Airway Management
• Types of artificial airways• Indications• Complications• Placement
3
Types of Artificial Airways
• Pharyngeal• Endotracheal Tubes• Tracheostomy
Tubes• Laryngeal Masks
4
Pharyngeal Airways• Indications
– Prevent obstruction from tongue in unconscious patient
– Facilitate suctioning– Facilitate mask/bag ventilation
• Complications– May stimulate gag reflex in conscious or
semi-conscious patient– Vomiting and aspiration
• Oral or nasal pharyngeal airways
5
Oral Pharyngeal Airways• Types
– Berman– Guedel
• Placement– Cross-finger technique– Horizontal then turn down– Correct size - estimate from
lips to earlobe or angle of jaw

Nasopharyngeal• nasal “Trumpet”• Indicated when oral
airway not feasible– Lock jaw– Fractured mandible– Pt conscious
• Facilitates frequent nasotracheal suctioning (NTS)
• Placement - lubricant• Hazards

Endotracheal Tubes (ETT)
• Tube inserted through nose or mouth• Between vocal cords• Into trachea• Tip of tube 2 inches above carina
15
Indications ETT
• Airway of choice during CPR• Cuff inflated in trachea protects lower
airway and maintains a seal for ventilation
• Facilitates suctioning of lower airway
16
Types of Endotracheal tubes
• Single lumen• Double lumen (Carlen’s tube)• Cole tube

21
Tube sizes• Adult male
– 34 - 36 French or 8.0 - 8.5 mm ID– (mm ID x 4) + 2 = French– Usually no cuff on tubes < 6.5 mm
• Adult female– 32 - 34 French or 7.5 - 8.0 mm ID
• Pediatric sizes (> 2 y.o.)– 4.5 + (Age/4)
• Pediatric sizes (< 2 y.o.)– As large as child’s little finger
22
Estimating Tube Size (ID)
• ID = (Age + 16) / 4• ID = Height (cm) / 20
23
Estimating Tube Length (cm )
• Oral: 12 + (Age / 2)• Nasal: 15 + (Age / 2)
24
Distances
• Teeth - cords adult - 12 - 15 cm• Teeth - carina approximately 27 cm• Trachea - 11 - 13 cm• Adult trachea diameter 1.5 - 2.5 cm• Infant trachea diameter 4 mm
25
AverageAverage depth of ETT insertion:

Intubation
• Larynx is visualized and the endotracheal tube is placed through the glottis.
• Want to actually visualize the cuff passing through the glottis.

Difficult airway management algorithm
From Benumof, J. L. (1991) Management of the difficult adult airway. Anesthesiology 74, 1087-1110.
33
Laryngoscopic view
Grade II or III requiring multiple intubation attempts relatively common ( 1 - 18%).
Grade III or IV with unsuccessful intubation rare (.05 - .35%)Cannot ventilate by mask or intubate -> transtracheal jet
ventilation, tracheostomy (.0001 - .02%).
From Benumof, J. L. (1991) Management of the difficult adult airway. Anesthesiology 74, 1087-1110.
34
Relative tongue/pharyngeal size airway view
If patient in class I airway view then laryngoscopic view is grade I 99-100% of the time. If class IV airway view then laryngoscopic view is grade III or IV 100% of the time.
From Benumof, J. L. (1991) Management of the difficult adult airway. Anesthesiology 74, 1087-1110.

37
Nasal Intubation• Spray 2% lidocaine
and 0.25% Neosynephrine in nose
• Do blind intubation or
• Use Magill forceps to guide tube into place
• Use smaller ID tube
• Average distance from mid-trachea to naris is 25 cm
p 142 Principles of Airway Management
38
Infant Intubation
• Place tip of either straight or curved blade at the vallecula.
• Do not try and lift epiglottis with straight blade.
39
Types of Cuffs
• Low Pressure - High Volume• High Pressure - Low Volume (old)• Fome Cuff - Ambient pressure (do not
inflate)
40
Cuff Pressure
Cuff pressure < 20 cm H2O (≤ 15 torr)
Cuff pressure > 5 torr blocks lymphatic drainage
Cuff pressure > 18 blocks venous drainageCuff pressure > 30 blocks arterial flow

Two Methods of Cuff Inflation
• Minimal Leak• Minimal Occlusion
42
Audible leak only at Audible leak only at endend inspiration inspiration
Minimal Leak
43
Disadvantages ETT
• By-passes upper airway– 100% RH at 32 - 34o C
• May be trauma during insertion• Patient cannot talk• Numerous complications
44
Complications of ETT
• During intubation• While tube in place• During extubation• After extubation
45
Complications During Intubation
• Trauma• Right mainstem intubation• Esophageal intubation
– Easy Cap CO2 detectors – turns yellow with CO2
46
Right mainstem intubation
47
Complications While Tube in Place
• Pressure necrosis• Mucosal edema• Laryngeal/tracheal granulomas• Tracheoesophageal fistula• Dislocated tube• Problems with cuff• Patient Disconnection from tube• Nosocomial infection
48
Tube Changer
• Insert in ET tube to change• Note cm at teeth• Slip old tube off keeping changer in
place• Slip new tube on changer down to the
same level
49
50
Complications During Extubation
• Laryngeal spasm• Vocal cord trauma
• Treat by applying slight positive pressure via mask and bag until anesthesiology gets there with succinylcholine, a rapid acting muscle relaxant.
51
When Extubating
• Have oxygen ready (APN)• Have bag and mask ready• Have racemic epinephrine handy
52
Complications After Extubation• Hoarseness – temporary vocal cord injury (if
lasts > week → granuloma formation*)• Glottic edema (adults) → Inspiratory Stridor
– Aerosolize racemic epinephrine (0.5 ml of 2.25%) and steroid (1 mg of dexamethasone) in 4 ml NS
– Will need to re-intubate if aerosol fails to reduce swelling
• Subglottic edema (infants) → Inspiratory Stridor– because cricoid ring narrowest point along infant
larynx and trachea it’s exposed to > potential injury during intubation
– must re-intubate• Tracheal stenosis – rarely occurs if cuff properly
inflated and maintained* Shapiro, p 269
53
Laryngeal Masks• Positioned in the hypopharynx
– Separates esophagus from trachea– Doesn’t keep esophageal sphincter open
(EOA)– Doesn’t keep glottis open (ETT)
• Indications– Used instead of face masks for anesthesia– In cases of difficult intubation– Emergency cases waiting for intubation
54

