AIRWAYSURGICAL PREP
anticipate your difficult airway
identify CTM from cartilage borders
mark your site

AIRWAYintubation
TRUE protocol (2011) during emergent intubation
---
93% concordance : wave-capnography
median time: 9sec
---
Chou recommends real-time US to
confirm airway during CPR in trained hands
AIRWAYINTUBATION
indirect confirmation
real-time observation
use other modalities to corroborate
AIRWAYTUBE PLACEMENT
[probe] linear or curvilinear
[preset] superficial
[parts] left chest
[position] longitudinal
[picture] ribs, pleura
AIRWAYTUBE PLACEMENt
AIRWAYTube placement
diagnosis of non-ventilated lung
(RMS, atelectasis)

93% sensitivity
100% specificity

SUBCLAVIAN CENTRAL LINE
paraCENTESISprep
[probe] curvilinear (& linear)
[preset] abdominal (& superficial)
[parts] infraumbilical, lateral abdomen
[position] longitudinal, transverse
[picture] bladder, bowel, epigastric artery
Paracentesistechnique
empty the bladder
reclining or lateral decubitus
mark epigastrics
survey area around target entry
measure bowel to wall
PARACENTESISTECHNIQUE
do NOT move pt after position and US
sterile prep & drape
z-track needle entry
in-plane view
visualize needle, catheter
PARACENTESISpitfalls

THORACENTESISTECHNIQUE
***MA OJ, et al. Textbook of US**
Adjusted hospital los by adverse events
Adjusted hospital cost by adverse event
THORACENTESISpitfalls
US guided vs assisted
avoiding neurovascular bundle
anatomical changes w breathing/ moving
obese pts or subQ emphysema
reexpansion edema
