7
Airway Obstruction
In the unresponsive patient, a partial airway obstruction may occur if: The tongue falls back
against the back of the throat due to a loss of muscle control
The epiglottis acts as a flap to obstruct the airway at the level of the larynx
8
Head Tilt-Chin Lift
Indications Unresponsive patient that does not have a
mechanism for cervical spine injury
Unresponsive patient that is unable to protect his/her own airway
Contraindications Awake patient
Known or suspected cervical spine injury
9
Head Tilt-Chin Lift
Advantages No equipment required,
simple, noninvasive
Disadvantages Head tilt hazardous to
patients with cervical spine injury
Does not protect the lower airway from aspiration

Head Tilt-Chin Lift
Procedure
11
Peds Pearl
Hyperextension of the patient’s neck or compression of the soft tissue under the patient’s chin can obstruct the airway.
12
Indications Unresponsive patient with possible cervical spine
injury
Unable to protect own airway
Contraindications Awake patient
Jaw Thrust without Head Tilt Maneuver

Advantages Noninvasive
Requires no special equipment
May be used with cervical collar in place
Disadvantages Difficult to maintain Requires second rescuer for bag-mask ventilation Does not protect against aspiration
Jaw Thrust without Head Tilt Maneuver
14
Jaw Thrust without Head Tilt Maneuver
Procedure
15
Peds Pearl
The combination of a head tilt, forward displacement of the jaw, and opening of the mouth is called the triple airway maneuver, or jaw thrust maneuver.
The manual maneuver described and recommended for opening the airway of a patient with suspected cervical spine injury is the jaw thrust without head tilt maneuver.

Rescue Breathing
17
Rescue Breathing
Assess level of responsiveness
Quickly determine if the child is breathing
If the child is unresponsive and is not breathing (or only gasping), check for a pulse
Begin chest compressions if: No pulse is present
You are unsure if there is a pulse
A pulse is present but the rate is slower than 60 beats/min and there are signs of poor perfusion despite support of oxygenation and ventilation
18
Rescue Breathing
If the child is responsive or unresponsive but has a pulse: Determine if breathing is adequate or inadequate
Look for rise and fall of the chest and abdomen
Listen and feel for exhaled air
Perform rescue breathing if a pulse of 60 beats per minute or more is present but breathing is inadequate

Rescue Breathing
Mouth-to-mouth ventilation Basic method for providing positive pressure
ventilation
Requires no special equipment to perform
Delivery of excellent tidal volumes possible
Rarely performed due to risk of communicable disease
20
Rescue Breathing
Mouth-to-barrier device ventilation
21
Rescue Breathing
Mouth-to-mask ventilation Use a mask equipped with a one-way valve or
similar device
Deliver two breaths (1 second per breath)
Volume of air delivered should be sufficient to cause gentle chest rise

Relief of Foreign Body Airway Obstruction
23
Relief of Foreign Body Airway Obstruction If the infant or child is conscious and
maintaining his or her own airway withoutrespiratory distress: Do not interfere
Allow the child to assume a position of comfort
Administer supplemental oxygen if indicated
Encourage child to cough
Provide emotional support
Removal of the foreign body by bronchoscopy or laryngoscopy should be attempted in a controlled environment

25
Peds Pearl
Back slaps are performed in an attempt to loosen the foreign body.
Chest thrusts increase intrathoracic pressure, which may cause expulsion of the foreign body.
26
Unconscious Choking Infant or Child
If the victim becomes unresponsive: Begin CPR starting with chest compressions
Do not take the time to check for a pulse.
27
Unconscious Choking Infant or Child
After 30 chest compressions, open the airway Look into the mouth and remove the foreign body,
if visualized
Attempt to give 2 breaths
Continue with cycles of chest compressions and ventilations until the object is expelled
Activate the emergency response system after 2 minutes

28
Unconscious Choking Infant or Child
If the obstruction is removed: Assess breathing
• If breathing is effective, place the child in the recovery position (if trauma is not suspected)
• If breathing is absent, give two breaths
29
Unconscious Choking Infant or Child
If the obstruction is removed:
Assess circulation
• Begin chest compressions if there is no pulse or other signs of circulation, or if the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute with signs of poor perfusion
• If breathing is absent but a pulse is present:
Deliver one breath every 3 to 5 seconds (12 to 20 breaths/min) and monitor the patient's pulse
Use higher rate of ventilations for the younger child
30
Unconscious Choking Infant or Child
If basic airway maneuvers are not successful in clearing an obstructed airway: Perform direct laryngoscopy
Remove the foreign body using pediatric Magill forceps if it is clearly visible
If unsuccessful, attempt tracheal intubation

37
Peds Pearl
Before suctioning, note the child’s heart rate, oxygen saturation, and color.
Monitor the child’s heart rate and clinical appearance during suctioning.
Bradycardia may result from stimulation of the posterior pharynx, larynx, or trachea.
If bradycardia occurs or the child’s clinical appearance deteriorates, interrupt suctioning and ventilate with supplemental oxygen until the child’s heart rate returns to normal.
38
Soft Suction Catheter
When preparing to suction the mouth, estimate the depth to suction by holding the catheter next to the child's face and measuring from the tip of the nose to the ear lobe

Positive-Pressure Ventilation (PPV)
PPV is used if the patient’s respiratory efforts are inadequate PPV = Forcing air into the lungs
Several methods may be used including: Mouth-to-mask ventilation Bag-mask ventilation
Effective PPV requires: Delivery of an adequate volume of air Appropriate rate of ventilation
Copyright © 2013 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company
9/11/2012

85
Peds Pearl
Positive-airway pressure therapy refers to the application of higher than ambient airway pressures during inspiration and/or exhalation for the purpose of improving pulmonary and respiratory function.
86
Peds Pearl
Positive pressure applied during inspiration is usually referred to as positive-pressure ventilation (PPV).
Positive pressure applied during exhalation is usually referred to as positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).
87
Cricoid Pressure
Compresses laryngopharynx
May help minimize gastric distention and aspiration during positive-pressure ventilation
Copyright © 2013 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company

88
Cricoid Pressure
In an infant or young child, cricoid pressure is applied using only one finger
89
Cricoid Pressure
Cricoid pressure:
May be considered to minimize gastric inflation in an unresponsive patient
May require a third rescuer if cricoid pressure cannot be applied by the rescuer who is securing the mask (of a bag-mask device) to the face
90
Cricoid Pressure
If excessive pressure is applied, cricoid pressure can cause complete airway obstruction.
If active regurgitation occurs while performing cricoid pressure, release cricoid pressure to avoid rupture of the stomach or esophagus.

91
Mouth-to-Mask Ventilation
A pocket mask: Should be made of transparent material to allow
evaluation of the patient’s lip color and detection of blood, vomitus, or secretions

92
Mouth-to-Mask Ventilation
Advantages
Aesthetically more acceptable than mouth-to-mouth ventilation
Easy to teach and learn
Physical barrier between the rescuer and the patient’s nose, mouth, and secretions
Reduces (but does not prevent) the risk of exposure to infectious disease
Use of a one-way valve at the ventilation port decreases exposure to patient’s exhaled air
93
Mouth-to-Mask Ventilation
Advantages (continued)
Can be used as a simple face mask by administering supplemental oxygen through the oxygen inlet on the mask (if so equipped)
Can deliver a greater tidal volume with mouth-to-mask ventilation than with a bag-mask device
Rescuer can feel the compliance of the patient’s lungs
