  29. Airway • The most important steps in patient care are obtaining and maintaining a patent airway. • Oxygenation of the body’s tissues occurs through the processes of breathing and circulation. • The primary objective of emergency care is to ensure optimal ventilation. • Airway maneuvers are often neglected skills.

  30. Anatomy of the Upper Airway (1 of 2) • Divided into upper and lower airways • Major functions of the upper airway • Warm, filter, and humidify air brought into the body • Pharynx • First portion of the upper airway • Composed of the nasopharynx and oropharynx

  31. Anatomy of the Upper Airway (2 of 2) • Nasopharynx • Union of facial bones • Divided by septum • Contains the cilia and the turbinates • Oropharnyx • Oral cavity; begins with the mouth and teeth • Tongue, palate, epiglottis, and vallecula • Larynx • Complex structure • Glottic opening is the narrowest portion of the trachea

  32. Anatomy of the Lower Airway • The function of the lower airway is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. • Extends from C4 to the xiphoid process (externally); glottic opening to pulmonary capillary membrane (internally). • Inhalation • Surfactant • Atelectasis

  33. Lung and Respiratory Volumes • Average adult male total lung capacity is 6 L • Tidal volume (average 5-7 mL/kg) • Dead space • Alveolar air • Minute volume • Functional reserve capacity • Residual volume • Inspiratory/expiratory reserve volumes

  34. Ventilation (1 of 2) • Movement of air into and out of the lungs • Two phases of ventilation: • Inspiration • Stimulus to breathe comes from the respiratory center located in the medulla • Expiration • Stretch receptors in the chest wall and bronchioles send a signal to the apneustic center to inhibit the inspiratory center • Hering-Breuer reflex

  35. Ventilation (2 of 2) • Respiration is the exchange of gases between a living organism and its environment. • Two types of respiration: • External – exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood cells • Internal – exchange of gases between the blood cells and tissues

  36. Causes of Decreased Oxygen Concentration in the Blood • Any condition that reduces the surface area for gas exchange also decreases the oxygen supply • Pneumothorax • Decreased mechanical effort • Medical conditions • Pulmonary edema

  37. Carbon Dioxide in the Blood • Fluctuates in relation to changes in breathing. • Hyperventilation rids the body of excessive amounts of carbon dioxide.

  38. The Measurement of Gases • Dalton’s law of partial pressure • Total pressure of air (sea level) 760 torr • Major components • Nitrogen • Oxygen • Carbon dioxide • Water vapor

  39. Respiratory Rate (1 of 2) • Neural control • Comes from medulla and pons • Apneustic center • Chemical stimuli • Chemoreceptors monitor the chemical composition of body fluids • Hypoxic drive is a “backup system”

  40. Respiratory Rate (2 of 2) • Control of respiration by other factors • Increase or decrease respirations according to need. • Certain medications cause the respiratory rate to increase or decrease. • Respirations decrease as metabolism slows.

  41. Airway Evaluation • Essential parameters • Bellows system • Normal rate: 12-20 breaths/min • Recognition of airway problems • Respiratory rate, regularity, or effort • Look, listen, and feel technique • History of present illness • Respiratory pattern changes

  42. Acid-Base Balance (1 of 2) • Defining the acidity of a solution • Amount of free hydrogen ion • Ion shifts • Acid-base balance on both sides of the cell • Buffers • Imagined as a bucket • Circulating bicarbonate buffer • Holds and neutralizes excess acid

  43. Acid-Base Balance (2 of 2) • Respiratory component • Fastest way to rid the body of excess hydrogen ions • Maintaining circulating levels of carbon dioxide in the blood • Renal component • Kidneys respond but take hours to days to restore pH • Excreting the acid

  44. Compensatory Mechanisms • Acid-base disorders not immediately correctable by the body’s buffering systems initiate compensatory mechanisms to help return levels to normal.

  45. Clinical Presentation (1 of 2) • Two types of acid-base disorders • Metabolic and respiratory • Respiratory acidosis • Always related to hypoventilation • COPD • Creates respiratory acidosis over time • Hypoxic drive stimulates breathing based on circulating oxygen levels in the bloodstream

  46. Clinical Presentation (2 of 2) • Respiratory alkalosis • Always the result of hyperventilation • Metabolic acidosis • Any acidosis not related to the respiratory system • Metabolic alkalosis • Results from excessive loss of acid, either from urination or decreased acid levels in the stomach

  47. Maintaining the Airway • Recovery position • Helps maintain a clear airway in a patient who has not had traumatic injuries and is breathing on their own with a normal rate and adequate tidal volume • Prevents aspiration of vomitus

  48. Airway Management • Emergency medical care begins with ensuring a patient’s airway is open and breathing is adequate. • The most common cause of airway obstruction in an unresponsive patient is the tongue.

  49. Manual Maneuvers • Head tilt-chin lift maneuver • Jaw-thrust maneuver • Jaw-thrust with head tilt • Tongue-jaw lift maneuver
