1. Basic Airway Management For BS Critical Care / Anesthesia / Nursing Students

2. Introduction Definition of airway management Importance in emergency and critical care Airway = life! ("A" in ABCs)

3. Airway Anatomy Overview Nasal cavity Oral cavity Pharynx : naso -, oro -, laryngo - Larynx Epiglottis , vocal cords Trachea

4. Airway Anatomy Overview

5. Signs of Airway Obstruction Stridor Snoring Gurgling Inability to speak Cyanosis Use of accessory muscles Decreased LOC

6. Causes of Airway Obstruction Tongue fall in unconscious patients Vomitus , blood, secretions Foreign body Facial trauma Laryngeal spasm/edema

7. Airway Obstruction

8. Basic Airway Maneuvers Head Tilt–Chin Lift (non-trauma) Jaw Thrust (trauma patients) Suctioning Recovery position

9. Basic Airway Maneuvers

10. Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) Ventilation

11. Airway Adjuncts: OPA and NPA Oropharyngeal Airway (OPA): unconscious only, measure mouth to mandible Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA): semi-conscious, measure nose to earlobe Avoid NPA in basal skull fracture

12. Oropharyngeal Airway (OPA)

13. Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA):

14. Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) Ventilation Positive pressure ventilation Good mask seal is critical Two-person technique preferred Risk: gastric insufflation Rescue Breath Each Breath After Every 6 Second

15. Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) Ventilation

16. When Basic Airway Fails Persistent obstruction SpO ₂ < 90% Escalate: Supraglottic (LMA) Endotracheal tube Surgical ( cricothyrotomy )

17. Summary Recognize airway obstruction early Use basic maneuvers first Apply adjuncts correctly BVM is essential Call for help if needed

18. Q&A / Practice Session Demonstrate OPA, NPA, BVM Practice on mannequins if available Clear doubts
