Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure01:15

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure

741
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management

479
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

376
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils,...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps01:16

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

134
A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.
Required Equipment
The equipment necessary for tracheostomy care includes:

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding01:26

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

196
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece01:23

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

467
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Nasotracheal intubation is vital for oral and maxillofacial surgery but poses challenges compared to orotracheal intubation.
  • Requires advanced training and offers multiple procedural options.
  • An endotracheal tube (ETT)-first nasal fiberoptic intubation protocol is recommended for difficult or impossible orotracheal intubations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and success rate of a standardized ETT-first nasal fiberoptic intubation technique.
  • To establish a predictive formula for optimal endotracheal tube depth based on patient characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 137 patients undergoing general anesthesia for oral and maxillofacial procedures.
  • Utilized a strict ETT-first protocol for nasal fiberoptic intubation.
  • Measured preintubation ETT depth and correlated it with patient height, weight, and gender.

Main Results:

  • The mean preintubation ETT depth was 14 cm from the nares.
  • Achieved a 97.8% first-pass success rate for intubation.
  • Mean intubation time was 68.5 seconds, irrespective of provider experience.

Conclusions:

  • The ETT-first nasal fiberoptic intubation protocol is highly effective and successful.
  • The proposed depth selection method simplifies the procedure and ensures excellent glottic visualization.
  • This technique is reliable across different provider skill levels.
