Dr Akram Babikir’s Basic Airway Summary

 

Presented by Akram Babkir

SHO

Emergency medicine Team

Sligo Regional Hospital

Look, listen, and feel for diminished or absent air movement.

  • Observe the pt level of consciousness and determine if apnea is present.
  • Identify injury to the airway or other conditions like cervical spine injury that will affect assessment and manipulation of the airway

 

  • Observe chest expansion.
  • Observe for suprasternal , supraclavicular , or intercostal retractions, laryngeal displacement toward the chest during inspiration(tracheal tug ) or nasal flaring. These often represent respiratory distress with or without airway obstruction.

 Manual methods to establish an airway

  •  Slight neck extension
  • Elevation of the mandible ( jaw thrust maneuver).
  • Opening of the mouth

Be aware of cervical spine injury
