Airway Facts1.More than 85% of all respiratory-related

malpractice claims in the US involve a brain-damaged or dead patient (Caplan et al 1990).

2.Poor management of the difficult airway accounts for as many as 30% of deaths due to anesthesia (Benumof and Scheller 1989).

Three Basic Management Choices...to be made for each airway situation

1. Nonsurgical vs surgical airway for the initial approach to intubation

2. Maintenance of spontaneous breathing vs breathing for the patient

3. Awake intubation vs intubation after induction of general anesthesia

Page 10: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Major Techniques of Airway Management

• Bag mask ventilation

• Endotracheal intubation

• Supraglottic airway devices

• Surgical airway management

Page 11: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.
Page 12: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Goals of Clinical Airway Management

Choice of technique will depend on management goals …

Page 13: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Clinical Airway Management Has Three Goals:

• Maintenance of adequate oxygenation (as measured by PaO2 or SaO2)

• Maintenance of adequate ventilation (as measured by ETCO2 or PaCO2)

• Protection of the airway from injury (avoiding aspiration, barotrauma, infection etc.)

Page 14: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Oxygenation

Oxygenation is controlled principally by adjusting the fraction of inspired oxygen (FI02 ) setting on the ventilator, although PEEP adjustment is equally important to improve oxygenation in patients with acute lung injury

Page 15: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Oxygenation: PEEP• PEEP or positive end expiratory pressure,

is the minimum lung distending pressure over expiration (see parameter 1 in figure)

• It is usually set between 2 and 5 cm H2O in patients with normal lungs

Page 16: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Oxygenation: PEEP

Page 17: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Controlling Ventilation

• Ventilation is determined by adjusting two things on the ventilator:

tidal volume (TV)

and

respiratory rate (RR) • TV typically 10 ml / kg (unless permissive hypercapnea desired)

• RR typically 10 / min

Page 18: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Protection of the Airway From Soiling and Injury

Protection of the airway from soiling due to aspiration of gastric contents is achieved in unconscious patients (due to general anaesthesia or head injury) by using a cuffed endotracheal tube.

Page 19: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Aspiration Pneumonitis

Unintubated patients may develop deadly aspiration pneumonitis if stomach contents spill into the lungs (especially if the pH is < 2.5 or aspirated volume > 25 ml).

Kuhn tracheal intubation set from the Collection of the Instrument Maker Carl Reiner (Vienna, Austria). The manufacturer is unknown.

http://www.adair.at/eng/museum/equip/tracheal/kuhnintubationsetobject01.htm

About 1900, Franz Kuhn (1866 to 1929, German surgeon) developed a tracheal intubation set. Unfortunately, most of his surgical colleagues did not recognize the importance of tracheal intubation since they were influenced by the surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch (1875 to 1951) who refused to use this technique.

Major Techniques of Airway Management

• Bag mask ventilation

• Endotracheal intubation

• Supraglottic airway devices

• Surgical airway management

Page 25: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Key Questions

Is a supraglottic airway appropriate?

Is there a significant aspiration risk?

Will the patient tolerate an apneic period?

Page 26: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Current Airway Management

Options

Page 27: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 1 Avoid GA

Avoid general anaesthesia - do case under local or regional anesthesia with patient breathing spontaneously.

Page 28: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 2 GA with SV

General anesthesia (e.g. propofol infusion) with patient breathing spontaneously with an unprotected airway and only an oxygen mask.

Page 29: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 3 GA with SV General anesthesia with patient

breathing spontaneously with an unprotected airway using a nasopharyngeal airway.

Page 30: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 4 SGA with SV

Laryngeal mask airway or other SGA with patient breathing spontaneously (airway still unprotected against aspiration.)

Page 31: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 5 SGA with PPV

Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or other SGA.

Page 32: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 6 ETT with SV Spontaneous breathing with an

airway protected using an endotracheal tube (ETT). An uncuffed ETT was once popular with children, but provides less complete protection against aspiration.

Page 33: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 7 ETT with PPV

Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) with an endotracheal tube (ETT). This is the most common option, at least for big cases

Page 34: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Option 8 Surgical Airway

A surgical airway (e.g. tracheostomy under local anesthesia, emergency cricothyroidotomy) may be required in exceptional circumstances.

Page 35: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Transtracheal Jet Ventilation

Preoperative Airway Evaluation

Page 37: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

The Difficult Airway is something you anticipate,

The Failed Airway is something you experience.

(Walls, 2002)

Page 38: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Airway Evaluation

• History – interview / records

• Physical exam

• Imaging

Page 39: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Some Clinical Tests

Presence of facial dysmorphic features Atlanto-occipital mobility Mouth opening Visibility of oropharyngeal structures Thyromental distance Sternomental distance Dentition TMJ mobility

Mallampati scoring system - 1983

• MP class I – uvula, soft palate, faucial pillars are noted

• MP class II – part of the uvula, soft palate, faucial pillars are noted

• MP class III – only soft palate and the base of the uvula are visualized

• MP class IV – soft palate is not visualized

Mallampati Score Significance

• Poor sensitivity, specificity, PPV (positive predictive value)

• Interobserver variability • Phonation improves specificity, but increases

the false negative results• Poor correlation with difficult bag mask

ventilation• Improved PPV when combined with other clinical

tests

Probability of experiencing a difficult intubation for the combination of risk factors: Mallampati class I, II, III, or IV, short neck (SN), protruding maxillary incisors (PI), or receding mandible (RM). Data were obtained from 1500 patients undergoing cesarean delivery with general anesthesia. Rocke et al.

