BASIC ESSENTIALS
The BAG VALVE MASK How the Bag Valve Mask works Bag valve mask use
Technique is important as aggressive bagging results in gastric distension. Use the 1-2 second rule- 'bag-em slow' Rate of Bagging Critical in the Arrest patient, as more than 10 breaths per minute are associated with ZERO survival (secondary to increased intra-thoracic pressure and decrease coronary perfusion pressure). THE LARYNGEAL MASK How to use it? Making more use of it in the ED. |
DRUGS AND EQUIPMENT
The DRUGS OF INTUBATION A discussion of the main drugs used in intubation and how to use them:
The LARYNGOSCOPE

BASIC INTUBATION
This station looks at the basic technique of intubation: POSITIONING THE PATIENT The best position for the non-trauma patient, especially for obese patients and this translates to others is sternal notch aligned with the external auditory meatus. Plus other positioning. THE LARYNGOSCOPE SWEEP Sweep from right to left and displace the tongue so you have a view. LOOKING FOR THE EPIGLOTTIS The landmark to look for is the epiglottis. This ensures that you start high and progress the laryngoscope down. One mistake people make is to put the laryngoscope in too deep. THE INTRODUCER The placement of an introducer into the tube is one of the musts taught in this course. PUTTING IN THE TUBE Ensure that your laryngoscope has swept the tongue to the left and now you should have lots of room to put in the tube. Progress the tube so you are watching it go from below upwards into the cords, so you have a view at all times. |

ADVANCED INTUBATION
We now take the previous patient and make the larynx difficult for you to intubate. The tongue may become swollen. We change the anatomy to give you the chance to face the difficult patient. We introduce you to the BOUGIE. We also introduce you to the intubating laryngeal mask. HAVE A PLAN We want you to have a plan if things don't work out right. What's your plan? |
THE SURGICAL AIRWAY
Using animal tracheas, we will practice the surgical airway and introduce you to 2 techniques: THE HORIZONTAL CUT/BOUGIE/TUBE TECHNIQUE and THE VERTICAL CUT/ PALPATE /PUNCTURE /TUBE TECHNIQUE |
Following the 5 stations, there will be ample time to practice your skills on all the manikins, under the watchful eyes of our airway gurus, so you feel confident with your technique.
