A

More than you need to know!

19
Q
  1. Complications Tracheostomy
A
  1. Most common complications leading to death
    • Plugging of airway with mucus
    • Accidental decannulation

Others

  • Bleeding
  • Granulation
  • Erosion
  • Tracheomalacia
  • Speech and phonation (Passy-Muir)
  • Swallowing

22
Q

22.What are the Suction Procedure?

A
  1. O2
  2. Bag and mask
  3. Sterile catheters and gloves Lavage
  4. Stethoscope

Regulator

60-80 infant
80-100 child 1
00-120 adults

  • Pass catheter just past tip of ETT do not hit the carina Measure tube and go depth indicated
    Catheter size less than 1⁄2 the ID of tube
    Steps.
  • Pre-oxygenate (10-20% higher or 100% if needed) -
  • Manually ventilate using same peak pressures and PEEP Moisten tip of catheter
  • Go in predetermined depth
  • Pull back 0.5 to 1.5 cm
  • Apply suction intermittently
  • 10 seconds total, 5 seconds with suction on
  • Lavage controversial
    NaCl ( see algorithm page 241)
    Use small amounts, 0.5 to 1 ml for neonates
23
Q
  1. Nasotracheal
A
  1. No airway
  2. Advance on inspiration
  3. Watch for vagal stimulation (bradycardia)
  4. Bulb-be gentle
  5. Closed system
  6. Ideal
    - Maintain ventilation Maintain PEEP
    - Less drops in SpO2 Less spray, etc

Disadvantages
- Catheter not pulled all the way back occluding airway - Suction left on
