Rules For Insertion Of The Catheter For Insufflation AnesthesiaCategory: BRONCHOSCOPIC OXYGEN INSUFFLATION Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery 1. The patient should be fully under the anesthetic by the open method so as to get full relaxation of the muscles of the neck. 2. The patient's head must be in full extension with the vertex firmly pushed down toward the feet of the patient, so as to throw the neck upward and bring the occiput down as close as possible beneath the cervical vertebrae. 3. No gag should be used, because the patient should be sufficiently anesthetized not to need a gag, and because wide gagging defeats the exposure of the larynx by jamming down the mandible. 4. The epiglottis must be identified before it is passed. 5. The speculum must pass sufficiently far below the tip of the epiglottis so that the latter will not slip. 6. Too deep insertion must be avoided, as in this case the speculum goes posterior to the cricoid, and the cricoid is lifted, exposing the mouth of the esophagus, which is bewildering until sufficient education of the eye enables the operator to recognize the landmarks. 7. The patient's head is lifted off the table by the spatular tip of the laryngoscope. Actual lifting of the head will not be necessary if the patient is fully relaxed; but the idea of lifting conveys the proper conception of laryngeal exposure (Fig. 55).
