Trang 12As specialty, critical care medicine is now entering in its adulthood, there is a
lot of scope for improvement in teaching and training in this field Critical care
medicine is a unique specialty, where the sickest patients are being managed
with a wide spectrum of procedures In fact, there is need of hour to have a book
with a compilation of all common procedures being done in critically ill patients
for education and training purpose, despite easily available information on
individual topic in current era
Manual of ICU Procedures has 61 chapters, covering almost all relevant
procedures, including simple as well as more complex, done in critically and
acutely ill patients
The book has five different sections, such as airway and respiratory procedures, vascular and cardiac procedures, neurological procedures, gastrointestinal/
abdominal/genitourinary related procedures; while section miscellaneous covers
a few other procedures This book will be helpful to various clinicians across
specialty including critical care physicians, emergency physicians, anesthetists,
pulmonologists, pediatricians, general physicians and general surgeons
The splendid chapters are written by experts with their vast experience and knowledge from various specialties, keeping in mind that it is also intended for the
trainee students to help them to understand the procedures Most of the chapters
outline somewhat similar with headings such as introduction, indication,
contra-indication, applied anatomy, technique and equipment, preparation, steps of
procedure, the post-procedure care, and complication/problem associated with
the procedure
All the procedures described in the book may not be necessarily done by critical care physicians depend upon the local ICU policy, but understanding
these procedures will lead towards the optimal management of critically ill
patients As ever-evolving fast information and technology, changes may happen
in procedure’s technique and equipment, author advice to keep updated on
these issues in the future Readers should also be aware that complications and
problems for each procedure are highlighted briefly in the chapter, which may
not cover exhaustive list This is highly recommended by the author that being
nature of patients, procedures are supposed to learn under supervision as per
local policy, to achieve better skills while taking utmost care for safety to the
Trang 13I am indebted to all contributors, from various institutes and specialties, without their contribution, the book was not possible They kept patience with
me while making changes in the chapter for improvement and provided good

SECTION 1
Trang 23The adequate oxygenation is paramount in a critically ill patient In such patients,
ventilatory assistance with patent airway may be required for optimizing the
oxygenation.1 Effective bag and mask ventilation is an important skill required
in such cases It may not only provide optimal ventilation till the establishment
of definite airway but also prove to be life-saving where endotracheal intubation
has failed and surgical or other definitive airway management technique has
been explored.2-4 Hence, positive-pressure ventilation using bag-mask-valve
device provides positive-pressure ventilation and thus may be life-saving
Though bag and mask ventilation appears to be simplest as well as single most
important emergency airway management technique but it has been reported
that in 2–5% of patients, bag and mask ventilation is difficult even by experienced
anesthesiologists.5,6 Hence, a good knowledge and understanding of the airway
anatomy, airway equipment, skill and regular practice is paramount for effective
and successful bag and mask ventilation The learning curve for bag and mask
ventilation has been studied in interns and the authors reported a failure rate of
less than 20% after 25 attempts of bag and mask ventilation.7 This emphasizes the
need for training and regular practice to maintain such an important skill of bag
and mask ventilation using bag-mask-valve device
INDICATION
The bag and mask ventilation may be life-saving in critically ill patients.8 Broadly,
the bag and mask ventilation is required for any patient requiring ventilatory
assistance to maintain oxygenation till a definitive airway with mechanical
ventilation using ventilator is initiated The indications include:8,9
– Neuromuscular diseases
• Failure of oxygenation:
– Increased metabolic demand, sepsis– Lung diseases with desaturation
Trang 244 Section 1: Airway and Respiratory Procedures
CONTRAINDICATION
Bag-mask ventilation is contraindicated only in a selected group of patients like
complete upper airway obstruction or severe facial trauma (due to inadequate
mask seal and risk of aspiration due to bleeding) Before initiating bag and
mask ventilation, any visible foreign body in oral cavity should be removed The
technique of bag-mask ventilation requires caution in patients with suspected
cervical spine instability and should be avoided in patients with full stomach as
well as those planned for rapid sequence intubation (RSI).10-12
APPLIED ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
The upper airway comprises of nose oral cavity and pharynx.2,5,8,9 The pharynx
may be further divided into nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx Any
insult of these anatomical structures may compromise the passage of airway
