Dr. Abhishek Shukla, a Geriatrician from Aastha Geriatric Hospital in Lucknow, demonstrates and explains the critical procedure of securing the airway in an emergency situation. This is crucial when a patient is unable to maintain oxygen levels and is in a state of altered sensorium. In such cases, Endotracheal (ET) intubation is a life-saving intervention. Here’s how the procedure works: Assessing the Patient: When a patient shows signs of respiratory distress or reduced oxygen saturation, and is unable to protect their airway or maintain an adequate oxygen level, immediate action is necessary. ET Intubation: Dr. Shukla explains that placing an endotracheal tube (ET tube) through the patient's mouth into the trachea is the standard method to secure the airway. This tube allows for direct access to the airway, ensuring that air can flow freely into the lungs, even when the patient is unable to breathe adequately on their own. Sputum Sample: The ET tube also provides an opportunity to obtain a sputum sample for culture and sensitivity testing. This is important in diagnosing any potential infections, such as pneumonia, that could be compromising the patient’s respiratory function. Ventilator Support: If the patient’s oxygen saturation continues to be low despite intubation, the ET tube can be connected to a ventilator. This machine can take over the patient's breathing, ensuring they receive enough oxygen until the underlying cause of the respiratory failure is addressed. Importance of Knowledge: Dr. Shukla emphasizes the significance of knowing how to perform ET intubation, as it is a critical skill for healthcare providers in emergency settings. Mastering this procedure can save lives, especially when time is of the essence in restoring normal oxygenation and preventing further complications. In summary, securing the airway through ET intubation is an essential life-saving skill in emergency medicine, and it’s vital for medical professionals to be proficient in it. #AasthaCares #SmallWinsBigImpact #PatientProgress #CelebratingRecovery #HealingWithCompassion #StepsTowardsIndependence #GeriatricRehabilitation #MotivationMatters #aasthahospice #drabhisheks
