1.WHAT IS ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION ?
Endotracheal intubation is the placement of a special tube in trachea
2.WHAT ARE THE INDICATION OF INTUBATION ?
* To secure airway
* to supply oxygen
* general Anesthesia
*Cardio pulmonary resucitation
* ventilatory therapy in ICU
3. EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED FOR INTUBATION
*Different sizes of cuffed and plain
ET TUBE
0-1 yrs- 2.5 to 3.5 mm ( plain )
1-3 yrs- 4to 5 mm
4-6 yrs - 5 to 6 mm
6-10 yrs - 6 to 7 mm( cuffed )
adult female - 7 to 8 mm
adult male - 8 to 9 mm
*laryngoscope
* magill's forceps
* Stethoscope
* syringe
*source for ventilation *suction
4.TECHNIQUE OF INTUBATION
*Raise the head by 5cm with a block or ring pillow
* Extension at atlanto-occipital joint
* Flexion at neck
* hold the laryngoscpoe with LEFT hand irrespective of dominant hand
* open the mouth with right hand index finger with support of thumb
*introduce Laryngoscpoe from right angle of mouth
*shift the tongue to left go in
* press over tongue
* see Epigllotis and lift ît
*watch for voccal cords
* take the tube in right hand
*introduce under vision
*confirm placement by auscultation
*if tube is cuffed inflate the cuff with syringe
* connect the source to tube
5.CONFIRMATION OF INTUBATION
* by auscultation
* by chest expansion
*by bag movement
* end tidal CO2
AFTER INTUBATION
*fix the tube with adhesive
*conection to ventilate with ambu's Bag, anesthesia machine or ventilator
6.CONFIRMATION OF INTUBATION
*Tachycardia
*rise in blood pressure
*Increase in secretions
* Laryngospasm
* bronchospasm
*tube in oesophagous
* endobrocheal intubation
*trauma to lips tooth
*Bleeding
* Leak
*Trachities
*Cough
* sore throat
* barotrauma to Lungs
7.EFFECTS OF INTUBATION
*increase in supply of O2
* to give general anesthesia
* improove exhalation of C02
8.EXTUBATION
It is advisable if the cause is treated
* throat suction *Laryngoscopy
* Reflexes
* Spo2
* adequate respiration *level of consciousness
* extubate
FAILED OR DIFFICULT INTUBATION
*if mouth opening restricted
* anterior vocal cords *burn contracture
For these condition one may require other options like
fibro optic intubatioñ
* awake intubation
* retrogate intubation *supra epiglotic device like Laryngeal mask airway (LMA)