to glottis and then to lungs The provision of artificial airway may bypass these
structures to maintain passage of the air/oxygen to lungs The lower airway is
made up of trachea, bronchus and its divisions till alveoli It provides smooth
passage of air from upper airway till alveolar capillary membrane for its diffusion
into the blood and then to body tissues Any abnormality in these structures may
again compromise the oxygenation of the tissues and cells Not only these internal
complex but also the supportive structures like ribcage (ribs and muscles) and
diaphragm may also hamper the transfer of oxygen from outside into the blood
There are anatomical differences in the airway of children and adults and are important for airway management.13 The occiput of children is large and when
laid supine may lead to neck flexion leading to airway obstruction The tongue
is relatively larger with respect to oral cavity and can cause airway obstruction
Even a trivial trauma in the airway or tongue can lead to edema which may cause
airway obstruction The epiglottis is large and floppy; larynx is more anterior
and more angulated All these airway differences in children make their airway
more prone for obstruction and lead to difficult airway management including
bag and mask ventilation Children also have high respiratory rate and oxygen
metabolism They have lesser functional residual capacity and increased chest
wall compliance leading to their faster desaturation as compared to adults in
cases of any airway compromise
Ventilation is the movement of air in and out of the lungs Inspiration is an active process and requires the work of muscles including intercostal muscles
and diaphragm But in cases of labored breathing, certain accessory muscles are
also activated to maintain optimal ventilation On the other hand, exhalation is
passive process and may sometimes be an issue in conditions like obstructive
lung disease
The hypoxemia/hypoxia may happen due to inadequate alveolar oxygenation, alveolocapillary diffusion abnormalities, increased dead space, ventilation-
perfusion mismatch, or inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to cells In
presence of such problems, supplementing with high concentration of oxygen
may temporarily prevent hypoxia at tissue levels till the definitive measures
are taken care of During airway management, oxygen reserves may further be
increased with preoxygenation The preoxygenation can be accomplished by
providing 100% oxygen with tight-fitted mask for approximately three minutes
Trang 25and feel” Patient should be exposed and looked for chest rise (both sides), or any
abnormal pattern in breathing movement The rate, rhythm, quality and depth of
breathing movements should be assessed Listen for any abnormal breath sound
like gurgling, gasping, crowing, wheezing, snoring and stridor Also, auscultation
of chest needs to be done for checking the air entry on both sides and for assessing
any abnormal breath sound like rhonchi or crepts Feel for the air movements at
the external nares These assessments should be done in addition to other signs
of inadequate oxygenation like presence of cyanosis The sign of inadequate
is appropriate technique using airway adjuncts, if required A good seal is required
along with maintenance of a patent airway Mask holding can be done by either
one-hand technique or two-hand technique (see below) Certain adjuncts like
oral or nasal airway may aid in maintaining a patent airway This is achieved by
providing a support to oral structures, especially tongue and thus making the
hypopharynx patent for airflow
Cricoid Pressure (Sellick’s Maneuver)
Sellick’s maneuver provides external force to the anterior cricoid ring This
compresses the esophagus against the vertebra and prevents air entry into the
stomach and also prevents regurgitate entering the airway during
positive-pressure ventilation.16,17 The cricoid ring can be found by palpating the Adam’s
Trang 266 Section 1: Airway and Respiratory Procedures
apple and then identifying the ring just inferior to it During this maneuver,
one person will provide artificial ventilation and the second person will place
his two fingers on this ring and firmly press it backward while maintaining the
patient’s ventilation.18,19 However, there are also conflicting reports and some
controversies on whether cricoid pressure is really effective Nevertheless, cricoid
pressure is currently recommended and should be performed when possible
during resuscitation and all RSIs.20,21 The excessive force must not be applied so as
to avoid tracheal compression leading to airway obstruction It should be noted
that this technique will cause discomfort in the conscious patient and should be
limited to those patients who are unconscious This maneuver should be avoided
if the patient is vomiting or begins to vomit
Bag and Mask Ventilation in Children
The pediatric airway is always challenging due to some anatomical differences as
compared to adult airway This imposes some difficulty in airway management
with regards to effective ventilation.22,23 Children have large occiputs which may
make the neck flexed and thus may obstruct the airway Also, too much extension
may cause airway obstruction To overcome such issues, a roll may be inserted
under the shoulder on the back Children have a relatively large tongue that may
fall back into the oropharynx, which can cause airway obstruction Otherwise
innocuous materials like edema, secretions, vomitus or foreign body may obstruct
