Trigeminal
-V1 (Ophthalmic) = Nares and anterior 1/3 of septum
-V2 (Maxillary) = Turbinates and septum
-V3 (Mandibular) = Anterior 2/3 of tongue
Glossopharyngeal
-Posterior 1/3 of tongue
-Soft palate
-Oropharynx
Describe the sensory -Vallecula
innervation of the upper -Anterior side of epiglottis
airway
Superior laryngeal
-Internal branch = posterior side of epiglottis to the
level of the vocal cords
-External branch = 0 sensory function, motor
innervation to the cricothyroid muscle
Recurrent laryngeal
-All intrinsic muscles except the cricothyroid
Bilateral
How does recurrent
-Acute = Respiratory distress (unopposed action of
laryngeal nerve injury
cricothyroid muscles)
affect the integrity of the
airway?
-Chronic = No respiratory distress
How does superior -Bilateral = Hoarseness/No respiratory distress
laryngeal nerve injury
affect the integrity of the -Unilateral = No respiratory distress
airway?

-Glossopharyngeal nerve block: Palatoglossal arch at
the anterior tonsillar pillar
Name 3 airway blocks and
identify the key landmarks -Superior laryngeal nerve block: Greater cornu of
for each one hyoid
-Transtracheal nerve block: Cricothyroid membrane
What are the 3 paired and -Unpaired: Epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid
3 unpaired cartilages of
the larynx? -Paired: Corniculate, arytenoid, cuneiform
-100% FiO2
-Remove noxious stimulation
-Deepen anesthesia
What is the treatment for
-CPAP 15-20 cmH2O
laryngospasm?
-Open the airway (head extension, chin lift)
-Larson's maneuver
-Succinylcholine
What should you keep in -Infants and small children should receive atropine
mind about infants and 0.02 mg/kg (20 mcg/kg) with succinylcholine
small children receiving
succinylcholine? -If no IV access, submittal administration will produce
the fastest onset
-What site produced the
fastest onset (excluding
IV)?
