Objectives: At the end of this lecture the students will be able to: Define of airway obstruction List causes of airway obstruction Identify the classification of airway obstruction Enumerate the early signs and symptoms of airway obstruction Define Heimlich maneuver List Indication of Heimlich maneuvers Complications of Heimlich maneuvers List Purpose of airway insertion Define anaphylaxis List Triggers of anaphylaxis List signs of anaphylaxis.
Introduction Definition of airway • Is the passage through which the air moves from the nose and mouth to the lungs..

Definition of airway obstruction: • Anything blocks the airway, then the person cannot get enough oxygen, and life is threatened. • Partial or complete blockage of the breathing passage to the lung and may be present in the conscious or the unconscious victim..

Causes may lead to airway obstruction: 1. Foreign bodies aspiration (food – coins –small toys) 2. Aspirate blood , vomitus, mucus 3. The tongue blocks the pharynx 4. A severe allergic reaction (Anaphylactic reaction) 5. Fire or burns from breathing in smoke 6. Traumatic injury and trauma to the airway (mouth injury). 7. Bronchoconstriction or bronchospasm ( severe asthma ). 8. Relaxation of the airway muscles due to unconsciousness.
Signs and symptoms of airway obstruction: The symptoms and signs of obstruction will depend on the cause and severity of the condition. Airway obstruction may be gradual or sudden in onset and may lead to complete obstruction within a few seconds..
The signs and symptoms of airway obstruction: Partial airway obstruction • Panic, Anxiety, Agitation • High pitched or wheezing sounds when breathing in (Gasping sounds) • Coughing • Clutching at the throat with one or both hands.(universal sign of chocking) Complete airway Obstruction • May be conscious or unconscious. • Unable to breathe • Unable to speak • Unable to cough • Face may appear bluish.
Chocking • A foreign object that is stuck in throat may block it and cause laryngeal spasm. • If blockage of airway is mild, the casualty is able to clear it by coughing. • If it is severe, the victim will be unable to speak, cough, or breathe and will eventually lose consciousness. • Clutching at the throat with one or both hands.(universal sign of chocking).
Chokinq The universal sign for choking.
First Aid for choking adults and children 1. Effective Cough (Partial Airway Obstruction). 2-Ineffective Cough (Complete Airway Obstruction): A. back blows B. (Heimlich maneuver) Chest Thrusts Abdominal Thrusts.
Heimlich maneuver Definition of Heimlich maneuver Is an emergency procedure that can save a life in seconds for removing a foreign object from airway that is preventing a person from breathing Indication of Heimlich maneuvers • Choking victim (very obese – pregnant – child ) with different in all age group • Drowning.
Heimlich maneuver Complications of Heimlich maneuvers • Incorrect application can damage chest, ribs, and internal organs • Patients may also vomit or nausea after being treated When to Stop First Aid for choking (Heimlich maneuvers and Back Blows ) If the object is comes out If the patient begins to breathe or cough. The thrust can cause internal injuries and should be seen by professionals..
Airway insertion Purpose of airway insertion: • Maintain patent airway for oxygenation of the body. • Prevent airway obstruction. Classification of airway: • Oropharyngeal airway(oral airway) • Nasopharyngeal airway(nasal airway).
OROPHARYNGEAL AIRWAY (OP AIRWAY).
NASOPHARYNGEAL AIRWAY (NP AIRWAY) • Nasal airway: Soft rubber or plastic tube inserted through nose into posterior pharynx..
Indications ❖ for airway control. ❖Unconscious/unresponsive Contraindication of oral airway : • Conscious or semiconscious patient. • Recent oral trauma. • Oral surgery. • Loose of the teeth. Contraindications for nasal airway 1-Head or facial trauma and fracture 2-Head or facial surgery..
Complications * Trauma *Vomiting * Aspiration * Hypoxia *If too long size may causing complete airway obstruction *If too short size May be easily displaced.