the relatively narrow airway of the children Any nasal secretions or obstructions
may functionally obstruct the airway as infants are obligate nasal breathers
Usually, airway suctioning is not required for newborns as suctioning may itself delay and hamper adequate oxygenation.24 This may also cause trauma
leading to airway edema in a narrow airway and thus may cause further airway
obstruction But presence of blood clots, vernix, or particulate meconium needs
to be cautiously removed without causing undue trauma
The availability of various sizes of mask makes selection of appropriate mask easier Some of us prefer circular mask with cushioned rim, as it appears to have
better seal with lesser trauma especially to eyes and nose The adequacy of
tidal volume needs to be judged with visible chest rise As per American Heart
Association (AHA) guideline (2010) ventilation rate should be 10–12 per minute
irrespective of children age (i.e same for both children and infant).25
Equipment
The following equipment are required for initiating the bag and mask ventilation
(Fig 1):
• Bag-valve-mask with reservoir: These are available in various sizes, types and
with additional features The sizes available include newborn, infant, child and adult (Fig 2) Bag-valve-mask (BVM) comprises of self-inflating bag, a non-rebreathing unidirectional valve, oxygen reservoir, ports for attachment
of oxygen and a mask (Fig 3) The unidirectional valve functions in both spontaneous and mechanical positive-pressure ventilation The assembly
is connected to an oxygen source which delivers oxygen with a minimum flow rate of 12–15 L/min This technique allows delivery of 90% oxygen.15Otherwise, only room air with 21% oxygen is entrained and thus reduces the delivered fraction of oxygen Facemasks are available in various designs,
Trang 27Fig 1 Equipment required for initiating the bag and mask ventilation
Fig 2 Different sizes of the bag and mask (self-inflating bag)
sizes and construction materials The masks are available in both opaque and transparent material but transparent one has a benefit of observing the patient mouth for any secretions or vomitus The face mask size should be appropriately chosen based on patient size, i.e the mask is chosen so as
to cover the patient’s face, i.e mouth and nose with upper margin over the bridge of nose and lower margin over the chin The BVM has standard 15/22 respiratory fitting to ensure a proper fit with other respiratory equipment like face masks and endotracheal tubes The working of BVM includes delivery
of oxygen on squeezing the bag through the mask At this point, the inlet is closed by diaphragm valve When the squeeze of the bag is released, a passive expiration by the patient will occur While the patient exhales, oxygen enters the reservoir to be delivered to the patient when next time the bag is squeezed
Trang 288 Section 1: Airway and Respiratory Procedures
In certain bag-mask-valve assemblies, especially in assemblies for infants, there is provision of an adjustable positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) valve for better positive-pressure ventilation
of mandible (Figs 4 and 5) The OPA may be inserted by two techniques In one technique, OPA is inserted into the oral cavity with its concavity facing toward head and rotating it by 180 degrees when resistance to its further insertion
is met and then pushing it further The other technique requires tongue depressor Here, the tongue is depressed and OPA inserted directly into the oral cavity The size of NPA is measured from tip of the nose to the tragus of the ear (Figs 6 and 7) The NPA is lubricated and inserted into the more patent nares while facing posteriorly keeping it perpendicular to the face
PREPARATION
The patient may require bag and mask ventilation to assist the ventilation
in cases where equipment for definitive airway is being arranged or in cases
where the airway is difficult and conventional technique of securing the airway
has failed To buy time, till the expertise and special equipment like fiberoptic
bronchoscopy is being arranged, bag and mask ventilation may be used as rescue
technique to maintain oxygenation The assessment mandating the different
Fig 3 Parts of the self-inflating bag
Trang 29modality of airway assistance has been discussed above Appropriately done
bag and mask ventilation is usually effective Certain anatomical features give
an indication of difficult bag and mask ventilation These predictors include
presence of beard, edentulous patient, a body mass index greater than 26 kg/m2,
age older than 55 years, and a history of snoring.14 Other predictors of difficult
mask ventilation include oropharyngeal malproportion (Mallampati class III
or IV) and limited jaw protrusion.14

Trang 31• Open the airway: The opening of the airway may require head-tilt chin-lift
maneuver or the jaw thrust The head-tilt needs to be avoided in patients of cervical spine injuries
• Suction: The oral cavity should be looked for any visible foreign body If visible,
remove the foreign body and perform suctioning for secretions or blood
• Airway adjunct: In cases of airway obstruction due to tongue fall, placement
of an airway adjunct like OPA or NPA is required Use OPA in patients who are unresponsive and do not have a gag reflex In case of conscious patient with airway obstruction due to tongue fall, placement of an NPA is desirable but should be avoided in events of head injury
