Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...

Larynx

Larynx

The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Speech and Hearing Sciences

Background:

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) results in glottic insufficiency, causing symptoms like hoarseness, chronic cough, dysphagia, and aspiration.
Severe cases of UVFP may lead to airway obstruction requiring a tracheostomy.

Purpose of the Study:

This chapter focuses on the technique of vocal fold injection for medialization in patients with UVFP.

Main Methods:

The chapter will discuss the procedural steps and considerations for performing vocal fold injection.
Key aspects of the injection technique for medializing a paralyzed vocal fold will be elaborated.

Main Results:

Vocal fold injection is presented as a viable treatment option for glottic insufficiency due to UVFP.
The technique aims to restore vocal fold function and improve related symptoms.

Conclusions:

Vocal fold injection is an important therapeutic option for managing unilateral vocal fold paralysis.
Effective execution of the injection technique is crucial for successful medialization and symptom improvement.