55
Contra-indications for Laryngeal Masks
• Full stomach• Hiatal hernia - protrusion of a portion
of the stomach up through the diaphragm - occurs in about 40% pop --> Gastroesophageal reflux
• Need for controlled ventilation
56
Placement (show videos)• Deflate cuff• Hyperextend neck• Insert mask parallel to palate• When esophageal sphincter is reached will
feel resistance• Inflate cuff• Black line must always be up
– Mask must not rotate• Secure in place
57
Tracheostomy Tubes
• Indications– Provide long term airway – Intubated > 21 days– Allows better mouth care– Oral feeding
58
Tracheotomy• Tracheotomy = Surgical procedure• Incision between 2nd and 3rd
cartilaginous rings• Best done as elective surgical
procedure under sterile conditions• Tracheostomy = opening or stoma• Percutaneous tracheotomy proced

Parts to Tracheostomy Tube
Obturator Inner cannula Outer cannula
60
Complications of Tracheostomy Tubes
• Stoma• Cuff site• Tip of trach tube
–snowplowing
61
Tracheal Stenosis
• Tracheal stenosis – scar tissue narrows trachea, usually at point where cuff was in contact with tracheal wall. Scar tissue can also accumulate at stoma site

Passy-Muir Tracheostomy Speaking Valve
• One-way valve fits on trach tube• Allows inspiration through trach tube• Allows expiration through larynx• Must DEFLATE CUFF when used with
cuffed tubes• Warning labels should be placed on
pilot balloon
69
Passy-Muirvalve
Must be
Deflated
70
Considerations
• Can be applied 48-72 hours after tracheotomy
• As soon as surgical secretions have minimized
• Cuffless tracheostomy tube preferred• Tracheostomy tube should be 2/3 size
of trachea
71
Precautions
• Observe patient for difficulty using valve• Upper airway obstruction may be
present– Stenosis– Masses– Secretions– Tracheostomy tube too large
72
Complications
• Secretions may cause valve to stick• Cuff not deflated
73
Contraindications for Passy-Muir Valve
• Severe tracheal or laryngeal stenosis• Laryngectomized patients
74
Trach Buttons
75
Tracheostomy Care
• Trach Care– Suction– Replace disposable inner cannula on temporary
tubes [Make sure replacement inner cannula is the correct sizecorrect size!] – clean inner cannula on metal tubes and reuse
– Disinfect around stoma/ replace trach tube ties– Change trach dressing [or when soiled]
• Monitor cuff pressure [check that MOT/MLT]
76
Special Emergency Airway Situations
• Foreign Body Obstruction• Laryngeal Trauma• Laryngospasm
77
Two Emergency Procedures
• Cricothyroidotomy (used to be preferred route)
• Transtracheal catherization (preferred route)
78
Cricothyroidotomy
• Laryngotomy not tracheotomy• Surgical opening through
cricothyroid membrane– Directly below Adam’s apple
(thyroid cartilage)• Safer, quicker, and easier than
tracheotomy
79
Cricothyroid membrane
• Easy to locate• Below vocal cords• Well supported by
surrounding cartilage• Less vascular than
anterior trachea• Not hidden by thyroid
tissue
thyroidthyroidcartilagecartilage
cricoidcricoidcartilagecartilage
80
Cricothyroidotomy
• Not suitable in small children or infants
81
Procedure• Neck is hyper-extended• Thyroid and cricoid cartilage palpated• Vertical midline incision made between the
two cartilages• Incision spread• Cricothyroid membrane cut horizontally,
just above cricoid cartilage• At least a 6-mm ID trach tube can be
inserted into trachea - can also use endotracheal tube through stoma
82
Complications of Cricothyroidotomy
• Hemorrhage• Permanent vocal cord damage• Esophageal trauma
83
Alternative Procedure - Transtracheal Catherization
• Puncture cricothyroid membrane with large bore needle (14 - 16 gauge) surrounded by plastic catheter
• Direct needle caudally at 45o angle• Withdraw plunger as insert needle• Air indicates needle in trachea• Advance catheter over needle into
trachea• Attach IV tubing to gas source for
ventilation
84
85
86
Transtracheal ventilation
• IV tubing connected to 15 LPM oxygen• Opening in tubing used as a thumb
control• Cover hole to inflate chest• Uncover hole to allow exhalation
through nose and mouth• Opening can be 3-way stop-cock
87
Complications of Transtracheal Catheterization
• Misplacement of catheter into esophagus
• Puncture of artery• Subcutaneous and mediastinal
emphysema• Inadequate exhalation if upper
airway blocked
88
Also Devices like NuTrak
• Larger needle• Inserted the same way• Can connect larger tubing to
NuTrak for easier ventilation
89
These emergency airways should be replaced with
appropriate airways ASAP - tracheotomy under sterile O.R.