Fig 8 Universal precautions material
Trang 3212 Section 1: Airway and Respiratory Procedures
The excessive pressure should be avoided as downward pressure may lead
to tongue fall and pressure at submandibular area may also compromise the airway by pushing the tongue against the palate After optimal mask holding, bag is squeezed with the other hand to observe visible chest rise In case of difficult ventilation, a two-hand technique can be used (Figs 11 and 12).27
In this technique, one person holds the mask with both the hands and the other person squeezes the bag for ventilation The mask holding includes encirclement using thumb and index finger of the both the hands around the mask (Fig 10) The rest of the three fingers support the mandible and provide jaw thrust while maintaining a good tight seal The other technique
of the mask holding is using the thenar eminences of both the hands over
Fig 9 Head and neck position in a volunteer (pillow below head and head tilt)
Fig 10 Technique of mask holding (“EC” technique)
Trang 33Fig 12 Two-hand technique of mask holding (“thumb holding” method)
the mask and rest of the fingers lift up the mandible (Fig 12) Here as well, the other person squeezes the bag to provide mechanical ventilation
• Ventilation:
– Ensure the bag is attached to oxygen source with oxygen turned on to
a flow of 15 L/min Allow the reservoir to fill with oxygen prior to the first ventilation After achieving adequate mask seal, self-inflating bag
is squeezed so as to have visible chest rise Also, look for any gastric distension In that case, patient needs to be repositioned, so that air does not go to stomach During resuscitation, squeeze it over 1 second and wait for expiration to happen which is a passive procedure For optimal and effective ventilation, good mask seal and adequate bag squeezing
Fig 11 Two-hand technique of mask holding (“encircling” method)
Trang 3414 Section 1: Airway and Respiratory Procedures
is required However, over and aggressive bag-mask ventilation causes stomach inflation and increases the risk of aspiration The goal is to achieve adequate gas exchange while keeping the peak airway pressures low
Squeezing the bag forcefully and abruptly creates a high-peak airway pressure and is more likely to inflate the stomach
– For effective ventilation, tidal volume required is 6–7 mL/kg per breath.28 The respiratory rate is kept at 10–12 breaths/min in patients with function-ing heart On the other hand, for patients with cardiopulmonary arrest, respiratory rate required is 8–10 breaths per minute In case of respiratory distress, BVM may be used to assist the patient respiratory efforts If PEEP
is required (adults only) connect the PEEP valve firmly to the expiratory flow diverter
• Assessment of adequacy of ventilation: Effective ventilation and oxygenation
should be judged by chest rise, breath sounds, pulse oximeter (SpO2), and exhaled CO2 monitoring (capnography).29,30 The presence of gastric distension indicates gastric insufflation during BMV
– Two-handed technique may be used in cases of ineffective mask ventilation with one-hand technique
In case of ineffective bag and mask ventilation, laryngeal mask airway (LMA) may be required for optimal ventilation till a definitive control of airway is done
Procedure Steps for Children
• Open and clean the airway.
– Careful head extension: Excessive extension of neck needs to be avoided
to prevent obstruction of the airway
– The mouth is opened and gentle suction of the oral cavity is done once or twice
• Make a mask seal
• Ventilation is initiated to target a visible chest rise for optimal ventilation
Observe any gastric inflation
– In case of ineffective ventilation: Recheck an optimal mask seal if leak is observed
– Patient positioning needs adjustment with optimal jaw thrust and avoiding excessive downward pressure or over the mandible
– OPA, NPA or LMA may be inserted if the problem of ineffective ventilation persists
• The effectiveness of ventilation is confirmed by observing:
– Increase in heart rate to more than 100 beats/min – Visible chest rise
– Rise in saturation

Trang 37Endotracheal intubation is the most commonly performed procedure in the
intensive care unit (ICU), in which a tube is placed into the trachea to maintain
an open airway, to allow the free flow of air to and from the lungs in unconscious
patients and in trauma patients who cannot maintain a patent, protected
airway; and also to support ventilation, who are unable to breathe adequately
on their own Airway control is vital to improve pulmonary gas exchange during
hemodynamic instability and respiratory failure, as well as to protect the patient
from aspiration Oral or nasal airways are often used to keep the airway patent
temporarily during preparation for endotracheal intubation Oxygen, anesthetics
or some medications can also be delivered through the tube
INDICATION
• Cardiac arrest
• Respiratory arrest
• Airway obstruction
• Imminent risk of upper airway obstruction (e.g upper airway burns)
• Facial injuries associated with compromised airway
• Altered mental status for protection from aspiration
• Head injury [Glasgow coma scale (GCS <8)]
• Need to control and remove pulmonary secretions
• Need for invasive ventilation in respiratory failure with inadequate oxygena
tion (which is not corrected by oxygen supplementation through mask/nasal cannula) or inadequate ventilation and hypercarbia
