Introduction:
Hello, and welcome to this video on Human Airway Evaluation and Assessment before airway management or endotracheal intubation.
My name is [Name], and I am a [Job Title].
Today, I will be walking you through the steps involved in this process.
Patient Information:
Before we begin, it’s important to gather some information about the patient.
This includes their name and date of birth, any allergies they have, and a brief description of their current medical condition.
This information helps ensure that the proper airway management or endotracheal intubation procedure is performed.
Airway Assessment:
Human Airway Evaluation and Assessment typically involves the following tests and scores:
Mallampati Score: This is a commonly used tool to assess the size and anatomy of the patient’s oral and pharyngeal structures. It ranges from 1 to 4, with a score of 1 indicating the best airway visualization and a score of 4 indicating the worst.
Thyromental distance: This test measures the distance between the mentum (chin) and the thyroid notch (Adam’s apple). A shorter distance can indicate a difficult airway.
Head and Neck mobility assessment: This test assesses the patient’s ability to extend their neck, which can impact the ease of airway management.
Cervical spine mobility assessment: This test assesses the patient’s ability to move their cervical spine, which can impact the ease of airway management and the risk of injury during intubation.
Bite test: This test assesses the patient’s ability to bite down on a hard object, which can indicate the presence of dentition or other factors that can impact airway management.
Gag reflex assessment: This test assesses the patient’s gag reflex, which can impact the ease of airway management and intubation.
These tests and scores provide important information that can impact the choice of airway management technique and the likelihood of success. However, it’s important to keep in mind that each patient is unique, and a combination of factors can impact airway management and intubation success Conclusion:
Based on the evaluation and assessment, the patient’s airway appears to be [clear/partially obstructed/completely obstructed].
I will now proceed with [airway management procedure/endotracheal intubation].
I hope this video has been informative and helpful in understanding the steps involved in a Human Airway Evaluation and Assessment before airway management or endotracheal intubation.
