Airway, Beating…and Circulation?
History of Cardiac Arrest Airway Management • Egyptians & Romans – Tracheotomies? • William Macewaen (Scotland, 1880) – ETI for obstruction • Joseph O’Dwyer (USA) – ETI for obstruction – Blind passage
History of Cardiac Arrest Airway Management • Benjamin Guy Babbington – Glottiscope • Philipp von Bozinni & Garignard de la Tour – “Mouth Mirrors” • Manual Garcia (1854) – Vocal teacher used sunlight and mirrors – First direct visualization of human glottic opening
History of Cardiac Arrest Airway Management • Chevalier Jackson (1913) – “Father of endoscopy” – Introduced light source on distal end of blade • Henry H. Janeway (1913) – Anesthesiologist – Introduced battery operated laryngoscope • Sir Robert Reynolds Macintosh (1943)
Direct Laryngoscopy • Conventional laryngoscope – Technique utilized to facilitate direct visualization of the glottic opening when performing endotracheal intubation.
History of Cardiac Arrest Airway Management • Pioneers – Dr. Peter Safar – Dr. James Elam • Manual maneuvers • Mouth-to-mouth • A, B, C’s of Resuscitation • The Breath of Life
The Late Dr. John Hinds • Modern day resuscitation guidelines. – ABC’s as Safar wrote. – “Gold Standards” – Poor outcomes in OHCA (out of hospital cardiac arrest). – Challenges
Challenges • Delivery of Oxygen (DO 2) in Cardiac Arrest – Methods of ventilation • Basic v. Advanced strategies – Manual maneuvers – Devices and adjuncts – Early v. Delayed ETI • Control • Protection • Carbon dioxide – Less invasive techniques – Experienced clinician
Challenges • • • Endotracheal Intubation Success rates of 75 -90% TTI (time-to-intubation) Interruptions in CPR Difficult intubations Unrecognized esophageal or dislodged ETT
2015 Guidelines for CPR & ECC • BVM or ETI? • SGD or ETI? • What does the science say? – “Low quality evidence” – “The type of airway used may depend on the skills and training of the healthcare provider. ”
So…Why Are We Here?
John C. Sakles, M. D. • University Arizona Medical Center Emergency Department – 61 beds – 70, 000 ED visits • July 2007 -June 2013 • Approximately 3000 intubations – Half DL & half VL – 100% capture

First Pass Success
The Sakles Conversation
Evidence • • Assessed GVL, Pentax AWS, and DL 15 -30° lateral left tilt with LUCAS TTI and success rate TTV and TTI
Evidence
Evidence • Assessed GVL in simulated CPR • GVL v. DL with and without compressions • “Extremely high success rates”
Evidence • EMJ-Tandon et al (October 2014) – 20 EM physicians – DL, GVL, and GVL-Bougie – TTI with compressions – Results • DL (27 s) • GVL (20 s) • GVL-B (60. 1)
Evidence • Journal of Emergency Medicine-Sakles et al (December 2014) – 460 unsuccessful first attempt adult OTI’s (2009 -2014) – CMAC v. DL for rescue attempt after failed – Results • CMAC: 116/141 (82. 3%) • DL: 58/94 (61. 7%)
Evidence • Resuscitation- Park et al (December 2014) – 305 OHCA (May 2011 -April 2013) • Compared first pass success • 83 intubated by novice emergency physicians in the field – Results • VL (n=49) 91. 8% successful – 0 interruptions in compressions – 0 esophageal intubations • DL (n=34) 55. 9% successful – Median of CCI was 7 seconds – 1 esophageal intubation
Video (Indirect) Laryngoscopy • Use of a micro-video camera along a laryngoscope blade transmitting image to an external monitor. • Facilitates indirect visualization of the glottic opening when performing endotracheal intubation.
Tips for Success • • • Keep it similar! Look for blade! Go midline. Keep your distance. Compress tongue directly into submandibular space. • Go 3: 00 -12: 00 (back in time that is). • Alternate practice.
The Devices • Outline – Video Laryngoscopy • • Glidescope C-MAC Mc. Grath King Vision – Optical Laryngoscopy • Air. Traq
Optical Laryngoscopy § Placed midline § Lift in the vertical plane § Align vocal cords center § Slowly advance ETT through cords § Disengage ETT and remove device
Wrap-Up • We need to minimize hands off time • VL can minimize interruptions in chest compressions and increases compression fraction • VL improves First Pass Success! • “Practice doesn’t make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect”