• Severe hemodynamic instability and shock
• General anesthesia with muscle relaxants
CONTRAINDICATION
For Both Oral and Nasal Intubations
• Patients with an intact gag reflex
• Partial transection of the trachea (can lead to complete transection)
• Patients with highrisk of laryngospasm during intubation (e.g children with
epiglottitis)
Trang 3818 Section 1: Airway and Respiratory Procedures
• Caution with unstable cervical spine that requires inline cervical stabilization
makes endotracheal intubation difficult (relative contraindication)
• Severe airway trauma or obstruction providing very small area to place the
endotracheal tube (ETT) as attempts to intubate may worsen the condition resulting in severe respiratory obstruction Emergency cricothyrotomy/
tracheostomy is indicated in such cases (relative contraindication)
For Nasal Intubation
• Basilar skull fracture and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea
• Nasal polyp, abscess, adenoids or foreign body
• Bleeding disorders
• Previous nasal surgery is only relative contraindication
APPLIED ANATOMY
The upper airway (Fig 1) starts at the nostrils/oral cavity, to the hypopharynx
and larynx The high vascular areas of nasal and septal mucosa, the little’s area
and the Kiesselbach’s plexus may bleed profusely during nasal route intubation
especially in presence of bleeding disorder. The epiglottis is attached to the base
of the tongue by a median and two lateral glossoepiglottic folds The larynx is a
5–7 cm long structure Its upper boundary starts at the tip of the epiglottis, opposite
the third to fourthcervical vertebra Its lower end is at the lower border of the
cricoid cartilage, which lies at the level of sixth cervical vertebra The structural
rigidity of the larynx is provided by the three median cartilages: the epiglottis,
thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage along with the hyoid bone The six smaller
cartilages of the larynx (3 pairs) are functionally involved with the movements
of the vocal cords (Fig 2) These are the arytenoids, the corniculates and the
cuneiforms The arytenoid cartilages are pyramidshaped and articulate with
the superior margin of the cricoid lamina On their summit, are the corniculate
cartilages; on their anterior aspect, the cuneiform cartilages The vocal ligaments
are attached posteriorly to the apex of the arytenoids and corniculates The
cuneiforms extend laterally, between the layers of the vocal cords, from the
anterior aspect of the arytenocorniculate complex The trachea is a membranous
and Dshaped cartilaginous tube, with incomplete cartilaginous ring and extends
from the lower part of the larynx, at the level with the sixth cervical vertebra, up to
the upper border of the fifth thoracic vertebra, where it ends by dividing into the
two bronchi, one for each lung It is about 11 cm long and its diameter is greater
in the male (25–27 mm) than in the female (21–23 mm)
TECHNIQUE AND EQUIPMENT
In 1885, Joseph O’Dwyer, an American pediatrician and obstetrician, inserted
metal tubes between the vocal cords in patients with diphtheria and in patients
requiring surgery The first direct laryngoscopy was performed in 1895 by Alfred
Kirstein with an external light source In 1913, Chevalier Jackson designed a
laryngoscope and was the first to perform intubation with it Laryngoscope was
later modified by Magill, Miller and Macintosh.1,2
The traditional and most commonly used method of intubation is oral intubation using direct laryngoscopy Nasal intubation in ICU is better tolerated
Trang 39than oral tube, requires less sedation and leaves the oral cavity clear to maintain
oral hygiene The disadvantages of nasal intubation are—it is more difficult than
oral intubation and may result in bleeding due to the rich blood supply to the
nasal mucosa A nasal tube may create a false passage beneath nasal mucosa,
or in patients with basal skull fractures, into the cranium If kept for a long time,
nasal tube may be associated with infection of the paranasal air sinuses Other
methods of intubation include blind nasal intubation, intubation using video
laryngoscope, intubating laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and fiberoptic techniques

Equipment
Most commonly used ETTs are made out of polyvinyl chloride and have a
radiopaque line that helps verify the tube position by Xray To make it easier to
pass through the vocal cords and to give you a better vision ahead of the tip, ETTs
tip have a cut called a bevel Some ETTs have an additional opening at the tip
called a Murphy’s, which provides an alternative channel for gas flow, if the main
opening of the ETT gets blocked or placed against the tracheal wall The ETT cuff
forms a seal against tracheal wall that prevents gas leaking during positive pressure
ventilation and also prevents aspiration of secretions and regurgitated gastric
contents There are two types of cuff Highvolume, lowpressure cuffs have a
lower risk of tracheal wall ischemia and necrosis compared to lowvolume high
pressure cuffs, particularly if used for a prolonged period of time In longterm
ventilated patients, subglottic secretions can accumulate above the cuff of the ETT
that provides medium for bacterial growth and increases the risk of ventilator
associated pneumonia (VAP) Especially designed tubes are available that permits
frequent or continuous elimination of subglottic secretions to decrease the risk
