth 23
24.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Insert the OPA the same position it will remain after insertion: ā¢ The tip pointing toward the tongue and throat 24
25.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ If during insertion the patient exhibits a gag reflex, immediately remove it to prevent vomiting: ā¢ Instead maintain an open airway manually 25
26.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Maintain the head-tilt, chin lift or the jaw-thrust maneuver whenever you use an airway adjunct ā¢ Monitor the airway throughout care ā¢ If the patient regains consciousness during your care or exhibits a gag reflex during insertion: ā¢ Immediately remove the device ā¢ Be prepared to suction 26
27.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ The nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) is inserted through the nose ā¢ It is a flexible tube that āgivesā if the patient were to swallow 27
28.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Used on patients with a reduced level of responsiveness: ā Who still might have an intact gag reflex ā May regain consciousness during interventions 28
29.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Use the NPA only on patients who have not suffered a head trauma: ā No signs and symptoms of skull fracture or facial injuries 29
30.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Select diameter: ā Approximately matches nostril ā¢ To measure the length: ā Hold it next to the patientās face ā It should extend from the tip of the nose to the tip of the ear lobe ā¢ OR: ā Tip of the nose to the angle of the jaw 30
31.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ Apply a sterile, water- soluble lubricant to the outside of NPA ā¢ Gently push the tip of the nose upward ā¢ Insert the device in the larger, more open nostril: ā Until flange rests against the nostril 31
32.
Emergency Medical Technician 7
- Airway Management & Artificial Ventilation Ā© 2014 ā¢ As a general rule, nasopharyngeal airways should be avoided in young children and infants due to the smaller size of the nose 32
33.
