1. throughout the procedure
● Failed intubation with lack of airway and hypoxia
● Regurgitation / vomiting and aspiration
● Oesophageal intubation causing gastric distension or oesophageal trauma
● proper foremost bronchus intubation with atelectasis of left lung and hypoxia
● Trauma
¤ airway trauma eg dental harm, haemorrhage, vocal cord damage
¤ pneumothorax
¤ pneumomediastinum
¤ cervical damage or exacerbation thereof
¤ dislocation of mandible
● headaches of the drugs administered :
●
¤
Thiopentone
- hypotension
- histamine release
¤
Suxamethonium
- raised intracranial, intragastric and intraocular pressure
- histamine release
- hyperkalaemia in patients with burns, spinal injuries
- bradycardia in infants
2. even as tube is in region
whilst tube is in area
● Tube obstruction/kinking
● Tube displacement both into oesophagus or into right fundamental bronchus
● Barotrauma with pneumothorax
● Aspiration
essential factors
1. constantly hold a nicely organized crash trolley.
2. make certain that earlier than intubation the group of workers, the equipment and the affected person are organized as a lot as time permits.
3. test all gadget before taking off.
4. If hypoxia occurs, assume tube malfunction or malposition first. If unsure, extubate, ventilate, re-oxygenate and re-intubate with a sparkling tube.
