Click to Return to Search Page VIEW SELECTED LIBRARY MEDIA Name of Media: DAS guidelines for management of unanticipated difficult intubation in adults 2015 Author(s): Difficult Airway Society (DAS) Publisher or Source: Difficult Airway Society (DAS) Type of Media: Medical Professional Education Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians,Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the) Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: These guidelines provide a strategy to manage unanticipated difficulty with tracheal intubation. They are founded on published evidence. Where evidence is lacking, they have been directed by feedback from members of the Difficult Airway Society and based on expert opinion. They have been informed by advances in the understanding of crisis management and emphasise the recognition and declaration of difficulty during airway management. A simplified, single algorithm now covers unanticipated difficulties in both routine intubation and rapid sequence induction. Planning for failed intubation should form part of the pre-induction briefing, particularly for urgent surgery. Emphasis is placed on assessment, preparation, positioning, preoxygenation, maintenance of oxygenation, and minimising trauma from airway interventions. It is recommended that the number of airway interventions are limited, and blind techniques using a bougie or through supraglottic airway devices have been superseded by video- or fibre-optically guided intubation. If tracheal intubation fails, supraglottic airway devices are recommended to provide a route for oxygenation while reviewing how to proceed. Second-generation devices have advantages and are recommended. When both tracheal intubation and supraglottic airway device insertion have failed, waking the patient is the default option. If at this stage, face-mask oxygenation is impossible in the presence of muscle relaxation, cricothyroidotomy should follow immediately. Scalpel cricothyroidotomy is recommended as the preferred rescue technique and should be practised by all anaesthetists.

However, patients may experience either pleasant or unpleasant memories during their stay in ICU. Unpleasant experiences can affect patients or lead to later negative consequences. Critical care nurses have a pivotal role in identifying traumatic experiences in order to improve care. This study aims to explore the intensive care experiences among ICU survivors. This study was conducted in the general wards of three selected hospitals in Malaysia. One hundred and forty-two(142) participants agreed to take part in this study and to answer the Intensive Care Experience Questionnaire (ICEQ) which included additional questions that covered four domains: awareness of surroundings, frightening experiences, recall of experiences, and satisfaction with care. There sults of the study were as follows: Half of the samples reported a high awareness of their surroundings. The less aware group reported not being aware of people, place and time. About70% (67.6%)of the samples reported high levels of frightening experiences.Pain experienced by the participants came from medical procedures or by the disease process. Only 17.6% of the samples reported being able to recall precisely what happened in the ICU.Participants recalled seeing scary things but having enough sleep in the ICU.The results showed that43.0% reported being highly satisfied with their care, and claimed that the staff waskind and delivered the best care to patients.This result indicates that critically ill patients, especially in the ICU,need strong support physically and psychologically in order to minimize unpleasant experiences and, later, negative consequences by providing a conducive environment and care with sympathetic concern.

NICE considered the evidence relating to the efficacy and safety of intraoperative blood cell salvage in obstetrics (IPG144) and for intraoperative red blood cell salvage during radical prostatectomy or radical cystectomy (IPG258) in response to concerns expressed about theoretical risks associated with the procedure. These concerns were the possibility of amniotic fluid embolism and haemolytic disease in future pregnancies when used in obstetrics, and reinfusion of malignant cells when used in radical prostatectomy/cystectomy. The evidence relating to safety of cell salvage in these procedures was considered adequate and therefore NICE does not intend to review its use in other specific clinical situations unless notified of new indications for intraoperative cell salvage in which there may be new safety concerns. Description Intraoperative blood cell salvage involves the collection of the solid components of the blood lost during an operation which is then transfused back to the same patient. Coding and clinical classification codes for this guidance.