Page 47: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

DL prediction is not VL prediction

Page 48: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Tremblay et al. recorded demographic and morphometric factors for 400 patients undergoing tracheal intubation (TI).

After induction, TI using the GS was performed after the recording of CL grade at DL.

They found a high CL grades at DL, a high upper lip bite test score, and a short sterno-thyroid distance as predictors of difficult GS TI.

Obviously only the last two factors can be assessed at the bedside.

Airway Obstruction

Page 57: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Complete Airway Obstruction

Complete airway obstruction is usually managed by prompt intubation, but surgical airways are sometimes needed as a last resort when neither intubation nor ventilation is possible.

Page 58: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Page 59: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Posterior Displacement of Tongue and Soft Palate

Commonly, obstruction occurs, at least in part, when the tongue base falls back posteriorly to obstruct the oropharynx.

Movement of the soft palate may also contribute to airway obstruction.

Things that Make Mask Ventilation More Difficult

• facial obesity• big, thick beard• large jaw• no teeth• massive facial dressings• recent nasal surgery• delicate skin

(burns, skin grafts, epidermolysis bullosa)

Page 65: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Airway Adjuncts

Airway adjuncts are often helpful in reducing airway obstruction in spontaneously breathing patients. These include oropharyngeal airways (usually adult sizes 8, 9, 10), nasopharyngeal airways (“nasal trumpets” inserted into one or both nostrils) or a supraglottic airway such as the laryngeal mask airway (LMA).

Why Intubate?• As part of general anesthesia• Protect airway against aspiration• Allow positive pressure ventilation (PPV)• Allow airway suctioning (toilet)

• Allow drugs to be given in a “code blue” where

IV access is not yet available *–epinephrine– lidocaine–atropine

Page 81: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Methods of Tracheal Intubation

• Blind methods (including digital)

• Use of a laryngoscope

– Macintosh (curved blade)

– Miller (straight blade)

– Videolaryngoscopes

• Trachlight™ and similar methods

Macintosh Lighted Stylet

In 1957, Sir Robert Reynolds Macintosh and Harry Richards (Oxford, England, UK) reported on a malleable introducer for tracheal tubes which had an illuminated tip. The proximal end was connected to a pocket battery (Anaesthesia 12:223-225, 1957).

Berman Lighted Stylet

In 1959, Robert A Berman (Far Rockaway, New York, USA) described a malleable introducer for tracheal tubes with an illuminated tip (Anesthesiology 20:382-383, 1959).

The Parker Flex-TipTM tubes are available in sizes 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0mm ID.

The tapered, centered, flexible tip of the Parker Flex-TipTM Endotracheal Tube is designed for:

•Better tip visibility

•Gentle sliding off of delicate anatomical structures in the airway

•Easier insertion through narrow glottic openings

•Snag-free "railroading" along fiberoptic scopes

•Gentle "skiing" down tracheal walls

Page 105: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Intubation Bougies

Page 106: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

The Eschmann Bougie is a yellow colored, 60 cm, 15 French, stiff stylet marketed by Portex as Catalog Number 103014 and manufactured in England by Eschmann Health Care. It is fabricated from a braided polyester base with a resin coating. It costs around $75 each and can be reused.

Page 107: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Eschmann Bougie

I have found this stylet to be invaluable when faced with a difficult intubation. The technique is simple. If the tip of the epiglottis is visible, slide the upward angled end of the bougie along the bottom of the epiglottis, feeling gently for the unseen glottic opening. It is unlikely that the bougie will be directed into the more posterior esophagus if care is taken to maintain contact with the bottom of the epiglottis. Once the tip is thought to be through the cords, continue to push it into the trachea. With experience, a positive confirmation of tracheal placement can be made by feeling the "clicks" as the angled tip of the bougie passes over the tracheal rings. A 6 or 7 mm endotracheal tube is then passed over the stylet (the modified Seldinger technique for intubation). If the tube hangs up at the cords, simple twisting of the tube will usually allow it to pass.

If you can’t ventilate or intubate, call for help and open the neck!

Page 109: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Spontaneous breathing is generally safer than paralysis with positive pressure ventilation by mask, especially in cases of airway obstruction

Page 110: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

The “awake” airway is the safest airway to manage

Page 111: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Have a low threshold for waking up the elective patient you are having trouble intubating

Page 112: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Fiberoptic intubation is usually ill-advised in dire emergency cases, even with experience. This is especially true with an edematous, bloody airway.

Page 113: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

If your first intubation attempt fails ---think about what to do differently for attempt number two.

Page 114: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

If you can’t intubate, ventilate! If you cannot intubate in two or three tries, go back to the bag-mask-valve system and contemplate your backup plan

Page 115: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

If you can’t ventilate, intubate!

Page 116: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

Patients die from failure to oxygenate not from failure to intubate.

Page 117: Introduction to Clinical Airway Management D. John Doyle MD PhD Professor of Anesthesia Cleveland Clinic.

If you never use special airway devices in elective cases, you'll definitely not be elegant and slick when you try to use it in an emergency.
