,What medications are used to treat malignant hypothermia? - ✔✔Dantrolene, IV cold saline (not
Ringer's)
Nasopharyngeal airway - ✔✔When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is lubricated and passed through
the nose into nasal cavity. Sits in oropharynx behind tongue. Well tolerated and can be used on awake
pts.
Oropharyngeal airway - ✔✔Also placed to position tongue in more anterior position. Often interfere
with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) - ✔✔Device that sits over top of larynx. Can be placed blindly. Does not
protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal.
Endotracheal intubation - ✔✔End of tube passes through vocal cords and terminates half way between
vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen to both lungs after placement. May or May
not be cuffed.
Combitube - ✔✔Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated.
Pts predisposed to bronchospasm - ✔✔Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis
