INSTRUMENTS VIVA Identify/Name the instrument Parts of the instrument Indications/Uses Method of usage/ Assemble/ Attach/ Procedure Contraindications Complications
AMBU BAG ARTIFICIAL MANUAL BREATHING UNIT = AMBU Consists of: Self-inflating Bag (250 -750ml) Face mask Face mask – cushioned (better as it provides air tight seal and less trauma)/ un-cushioned Circular (preterm) or Triangular(term) Should cover mouth, nose, chin but not the eyes Reservoir Bag Without reservoir bag – FiO2 – 40% With reservoir bag – FiO2 – 90-100% Oxygen inlet pipe (will be asked to identify and attach the parts) Indications : Intubation failure Apnoea/ Neonatal Asphyxia Neonatal resuscitation Contraindications : Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Facial trauma Complications : Barotrauma Gastric insuffulation
LARYNGOSCOPE Consists of: Handle Blade - curved Macintosh) /Straight(Miller) Straight blade is more useful in children as the larynx is more anteriorly placed Curved blade is useful in older children & adults as it helps to displace the tongue Blade sizes – 0 (preterm/LBW) to 4 (>10y) Will asked to assemble the instrument, holding position (HOLD INVERTED AND IN LEFT HAND), turn on the LED, and insertion method Indications – diagnostic usage as direct laryngoscopy imaging for: Foreign body detection Check for Cord palsy/ RLN/SLN palsy Therapeutic uses – Endotracheal Intubation Neonatal asphyxia/ Meconium aspiration/ RDS/ Resuscitation CDH/ TEF Administering GA Contraindications – Cervical spinal injury/ Severe Respiratory Obstruction Complications – Trauma Hyperextension of neck – can lead to vasovagal attack Displacement of ET tube
Procedure: Align the mouth, pharynx, trachea by extending the neck by placing a shoulder bag or towel/blanket Hold the laryngoscope in your left hand, upside down, blade pointing away from you Insert the blade along the midline of the base of the tongue Insert ET tube from the right corner of the mouth An assistant can put pressure on the cricoid to better help in visualisation Insert till the glottic marker on the tube is at the level of the vocal cords Secure the tube after confirming the position
PROCEDURAL VIDEOS
ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE Consists of: Proximal end (blue) – 15mm adapter that attaches to ventilator/ AMBU bag or kept open PVC tube with radio-opaque line with vocal cord mark such that the tip of the tube lies at the bifurcation of the trachea Pilot Ballon/ Valve – inflating the cuff Distal end – Murphy’s eye is a lateral opening, which prevents blockage of tube in case the bevelled tip gets blocked/impacted Cuffed tube is used in older children to keep the ET tube in place and prevent aspiration of secretions Uncuffed is used infants with narrow subglottis UNCUFFED ET TUBE CUFFED ET TUBE
Size of ET Tube - Formula to calculate the internal diameter of the ET tube (in mm) = (Age in years/4 )+ 4 Length = Diameter x 3 Premature – 2-2.5mm Term – 3-3.5mm 0-1 year – 4-4.5mm Indications : Mechanical ventilation in case of Epiglottitis, ATLB, Asthama Resuscitation IPPV Tracheal Suctioning (MAS) Complications : Trauma Pressure necrosis leading to TEF Pneumothorax Vasovagal stimulation on posterior pharyngeal wall stretching Rarely, allergic reaction
NASOGASTRIC TUBES INFANT FEEDING TUBE Thin, flimsy PVC Nasogastric feeding tube Radio-opaque line for Xray confirmation of insertional site Distally – lateral eye RYLE’S TUBE Larger, thicker, firmer PVC NG tube Indications Gastric content aspiration Decompression in Bowel obstruction Gastric lavage Feeding SIZES OF NG TUBES ARE MEASURED IN FRENCH UNITS (FG)
PERIPHERAL IV CANULA PARTS AND SITES OF CANNULATION
FOLEY’S CATHETER Indications: URINARY INDICATIONS - Input/Output charting in Shock/Renal Failure Urinary Incontinence or Retention Bladder injury Hematuria Supra-pubic Cystotomy Intravesical Chemotherapy NON-URINARY INDICATIONS – Hemostasis in UGI bleed EASI/ IOL Complications – Injury to urethra False catheterisation of vagina UTI if done in aspetic conditions Parts of a 2 Way Foley’s catheter
French units (FG) = 3 x (internal diameter of lumen in milimeters ) Note – black in paediatric age group = 10FG but black in adults = 26FG 6-12FG = pediatric 12-14FG = adult female >16FG = adult male
