AIRWAY MANAGEMENT
IN THE ICU
Rachel Garvin, MD
Assistant Professor, Neurosurgery
Neurocritical Care
October 5, 2012
• Goals of this Lecture
To give you
some comfort
level with
airways and tips
to help your
patient
Topics to be covered
• Why airway is so important
• Why patients with neurologic injury have airway issues
• Airway Anatomy
• Causes of compromised airway
• Airway Evaluation
• Airway Adjuncts
• Drugs
Why is airway management so important
in the NeuroICU?
• Hypoxemia contributes to secondary brain injury
• Brain injured patients have numerous reasons to have
airway compromise
• You should have an understanding of basic airway
management to aid in your patient’s care
• Study by Rincon et al looked at ARDS/ALI in TBI
• Prevalence of 22% with mortality of 28%
• Significant increase in prevalence over the past 20 years
• More common in young white males
Neural control
• Corticobulbar tract
• Lower CN’s
• Nucleus ambiguus
• Several respiratory centers
• Dorsal medulla
• Ventral medulla
• Dorsal rostral pons
• C-spine/Upper T-spine
Why do neuro patients have respiratory
failure?
• As a result of their primary injury
• Due to secondary injury
• Other injuries
• Development of respiratory infection
• Development of ARDS
• Corral et al looked at non-neurologic complications in
severe TBI patients
• Respiratory infections in 68% of severe TBI patients
• Mortality not increased but hospital LOS, time on
mechanical ventilation increased
Why is it important to understand airway
anatomy?
• Airway Obstruction – where is it?
• Will my rescue devices work?
• What is happening in laryngospasm?
• What if I need to crich someone?
Concerning Airway
Airway Anatomy
Airway Anatomy
Conditions that can compromise airway
• Degree of wakefulness
• Aspiration
• Body habitus
• Concurrent injuries
• Medications
• Co-morbidities
Airway Evaluation
Airway Evaluation
Airway Evaluation
Airway Evaluation
• Facial Features
• Beard, no teeth, buck teeth, dentures, recessed jaw
• Neck
• Short neck, landmarks unclear
• Limited Mobility
• C-collar, arthritis
Airway Evaluation
3-3-2 Rule
Quick Assessment:
• Mouth: how much can they open it?
• Tongue: how much can they protrude it?
• Jaw: mobility
• Neck: mobility
Airway Adjuncts – what you can do before
calling anesthesia
• Positioning
• Plastic in orifices
• Preoxygenate
• Jaw Thrust
• Check sedation
Positioning
Positioning
Plastic
Placing a nasal trumpet
• Placed with bevel towards turbinates
• Left sided goes in angled down
• Right sided goes in facing upward and then turned
Placing an Oral Airway
• Pick the appropriate size
• 3-4 for small adult, 4-5 medium, 5-6 large
• Insert facing upward and then rotate down
• Do not use in an awake patient
Preoxygenate
Oxygen Delivery: High vs Low Flow
• Nasal Cannula
• Simple Face Mask
• Nonrebreather Face Mask
• Venti Mask
Flow does NOT = FiO2
LMA
BVM Technique
BVM Technique
If all else fails…..
What drugs do you want?
• Sedatives
• Paralytics
Sedatives
• Etomidate
• Propofol
• Ketamine
Etomidate
• GABA like effects
• Minimal effect on BP; can lower ICP
• Can reduce plasma cortisol levels
• Hepatic metabolism; renally excreted
• Dose 0.3mg/kg
Propofol
• Anesthetic agent
• Respiratory and CV depressant  can drop BP by as
much as 30%
• Vasodilation and negative inotropic effect
• Dose is 1-1.5mg/kg
Ketamine
• Anesthetic and dissociative agent
• Hepatic metabolism
• Can cause laryngeal spasm, hypertension
• Emergence reaction  give benzo with it
• 1-2mg/kg
Paralytics
• Succinylcholine
• Vecuronium
• Rocuronium
• Cisatricurium
If you don’t think you can BVM someone, don’t
paralyze them!!
Succinylcholine
• Only depolarizing NMB
• Avoid in hyperkalemia, 24 hour post major burn,
neuromuscular disease, patients with several days of ICU
critical illness
• Onset in 60 seconds and lasts around 5 minutes
• 1-1.5mg/kg
Rocuronium
• Nondepolarizing
• Onset about 90 seconds and last 30-40 minutes
• Lasts longer in those with hepatic impairment
• Dose is 0.6-1mg/kg
• Effect is dose dependent
Vecuronium
• Similar to rocuronium
• Slower onset time (up to 4 minutes)
• Lasts 40-60 minutes
• 0.08-0.1mg-kg
Conclusion
• Appropriate airway management is crucial in patients with
brain injury
• Remember your airway anatomy and assessment in
patient evaluation
• Use your adjuncts to help you
• Be vigilant in the drugs being given to your patients if
intubation is required
