AIRWAY MANAGEMENT
Pre operative Airway Assessment:
1. Identifying indicators of difficult bag mask ventilation (BMV) =MOANS
2. Identifying risks for difficult intubation=LEMON
*THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND TREAT AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION,
THEN VENTILATE WITH A BAG AND MASK IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
THE ABILITY TO INTUBATE.
♦ Assess For Airway Obstruction
OPENING THE AIRWAY-Head Tilt-Jaw Thrust (Triple Airway Maneuver)
4
♦ Check equipment
Ventilating With a Bag and Mask (BMV)
♦ Place in sniffing position and pull head into extension with your left hand.
♦ Place the apex of the triangular mask on the bridge of the nose and press firmly.
♦ Grasp each side of the mask with your hands and spread it as much as you can
♦ As you spread the mask, reach down with your index fingers and pull the loose cheek
tissue forward to bunch on either side of the mouth.
♦ Place your remaining fingers on the jaw and lift upward.
5
♦ While maintaining the mask fit and patent airway with your left hand, squeeze the
bag with your right hand
♦ Gastric distention and regurgitation
♦ How do you know if there is air exchange?

Mallampati Classification

How would you assess Mallampati classification?
Thyromental Distance Measurement
♦ Measurement from the lower border of the mandible to the thyroid notch with the
neck fully extended.
♦ Measurements of less than
potentially difficult airway.
♦ Assess mobility of larynx.
cm or three finger breaths can indicate a

Temporomandibular Joint Mobility
♦ Three finger breaths opening is adequate
♦ Assess for TMJ click
♦ Mandibular glide
♦ Touch chin to chest
♦ Extend head

Why is it vital to perform an airway assessment on every patient having anesthesia?
11
Preoperative Airway Assessment Length of upper incisors Long Incisors Less room for blade in mouth
Voluntary protrusion of mandibular teeth anterior to
the maxillary teeth
Anterior protrusion of the mandibular teeth relative to
the maxillary teeth
Test of TMJ function
Interincisor distance Greater than 3 cm Ability to open mouth and insert blade
Oropharyngeal classification (Mallampati Classification)
Class I and II
Class III and IV
I and II-Tongue small in relation to oral cavity
III and IV-Tongue large in
relation to oral cavity
Narrowness of palate With greater narrowness Decreased oropharyngeal volume and room for the blade
and ETT
Thyromental distance Greater than 6 cm or greater than three finger breadths
Larynx is relatively posterior to upper airway structures
Length of neck Subjective Decreased ability to align the upper airway axes
Thickness of neck Subjective Decreased ability to align the upper airway axes
Range of motion of head and neck
Neck flexion to chest 35°
Head extended on neck 80°
Ability to achieve a proper sniffing position
GOT TEETH?
♦ Chipped
♦ Broken
♦ Loose
♦ Dentures
♦ Overbite
♦ Braces/Retainers
♦ Tongue rings

PREOXYGENATION
Cricoid Pressure
♦ Is performed in the following situations:
9 All emergency surgery
9 Obese patients
9 History of gastric acid reflux
9 Diabetics
9 Pregnant patients
9 Optimal external laryngeal manipulation (OELM)
9 Any other patients that are high risk for gastric aspiration.
9 Current controversies regarding cricoid pressure

INTUBATION
THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND TREAT AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION,
THEN VENTILATE WITH A BAG AND MASK IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
THE ABILITY TO INTUBATE
Pre-Intubation Checklist
♦ Anesthesia machine check
♦ Anesthetic drugs
♦ Laryngoscope and several different blades
♦ Endotracheal tubes and stylets
♦ Oral airways
♦ Suction
♦ Ambu bag
♦ Preoperative airway assessment
Head Position- Aligning the Axes of the Upper Airway
15
♦ The axes must be aligned in to make a straight path from the incisors to the larynx.
♦ The three axes are:

Sniffing Position
Which picture best demonstrates correct sniffing position?
17 What is it about these obese patients that may make ventilation and intubation difficult?
Why will desaturation occur rapidly in obese patients?
18
Could she be difficult to ventilate/intubate?

♦ The endotracheal tube cuff is advanced cm past the vocal cords.
♦ After placement, the laryngoscope blade is removed from the mouth.
♦ The endotracheal tube cuff is inflated, and positive pressure ventilation is instituted.
27
Confirmation of Endotracheal Tube Placement
♦ DIRECT VISUALIZATION OF THE ETT BETWEEN THE CORDS
♦ PRESENCE OF END-TIDAL CARBON DIOXIDE
♦ OBSERVATION OF CHEST RISE AND FALL DURING VENTILATION
♦ AUSCULATATION FOR BREATH SOUNDS
♦ CONDENSATION ON THE ETT DURING EXHALATION
♦ RESERVOIR BAG COMPLIANCE AND REFILLING
Intubating the esophagus in most cases is not catastrophic.
The catastrophe occurs if the esophageal intubation is not recognized.
Why isn’t decreased SaO2 used to initially confirm ETT placement?
♦ Depth of insertion
28
List signs that would alert you to the fact that the ETT is in the right mainstem bronchus?
List signs that alert you to the fact that the distal end of the ETT is above the vocal cords?
What are your first interventions if an intubated patient is desaturating?
