  1. Chapter 9 Airway

  2. Respirations • Every cell of the body requires _______________________ to survive • Oxygen must come in and carbon _______________________ must go out

  3. Metabolism • Metabolism--Process where the body’s cells convert food to _______________________ • Adequate _______________________ required • Carbon dioxide produced as a _______________________ product

  4. Oxygen Requirements • Normal air consists of ____________% oxygen • Exhaled air consists of ____________% oxygen • All cells require oxygen to live • CPR produces only ____________% of the normal cardiac output

  5. Respiratory Anatomy • Nose: The _______________________ pathway • _______________________ : Secondary pathway • Pharynx: The _______________________ • Larynx: Connects the pharynx and trachea • voice box • _______________________ cartilage • _______________________ : leaf shaped flap that covers trachea to prevent food from entering lungs

  6. Respiratory Anatomy • _______________________ : Windpipe • Bronchial Tree: Branching of trachea • Bronchi • Bronchioles • Lungs -Left lung has ___________ lobes -Right lung has ____________ lobes • _______________________ : Tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs

  7. Respiratory Anatomy • Diaphragm: _______________________ that controls breathing • Upper Airway: nasopharynx to just below larynx • Lower Airway: Larynx to _______________________

  8. Diaphragm • Has characteristics of both voluntary and _______________________ muscles • _______________________ -shaped muscle • Divides thorax from abdomen • _______________________ during inhalation • _______________________ during exhalation

  9. Anatomy Review

  10. Breathing Process: Inhalation • _______________________ part of breathing • Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, allowing the lungs to _______________________ . • The decrease in pressure allows lungs to fill with air. • Air travels to the _______________________ where exchange of gases occurs.

  11. Tidal and Minute Volume • Tidal Volume: the amount of air, in _______________________ , that is moved in and out of the lungs with each breath • ___________ to ___________ mL per kilogram • ___________ mL is average for an adult male • Minute Volume: the amount of air moved through the lungs in one _______________________ • Tidal volume X respiratory _______________________

  12. Breathing Process: Exhalation • Does not normally require _______________________ effort • Diaphragm and intercostal muscles _______________________ . • The thorax _______________________ in size, and ribs and muscles assume their normal positions. • The increase in pressure forces air out.

  13. The Body’s Need for Oxygen

  14. Gas Exchange • Inhalation delivers oxygen-rich air to alveoli. • Oxygen diffuses into the _______________________ • The body does not use all the inhaled _______________________ .

  15. Gas Exchange

  16. Control of Breathing • Brain _______________________ controls breathing • Stimulus for breathing is one of the following: • _______________________ Drive: Breathing regulated by the amounts of carbon dioxide in arterial blood - _______________________ Stimulus -As CO2 levels increase, rate increases • _______________________ Drive: Breathing regulated by the amount of oxygen in the arterial blood - _______________________ system -As O2 levels increase, rate decreases

  17. Normal Breathing Characteristics • Normal rate and _______________________ • Regular _______________________ • Good breath _______________________ in both lungs • Regular rise and fall movements in the chest • Easy, not labored

  18. Hypoxia • Hypoxia is the lack of _______________________ • Signs • _______________________, irritability, and fear • Tachycardia • Mental status changes • Use of _______________________ muscles for breathing • Difficulty breathing, possible _______________________ pain

  19. Conditions Resulting in Hypoxia • Myocardial _______________________ • Pulmonary edema • Acute narcotic overdose • Smoke inhalation • _______________________ • Chest injury • Shock • Lung disease • _______________________

  20. Normal Respiration Rates • Adults: ____________ to ____________ breaths/min • Children: ____________ to ____________ breaths/min • Infants: ____________ to ____________ breaths/min

  21. Recognizing Inadequate Breathing • _______________________ breathing • Use of accessory muscles • Pale or _______________________ skin • Cool, _______________________ skin • Irregular respirations • _______________________ lung sounds

  22. Opening the Airway • Head tilt-chin lift • _______________________ patients, medical patients • Jaw-thrust • Suspected _______________________ injury

  23. Head Tilt/Chin Lift

  24. Jaw Thrust

  25. Assessment of the Airway • _______________________. • _______________________. • _______________________.

  26. Basic Airway Adjuncts (1 of 6) Oropharyngeal airways • Keep the _______________________ from blocking the upper airway • Allow for easier suctioning of the airway • Used in conjunction with _______________________ device • Used on unconscious patients without a _______________________ reflex

  27. Basic Airway Adjuncts (2 of 6) Inserting an oropharyngeal airway • Select the proper _______________________ airway. • _______________________ the patient’s mouth. • Hold the airway upside down and insert it in the patient’s mouth. • Rotate the airway ___________° until the flange rests on the patient’s lips.

  28. Basic Airway Adjuncts (3 of 6)

  29. Basic Airway Adjuncts (4 of 6) • Nasopharyngeal airways • Used on _______________________ patients who can’t maintain an airway • Can be used on patients _______________________ a gag reflex • Should not be used on patients with possible _______________________ injuries or nose bleeds

  30. Basic Airway Adjuncts (5 of 6) Inserting a nasopharyngeal airway • Select the proper size airway. • _______________________ the airway. • Gently push the _______________________ open. • With the bevel turned _______________________ the septum, insert the airway.

  44. Calculating Oxygen Duration • (Amount in Bottle (psi)--200 PSI) X Factor Flow (LPM) • 200 PSI is the safety factor to allow for gauge inaccuracy • Answer is in _______________________ of usage • Factor is determined by the _______________________ of the bottle. • D cylinder: 0.16 • E cylinder: 0.28 • M cylinder: 1.56 • H cylinder: 3.14

  45. Calculating Oxygen Duration Example: You are delivering oxygen to a patient using a NRB flowing at 10lpm. The bottle is a E cylinder (factor of 0.3). The bottle has 1,500psi remaining. How long will the bottle last?

  46. Calculating Oxygen Duration • (Amount in Bottle (psi)--200 PSI) X Factor Flow (LPM) • (1,500-200) X 0.3 10 • 1,300 X 0.3 10 • 390 10 • 39 minutes

  49. Artificial Ventilation • Mouth to _______________________ (Not Recommended) • pinch nose closed • take a deep breath • seal your mouth over patients mouth • Mouth to _______________________ (Not Recommended) • use chin lift to hold mouth closed • take a deep breath • seal your mouth over patients nose

  50. Mouth-to-Mask Technique (1 of 2) • _______________________ at patient’s head and open airway. • Place the mask on the patient’s face. • Take a deep breath and breathe into the patient for____________ second. • Remove your mouth and watch for patient’s chest to fall.
