Intubation Equipment

This document describes the equipment used in an intubation set and the nursing responsibilities related to intubation. The intubation set includes a laryngoscope, endotracheal tube, stylet, sterile water, lubricating jelly, syringe, tube fixation device, suction catheter, carbon dioxide detector, Ambu-bag, nasal/oral airways, stethoscope, tape, Magill forceps, and pulse oximeter. Nursing responsibilities involve pre-intubation assessment and preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-intubation care and monitoring of the patient.

INTUBATION SET

EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
Laryngoscope – Used as the primary tool for
examination of the interior of the larynx and
for placement of an endotracheal tube

Endotracheal Tube – relieve airway


obstruction, facilitate secretion removal,
protect against aspiration, provide positive
pressure ventilation

Endotracheal Tube Stylet – is a device that


allows the ETT to be stiffened and the shape
molded as desired.

Sterile Water – used if needed to clear


secretions from suction tubing

Lubricating Jelly – to smoothly or easily


insertion of the tube to prevent friction that
causes damage to the lining.

Syringe – Used to inflate endotracheal tube


balloon
Tube Fixation Device – to secure ETT in
place

Suction Catheter – Used to clear secretions


and to maintain airway patency and to
therefore optimize oxygenation and
ventilation in a ventilated patient.

Carbon Dioxide Detector – Used to confirm


the correct placement of an endotracheal
tube after intubation.

Ambu-Bag – Is a hand-held device


commonly used to provide positive pressure
ventilation to patients who are not breathing
or not breathing adequately.

Nasal and Oral Airways – Facilitation of


spontaneous breathing and bag-valve-mask
ventilation in patients requiring head-tilt/chin-
tilt or jaw thrust maneuvers.

Stethoscope – Used to confirm oxygenation

Tape – Another device to secure ETT in


place
Magill Forceps – Used to guide a tracheal
tube into the larynx or a nasogastric tube into
the esophagus under direct vision.

Pulse Oximeter – To determined


measurements of oxygen saturation which
confirm proper oxygenation of the patient.

Nursing Responsibilities

A. Pre-intubation
1. Assessment if patient qualified for intubation
2. Manage Airway by performing head tilt/chin lift and jaw thrust.
3. Ventilation – ventilating with bad valve mask device with self-inflating bag
4. Oxygenation with 100% oxygen
5. Removal of obstructing foreign material using suction and yankauer
6. Insert nasal or oral pharyngeal airway
7. Prepare intubation equipment
B. During Intubation
1. Ventilate and oxygenate
2. Monitor vital signs
3. Suction when necessary
4. Handing equipment needed for the procedure
5. Provide cricoid pressure in requested
6. Auscultate over lung and air fields
7. Inflate cuff of endotracheal tube
8. Secure endotracheal tube
C. Post Intubation
1. Discard soiled item in appropriate receptacle
2. Reposition client
3. Compare respiratory assessment before and after ET tube care
4. Observe depth and position of ET tube according to physician
recommendation
5. Assess security of tape by gently tugging at tube
6. Assess skin around mouth and oral mucous membranes for intactness
and pressure areas.
