“…Dos oito estudos incluídos nesta revisão, quatro abordaram orientações acerca de medidas a serem adotadas pelos profissionais durante os atendimentos aos pacientes suspeitos ou contaminados pelo COVID-19. Já em relação ao uso de equipamentos de proteção individual (11)(12)(13)(14) , três apresentaram estratégias para reduzir o risco de infecção na realização de procedimentos invasivos (11,13,15) , e três forneceram orientações sobre o uso de equipamento de proteção individual durante o transporte de pacientes suspeitos e/ou contaminados (16)(17)(18) . Os países de publicação foram: EUA (11) , Suíça (12) , França (13)(14) , Taiwan (15) , Espanha (16) e Brasil (17)(18) .…”

Objective: to identify measures to prevent transmission of COVID-19 for prehospital care health care workers. Methods: integrative review using LILACS and BDENF databases via the Virtual Health Library, CINAHL, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS. Results: eight publications were included that presented recommendations regarding the use of safety equipment by healthcare professionals and ambulance drivers and measures to prevent the risk of infection during invasive airborne procedures in suspected or contaminated COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: the preventive measures directed to prehospital care professionals were proper use of personal protective equipment and changes in the management of suspected/contaminated patients by COVID-19 and in invasive procedures or transportation of these patients. In addition, it is essential the cleaning and disinfection of the ambulances and their equipment.

“…Proper airway management including avoiding inadequate seal during ventilation and minimizing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prior to intubation can decrease aerosolization [ 11 ]. Other recommendations include minimizing bag-valve-mask ventilation and flow of oxygen, covering patients with surgical masks, RSI with video laryngoscope, and earlier intubation with some institutions intubating before they enter the hospital [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. In accordance with safety concerns, our institution has developed more protocols to minimize transmission outlined in the methods section.…”

Special Considerations in Human Airway Management

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter explores the different techniques and challenges faced by emergency medical providers during pre-hospital airway management of critically ill patients. It is a crucial topic that has a major impact on patient’s safety. Improper airway management in this category of patients can lead to catastrophic results in terms of morbidity and mortality, this fact stimulates the ongoing improvement and evolution in this area of practice. We explore some of the debatable topics in pre-hospital airway management like airway management in the pediatric group, the use of medication assisted intubation and rapid sequence intubation in the field as well as the role of video assisted intubation and it’s challenges in the field. The up-to-date practices and research findings in the most recent related articles are discussed here in this chapter.
