Extra-glottic Devices Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) King LT I-gel

Blind Insertion Airway Device (BIAD) Indications

Inadequate respiratory drive

Respiratory failure other than:

Burns, anaphylaxis, or other causes of airway swelling/obstruction

Contraindications Massive airway

trauma distorting anatomy

Penetrating neck trauma

WARNING: BIADs may not prevent or block aspiration of gastric contents

BIAD Procedure Prepare, position, and preoxygenate Select appropriate size BIAD and ensure proper cuff inflation/deflation Lubricate with water-soluble jelly Advance tube towards posterior pharynx until seated in correct position Inflate balloon per package insert and attemp BVM If good airflow/chest rise

Secure device in place and ventilate with BVM/vent

If unable to ventilate / resistance Deflate balloon, pass second BIAD

Consider paralytic/analgesia/sedation when placing supraglotic airway devices.Be prepared for vomiting / aspiration!!

Continued Sedation Ketamine (PREFERRED FOR BATTLEFIELD TRAUMA)

0.5-1 mg/kg q 10-20 minutes 1-2 mg/kg/hr continuous infusion

Propofol (NO PAIN CONTROL) 0.5-1.5 mg/kg q 5-10 minutes 10-50 mcg/kg/min continuous infusion

Midazolam ( NO PAIN CONTROL) 0.1 mg/kg q 15-30 minutes

Fentanyl 0.5-2 mcg/kg q 30-60 minutes

Bougie Assisted Tactile Intubation

Face-to-Face Intubation Hold the laryngoscope in the right hand with

blade facing forward like a hatchet Hold ET tube in left hand Insert blade into right side of patient’s mouth,

sweep the tongue to the patient’s left, and visualize the cords
