  • Cricothyrotomy
    NURSING Cricothyrotomy: Assisting with PRACTICE & SKILL What is Cricothyrotomy? › Cricothyrotomy (CcT; also called thyrocricotomy, inferior laryngotomy, and emergency airway puncture) is an emergency surgical procedure that is performed to secure a patient’s airway when other methods (e.g., nasotracheal or orotracheal intubation) have failed or are contraindicated. Typically, CcT is performed only when intubation, delivery of oxygen, and use of ventilation are not possible • What: CcT is a type of tracheotomy procedure used in emergency situations (e.g., when a patient is unable to breathe through the nose or mouth). The two basic types of CcT are needle CcT (nCcT) and surgical CcT (sCcT). Both types of CcTs result in low patient morbidity when performed by a trained clinician. Compared with the sCcT method, the nCcT method requires less time to set up and is associated with less bleeding and airway trauma • How: Ideally, a CcT is performed within 30 seconds to 2 minutes by making an incision or puncture through the skin and the cricothyroid membrane (i.e., the thin part of the larynx [commonly called the voice box])that is between the cricoid cartilage and the thyroid cartilage) into the trachea –An nCcT is a temporary emergency procedure that involves the use of a catheter-over-needle technique to create a small opening. Because it involves a relatively small opening, it is not suitable for use in extended ventilation and should be followed by the performance of a surgical tracheotomy when the patient is stabilized. nCcT is the only type of CcT that is recommended for children who are under 10 years of age - A formal tracheotomy is a more complex procedure in which a surgical incision is made in the lower part of the neck, through the thyroid gland, and into the trachea.

The intraoperative control provided by an endotracheal tube facilitates tracheostomy. The only reason not to intubate is the inability to do so. Contraindications to intubation include C-spine instability, midface fractures, laryngeal disruption, and obstruction of the laryngotracheal lumen. Supplements to intubation include the nasal airway trumpet, which provides dramatic relief of airway obstruction caused by soft tissue redundancy, collapse, or enlargement in the nasopharynx. The oral airway prevents the tongue from collapsing against the back wall of the oropharynx. Alert patients do not tolerate the oral airway, and patients obtunded enough to tolerate the oral airway without gagging should probably be intubated. Intubation can be performed orally or nasally, depending on local trauma and the logistics of planned operative intervention. Emergent Cricothyrotomy The advantage of performing emergent cricothyrotomy is that the cricothyroid membrane is superficial and readily accessible, with minimal dissection required. The disadvantage is that the cricothyroid membrane is small and adjacent structures (eg, conus elasticus, cricothyroid muscles, central cricothyroid arteries) are jeopardized; moreover, the cannula may not fit.

  • Tracheotomy in Ventilated Patients with COVID19
    Tracheotomy in ventilated patients with COVID-19 Guidelines from the COVID-19 Tracheotomy Task Force, a Working Group of the Airway Safety Committee of the University of Pennsylvania Health System Tiffany N.

Department of Anesthesiology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 4. Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Background The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic is characterized by rapid respiratory decompensation and subsequent need for endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in severe cases1,2. Approximately 3-17% of hospitalized patients require invasive mechanical ventilation3-6. Current recommendations advocate for early intubation, with many also advocating the avoidance of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation such as high-flow nasal cannula, BiPAP, and bag-masking as they increase the risk of transmission through generation of aerosols7-9. Purpose Here we seek to determine whether there is a subset of ventilated COVID-19 patients for which tracheotomy may be indicated, while considering patient prognosis and the risks of transmission. Recommendations may not be appropriate for every institution and may change as the current situation evolves. The goal of these guidelines is to highlight specific considerations for patients with COVID-19 on an individual and population level. Any airway procedure increases the risk of exposure and transmission from patient to provider.

  • Laryngectomy
    LARYNGECTOMY Definitlon Laryngectomy is the partial or complete surgical removal of the larynx, usually as a treatment for cancer of the larynx. Purpose Normally a laryngectomy is performed to remove tumors or cancerous tissue. In rare cases, it may be done when the larynx is badly damaged by gunshot, automobile injuries, or similar violent accidents. Laryngectomies can be total or partial. Total laryngectomies are done when cancer is advanced. The entire larynx is removed. Often if the cancer has spread, other surrounding structures in the neck, such as lymph nodes, are removed at the same time. Partial laryngectomies are done when cancer is limited to one spot. Only the area with the tumor Is removed. Laryngectomies may also be performed when other cancer treatment options, such as radiation or chemotherapy. fail. Precautions Laryngectomy is done only after cancer of the larynx has been diagnosed by a series of tests that allow the otolaryngologist (a specialist often called an ear, nose, and throat doctor) to look into the throat and take tissue samples (biopsies) to confirm and stage the cancer. People need to be in good general health to undergo a laryngectomy, and will have standard pre-operative blood work and tests to make sure they are able to safely withstand the operation. Description The larynx is located slightly below the point where the throat divides into the esophagus, which takes food to the stomach, and the trachea (windpipe), which takes air to the lungs. Because of its location, the larynx plays a critical role in normal breathing, swallowing, and speaking.

  • A Guide to Open Surgical Tracheostomy
    Review Article Page 1 of 7 A guide to open surgical tracheostomy Kenneth Muscat, Andrea Bille, Ricard Simo Head and Neck and Thoracic Surgery Units, Guy’s and St Thomas‘ NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK Correspondence to: Kenneth Muscat. Head and Neck and Thoracic Surgery Units, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Open tracheostomy procedure is one of the oldest described surgical interventions. It involves the creation of a stoma at the skin surface of the anterior neck leading to the trachea. There are multiple indications for such procedure. It can be used as a solution for upper airway obstruction of multiple aetiology, in cases of prolonged mechanical ventilation where there is the need to replace endotracheal intubation and for airway protection as part of another surgical procedure. In the preoperative phase, it is important to ensure adequate consent is present and that a preoperative check-list is followed, including reviewing investigations and familiarisation with available tracheostomy tubes. The operative technique should be performed in a logical systematic way. One should first ensure adequate surgical environment and proper patient positioning. Marking of anatomical landmarks is advised. Infiltration with local anaesthetic containing adrenaline solution is advocated. The surgical steps involved are followed stepwise. The skin incision is adequately placed, dissection through fascia and separation of strap muscles vertically with their lateral retraction performed. One should then identify trachea and deal with the thyroid isthmus. The correct site for the tracheotomy is identified and this is performed whilst liaising with the anaesthetist and scrub nurse.
