AIRWAYSURGICAL PREP
[probe] linear
[preset] superficial
[parts] anterior neck
[position] mid-sagittal
[picture] cricoid & thyroid cartilage
AIRWAYSURGICAL PREP
anticipate your difficult airway
identify CTM from cartilage borders
mark your site
airwaYintubation
[probe] linear
[preset] superficial
[parts] suprasternal
[position] transverse
[picture] tracheal ring, esophagus
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
---
no previous pulm disease

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
distended bowel, bladder, cysts (renal, ovarian)

THORACENTESISprep
[probe] curvilinear
[preset] lung or abdominal
[parts] dorsal, subscapular
[position] longitudinal
[picture] ribs, diaphragm, lung tissue

THORACENTESISTECHNIQUE
Ma OJ, Mateer JR, Blaivas M. Emergency Ultrasound 2nd ed. 2008.
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

SUBCLAVIAN CENTRAL LINE
Subclavian linesprep
[probe] linear
[preset] vascular
[parts] clavicle, 1st rib
[position] infraclavicular, supraclavicular

SUBCLAVIAN LINESTECHNIQUE
infraclaviculartechnique
laterally @ shoulder in sagittal
ID axillary artery, axillary vein in short
INFRACLAVICULARTECHNIQUE
infraclavicularTECHNIQUE
track SCV rotate to long view (30deg) @ 1st rib
---| |--- to confirm venous flow (valsalva)
visualize needle, wire, catheter
check IJ for misplacement
check for PTX

Success rates US vs Landmark
SupraCLAVICULARtechnique
IJ --> sternoclavicular junction
ID brachiocephalic vein (BCV)
slide slightly laterally
ID junction of SCV to BCV
aim anteriorly (@ sternum)
SupraclavicularTECHNIQUE
SUBCLAVIAN LINESpitfalls
THINK coagulopathies
contralateral PTX
mistaking SCA for SCV
