摘要

Airway management (AM) can be life-saving in certain emergency situations. Physician assistants may encounter patients requiring AM in virtually any clinical setting. Endotracheal intubation (EI) is indicated in several clinical situations including respiratory failure, cardiorespiratory arrest, upper airway obstruction, in patients at risk for aspiration, and for certain elective procedures. It is mandatory that a clinician responsible for airway management be familiar with airway anatomy and how it pertains to intubation. Ideally, prior to attempting EI, all necessary equipment, medications, emergency supplies, and support staff should be in place. Patients should be monitored before, during and after intubation. Proper technique of EI is reviewed, as well as assessment of proper endotracheal tube placement. INTRODUCTION Physician assistants (PAs) can encounter patients that require airway management (AM) in virtually any clinical setting. All PAs should therefore be familiar with the basics of these potentially life-saving procedures. This article is meant to serve as a general introduction to one of the techniques of AM, endotracheal intubation (EI) of the adult patient.PAs who work in environments where patients are likely to need AM should obtain training and experience in the proper technique of EI, medications used for the procedure, as well as alternative methods of AM when EI is unsuccessful (see Table 1). A subsequent article in this series will review alternative techniques in AM, including those useful for the less experienced clinician in emergency situations.TABLE 1: Alternative techniques to establish an airway Oral Airway Nasal Airway Mask Ventilation Transtracheal Jet Ventilation Retrograde Intubation Laryngeal Mask Airway Light Wand Blind Nasal Intubation Combitube Emergency Cricothyrotomy Devices INDICATIONS for ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATIONEndotracheal intubation is indicated in several clinical situations including acute hypoxemic or hypercapnic respiratory failure, or impending respiratory failure.1 2 3 4 This procedure is also used to protect the airway in conditions of upper airway obstruction, either mechanical or from airway pathology.1-4 Patients at risk for aspiration, most commonly from central nervous system derangements may benefit from elective intubation.2-5In addition, elective EI is performed for many operative procedures; at times to facilitate certain diagnostic procedures (ex. computed tomographic scan); and to aid in respiratory hygiene.1-4 Another potential indication for EI includes the need to hyperventilate by mechanical ventilation, attempting to reduce intracranial pressure in patients with acute intracranial hypertension.6 AIRWAY ANATOMYEndotracheal intubation can be performed either orally or nasally, although oral intubation is the more commonly used technique.5The nasopharynx and oropharynx lead to the laryngopharynx (hypopharynx). At the base of the tongue, the epiglottis separates the larynx from the laryngopharynx. The epiglottis serves as a protective mechanism for preventing aspiration by covering the opening of the larynx (i.e. the glottis) during swallowing.The larynx, composed of cartilages, connecting ligaments and muscles, establishes the boundary of the upper and lower airway. The glottis divides the larynx into a superior compartment (from the laryngeal outlet to the vocal cords) and an inferior compartment (from the vocal cords to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage), which leads to the trachea. In the adult, the airway is narrowest at the vocal cords and in small children at the cricoid cartilage ring.The trachea begins at the level of the cricoid cartilage and extends to the carina. The carina (at the level of the angle of Louis, about T5)7is the point of airway bifurcation, leading to the left and right main stem bronchi. The right main stem bronchus is less angulated from the trachea than is the left main stem bronchus (25 versus 45 degrees)7and therefore is mo
