Preparation:
Ensure all necessary equipment is ready, including the cuffed endotracheal tube, laryngoscope, suction device, syringe for cuff inflation, and securing materials.
Position the patient appropriately on a firm surface with the head extended and the neck slightly hyperextended.
Assessment and Indications:
Evaluate the need for intubation based on the patient's clinical condition, such as respiratory failure, airway protection, or impending respiratory arrest.
Preoxygenation:
Administer oxygen to the patient to maximize oxygen reserves before the procedure.
Anesthesia and Paralysis:
Provide sedation and neuromuscular blockade to induce unconsciousness and muscle relaxation.
Laryngoscopy:
Use the laryngoscope to visualize the vocal cords and the glottis.
Insert the laryngoscope into the patient's mouth and gently lift to expose the vocal cords.
Insertion of the Tube:
Hold the cuffed endotracheal tube in your dominant hand and gently insert it through the vocal cords into the trachea.
Advance the tube until the cuff is positioned just above the carina, which is the division between the two mainstem bronchi.
Cuff Inflation:
Once the tube is in the correct position, inflate the cuff using the syringe with air to create a seal within the trachea.
Confirmation:
Confirm proper tube placement by auscultating bilateral breath sounds, observing chest rise and fall, and checking for end-tidal CO2 waveform on a capnograph.
Securing the Tube:
Secure the tube at the appropriate depth and in a comfortable position using tape or a tube holder to prevent accidental displacement.
Verification:
After securing the tube, confirm its placement with a chest X-ray to assess positioning and rule out complications like pneumothorax.
Post-Intubation Care:
Continuously monitor the patient's vital signs, oxygen saturation, and ventilator settings.
Provide appropriate sedation, analgesia, and ventilation based on the patient's condition.
