Airway Management (Procedure (Rapid Sequence intubation (RSI) (Rapid,…

- - - - MOV technique :pencil2:For mechanically ventilated patients: (Place stethoscope over trachea: Inflate cuff to MOV by adding air until no air leak is heard at peak inspiratory pressure) :pencil2: For spontaneously breathing patients: (Inflate cuff until no sound is heard after a deep breath or after inhalation with a BVM)
      - MLT :pencil2: Similar to MOV technique with one exception :pencil2:Small amount of air is removed from cuff until a slight leak is auscultated at peak inflation
  - - - Incorrect tube placement is an emergency
        
        Stay with patient and maintain airway; Support ventilation; Secure help immediately; If necessary, ventilate with BVM at 100% O2
- - - - Prevent hypoxemia & dysrhythmias during suctioning Hyperoxygenate before and after; Limit each pass to <10 seconds; Monitor ECG and SpO2 before, during and after suctioning
      - Prevent mucosal damage Limit suction pressures to <120 mmHg; Avoid overly vigorous catheter insertion
