  2. Basic airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_airway_management

    The jaw-thrust maneuver is an effective airway technique, particularly in patients in whom cervical spine injury is a concern. The jaw thrust is a technique used on patients with a suspected or possible cervical spinal cord injury and is used on a supine patient. The practitioner uses their index and middle fingers to physically pull the ...

  3. Pitot tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube

    The pitot tube can be inserted through a small hole in the duct with the pitot connected to a U-tube water gauge or some other differential pressure gauge for determining the flow velocity inside the ducted wind tunnel. One use of this technique is to determine the volume of air that is being delivered to a conditioned space.

    The patient is asked to put on soft nose clips to prevent air escape and a breathing sensor in their mouth forming an air tight seal. Guided by a technician, the patient is given step by step instructions to take an abrupt maximum effort inhale, followed by a maximum effort exhale lasting for a target of at least 6 seconds.

    The head-tilt/chin-lift is the most reliable method of opening the airway. The jaw thrust maneuver can also open up the airway with minimal spine manipulation. Prevention techniques focus on preventing airway obstruction by the tongue and reducing the likelihood of aspiration of stomach contents or blood.

  6. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

    A tracheal tube is a catheter that is inserted into the trachea for the primary purpose of establishing and maintaining a patent (open and unobstructed) airway. Tracheal tubes are frequently used for airway management in the settings of general anesthesia, critical care, mechanical ventilation, and emergency medicine. Many different types of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricothyrotomy

    A tracheostomy tube or endotracheal tube with a 6 or 7 mm internal diameter is then inserted, the cuff is inflated, and the tube is secured. The person performing the procedure might utilize a bougie device, a semi-rigid, straight piece of plastic with a 25-mm tip at a 30-degree angle, to provide rigidity to the tube and assist with guiding its ...

  8. Pitot pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_pressure

    The stationary fluid can be connected to a pressure-measuring device, or used in various devices. For subsonic flow, pitot pressure is equal to the stagnation pressure (or total pressure) of the flow, and hence the term pitot pressure is often used interchangeably with these other terms. For supersonic flow, however, pitot pressure is the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth-to-mouth_resuscitation

    This method of insufflation has been proved more effective than methods which involve mechanical manipulation of the patient's chest or arms, such as the Silvester method. [4] It is also known as expired air resuscitation (EAR), expired air ventilation (EAV), rescue breathing, or colloquially the kiss of life. It was introduced as a life-saving ...
