REVIEW OF ANATOMY
UNDERLYING PROCEDURES USED
IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE
ANATOMY OF THORACIC WALL AND THORACOSTOMY
Thoracostomy is the
insertion of a tube into the
pleural cavity.
Thoracostomy is
performed as a procedure
to drain fluid or blood
(hemothorax) or to remove
air (pneumothorax) from
the pleural cavity.
Knowledge of the anatomy
of the chest is necessary
for accurate tube
placement.

STRUCTURE OF ANTERIOR THORACIC WALL: MOST
STRUCTURES ARE PALPABLE
Rib 1 not
palpable
Rib 2
Suprasternal notch
Manubrium
Sternal angle
Body of sternum
costal cartilage
Xiphoid process
Rib
7
The anterior thoracic wall is
formed by the ribs and sternum;
ribs 1-7 attach to the sternum via
costal cartilages; ribs 8-10 attach
to the costal cartilages above;
ribs 11-12 are floating (cannot be
palpated)
INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES AND COURSE OF INTERCOSTAL
NERVES, ARTERIES AND VEINS
Intercostal muscles
Intercostal vein,
artery, nerve
External
Intercostal
Muscle
Internal
and
Innermost
Intercostal
Muscles
Three layers of
intercostal
muscles are found
between the ribs
(External, Internal
and Innermost
Intercostal Muscles)
Intercostal veins,
arteries and nerves
course in the
intercostal spaces.
COURSE OF INTERCOSTAL NERVES, ARTERIES AND VEINS
The intercostal
nerves, arteries and
veins course
between the Internal
and Innermost
Intercostal muscles:
Order:
Superior to Inferior:
vein, artery, nerve =
VAN
The bundles are
found along the
inferior margins
of the ribs, often
forming a groove in
the rib.
SENSORY INNERVATION AND DAMAGE TO INTERCOSTAL NERVE
1. Dermatome (= area of skin innervated by
single spinal nerve) - in thorax dermatome map
looks like stripes.
OVERLAP OF
DERMATOMES
GREATEST ON
TRUNK
2. Overlap - there is some overlap between
adjacent dermatomes; overlap is greater on
trunk than on extremities
3. Clinical signs of damage to intercostal nerve
- damage (pressure) to a single spinal nerve or
single dorsal root can produce pain in the skin
of its dermatome.
(Note: because of overlap of dermatomes in
region of trunk, damage to a single intercostal
nerve often will not produce loss of sensation
(anesthesia); loss of sensation on skin of trunk
will occur if two or more adjacent nerves are
damaged.
ANATOMY OF THE LARYNX AND AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION
Obstruction of the
upper airway can
occur for a variety of
reasons,
including ingestion of
food, anaphylactic
shock and trauma.
This can often be life
threatening.
Cricothyrotomy and
tracheotomy establish
an opening of the
lower respiratory
system in the neck,
below the obstruction.
This requires
knowledge of the
anatomy of the larynx.
LARYNX: CARTILAGES
Larynx consists of cartilages
that are linked by membranes
and joints
Laryngeal
Prominence
Thyroid cartilage is shield
shaped and sits above Cricoid
Cartilage (ring shaped, cricoid
= signet ring)
Cricoid Cartilage is above
trachea
trachea
Laryngeal Prominence or
Notch = Adam’s Apple, more
prominent in males
LIGAMENTS OF LARYNX - link cartilages
and attach it to hyoid bone
Median
Thyrohyoid
Ligament
Median
Cricothyroid
Ligament
1. Thyrohyoid Membrane
links larynx to hyoid bone;
Median Thyrohyoid
Ligament - thickened midline
part
2. Cricothyroid Membrane
links thyroid to cricoid;
Median Cricothyroid
Ligament - thickened midline
part
3. Cricotracheal ligament
links Cricoid to first tracheal
cartilage
VI. LARYNX - ARTERIAL SUPPLY
Sup. Laryngeal A.
from Sup. Thyroid
artery
Inf. Laryngeal A.
from Inf. Thyroid
artery
OBSTRUCTION OF LARYNX: TRACHEOTOMY
open airway to lungs below obstructed larynx
Tracheotomy
- cut between
first and
second or
second and
third tracheal
cartilages
BLEEDING IS PROBLEM: MIDLINE THYROID VEINS
1) Sup. Thyroid vein
follows artery
2) Middle Thyroid
vein - to Int Jugular
3) Inf. Thyroid vein
Both sides join at
midline; drain to Left
Brachiocephalic Vein
CRICOTHYROTOMY - OPENING OF AIRWAY THROUGH
CRICOTHYROID MEMBRANE
Incision is made in
midline through
Cricothyroid
membrane at
Median Cricothyroid
Ligament
No major veins so
bleeding is minimal
Arteries and nerves
are unaffected as
they enter
larynx from lateral
and posterior sides.
ANATOMY OF VENOUS SYSTEM AND CATHETER
PLACEMENT
The placement of flexible tubes
into the circulatory system
(catheterization) is
now widely used in medicine in
treatment and diagnosis.
Central
venous
line
Central venous lines are
catheters placed into the venous
system close to the heart. They
can be used to rapidly and
reliably administer drugs to the
circulatory system and to the
heart itself. The can also provide
for sampling of blood when other
veins are small (infants)
Knowledge of anatomy of the
venous system is essential in
performing catheterization.
