Chapter 11d- Airway Management

Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Twelfth Edition
Across
A liquid protein substance that coats the alveoli in the lungs, decreases alveolar surface tension, and keeps the alveoli expanded; a low level in a premature infant contributes to respiratory distress syndrome.
Thin membrane that covers the lungs.
A term used to describe the degree of distress in a patient with a mild airway obstruction. With poor air exchange, the patient often has a weak, ineffective cough, increased difficulty breathing, or possible cyanosis and may produce a high-pitched noise during inhalation (stridor).
Movements in which the skin pulls in around the ribs during inspiration.
An accumulation of air or gas in the pleural cavity.
An accumulation of air or gas in the pleural cavity that progressively increases pressure in the chest and that interferes with cardiac function, with potentially fatal results.
A high-pitched, whistling breath that is most prominent on expiration, and which suggests an obstruction or narrowing of the lower airways; occurs in asthma and bronchiolitis.
The process of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
A hollow, cylindrical device used to remove fluid from the patient's airway.
The exchange of air between the lungs and the environment; occurs spontaneously by the patient or with assistance from another person, such as an EMT.
An opening through the skin into an organ or other structure.
Down
Large, semi-rigid suction tips recommended for suctioning the pharynx.
A harsh, high-pitched respiratory sound, generally heard during inspiration, that is caused by partial blockage or narrowing of the upper airway; may be audible without a stethoscope.
The air that remains in the lungs after maximal expiration.
A combination mask and reservoir bag system that is the preferred way to give oxygen in the prehospital setting; delivers up to 90% inspired oxygen and prevents inhaling the exhaled gases (carbon dioxide).
The process of delivering oxygen to the blood by diffusion from the alveoli following inhalation into the lungs.
The process of providing oxygen, often in combination with ventilation, prior to intubation in order to raise the oxygen levels of bloody tissues; a critical step in advanced airway management. this extends the time during which an advanced airway can be placed in an apneic patient, because the move oxygen that is available in the alveoli, the longer the patient can maintain adequate gas exchange in the lungs during the procedure.
A side-lying position used to maintain a clear airway in unconscious patients without injuries who are breathing adequately.
Space within the chest that contains the heart, major blood vessels, vagus nerve, trachea, major bronchi, and esophagus; located between the two lungs.
