How to correctly operate the infant tracheal intubation training model?

Correct operation of infant tracheal intubation training model is the key step to ensure that medical personnel can master the tracheal intubation technology and improve the success rate of rescue. The following are detailed steps and considerations on how to properly operate an infant tracheal intubation training model:

1. Preparation

Check the model: Ensure that the infant tracheal intubation training model is intact and all components are complete, especially the laryngoscope and tracheal intubation catheter should be in good condition.

Placing the model: The model is placed in a suitable position to simulate the position of the baby's head leaning back about 30 degrees for endotracheal intubation.

Lubricate the catheter: Apply a medical lubricant to the front end of the tracheal intubation catheter to reduce resistance during intubation.

Second, the operation process

Cleaning the mouth: Use a simulated suction device to clean the secretions in the mouth of the model to ensure that the tracheal intubation channel is clear.

Insert laryngoscope: The operator stands at the head side of the model, holds the laryngoscope with his left hand, supports the model's jaw with his right hand, and places the laryngoscope along the right corner of the model's mouth, avoiding the incisor and going deep into the root of the tongue.

Expose glottis: Gently lift the laryngoscope, observe and expose the glottis. During operation, care should be taken to avoid excessive force so as not to damage the model.

Insert the catheter: Hold the endotracheal intubation catheter in the right hand, align its front end with the glottis, and gently insert the catheter into the trachea. The depth of intubation in adults is generally 23cm-26cm, but the trachea of infants is shorter, so the insertion depth should be appropriately reduced. For children over 1 year of age, the depth of intubation can be calculated using Levine's formula: age /2+12cm.

Confirm the position: Check whether the catheter has been correctly inserted into the trachea by blowing air. If the catheter is inserted correctly, the simulated lung should expand when you blow; If the catheter strays into the esophagus, there is no such phenomenon when blowing air.

Fixed catheter: Use simulated tape and other items to properly fix the tracheal intubation catheter around the mouth of the model to prevent it from falling off.

Third, precautions

Gentle operation: During the entire operation process, the movement should be kept gentle to avoid unnecessary damage to the model.

Observe feedback: Pay close attention to the feedback of the model, such as the degree of glottic exposure, the depth of catheter insertion, etc., in order to adjust the manipulation in time.

Repeated practice: Through repeated practice, master the technology of tracheal intubation, improve the success rate of rescue.

Through the above steps and precautions, medical personnel can correctly operate the infant tracheal intubation training model, laying a solid foundation for the actual work of tracheal intubation operation
