Chapter 2053 [2053] Which way to use

"Otherwise, insert a tube?" Li Qi'an's mind started, and he had an idea and suggested.

Did this guy ever stay in the obstetrics department, do you know it's time to intubate the child? Lin Hao hurriedly looked at Li and asked, "What tube is inserted?"

You need to know what tube to put in, so you can run to the ambulance and find the first aid equipment.

There are several options for intubation for children, just like intubation for adults. Oropharyngeal ventilation tube, or tracheal intubation through laryngoscope?

"This, this—" Li Qi'an felt his brain freeze again when he was anxious, and tried to dig out knowledge points in his memory, "That thing doesn't look like an oropharyngeal airway for adults, it has a mask, as if it was in the operating room. Have you seen it?"

"There is a mask and a catheter for tracheal intubation. Are you talking about a laryngeal mask?" After speaking, Lin Hao wanted to kick Li's ass. Remember what this thing is called.

"Yes, yes, it's a laryngeal mask." Li Qi'an nodded vigorously, "They said that the laryngeal mask does not need a laryngoscope, it can be inserted blindly, and we can try it."

Laryngeal mask refers to the airway of the laryngeal mask. Like the oropharyngeal airway and the endotracheal intubation, it belongs to the artificial airway established by the doctor. It is mainly used in emergency resuscitation and anesthesia in the operating room. Although the laryngeal mask is similar to an endotracheal tube with one side attached to it, it is not an endotracheal tube. The length of its endotracheal tube is short, and the insertion depth is not like the endotracheal tube going deep into the trachea. It only needs to enter the throat cavity to reach the upper end of the esophagus.

The exhaled gas from the laryngeal mask tracheal tube is aimed at the glottis, which can also function as an artificial airway. The other end of the laryngeal mask is connected to the mask, which can act as a sealing ring in the throat of the patient, sealing the airway around the airway to maintain a more effective ventilation effect, which is the unique design feature of the laryngeal mask itself.

Because the tube design of the laryngeal mask is biased towards the short enough oropharyngeal ventilation tube, blind intubation can be performed clinically, unlike the blind insertion of tracheal intubation, where the tube may not enter the trachea but go into the esophagus.

The newborn baby in front of me is too small, weighing only about six pounds at full term. It can be imagined that it is difficult to use the tracheal intubation through the laryngoscope. It is more difficult for children to take into account the endotracheal intubation during CPR. It sounds like you could try a laryngeal mask if you need to create an artificial airway.

Lin Hao asked: "Yingying, what do you think? If you think it's alright, we'll find a laryngeal mask right away. If the ambulance doesn't have it, we'll go to the hospital to get it."

Maybe Lin Hao just went to the ambulance to look for things, and knew that there might not be a laryngeal mask on the ambulance.

Xie Wanying didn't immediately respond to her classmates, her eyebrows were tight and her attention was continuing on a certain train of thought.

I know that once Xie loses a muscle, his thoughts will not come back. Lin Hao had no choice but to look at Song Xuelin reluctantly to see if the talented Northern Capital agreed with their suggestion.

Not without surprise, Song Xuelin's brown eyes seemed to want to be completely speechless to the two guys beside him.

Using your own brain to give advice to others is not a random idea. When you have trouble thinking about something, first think about whether what you are thinking is clinical common sense. If so, what the clinician will think of is that there is no need for a group of students to point it out. This is also why some clinicians and teachers keep silent when they hear the students' comments, because the teachers have already considered these comments from the students.
