Post-turn endotracheal tube migration
Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed61-year-old woman for Post-repositioning airway reassessment. About 7 simulated minutes.
What you will practise
- Recognize the immediate ventilation and gas-exchange change after repositioning.
- Call experienced airway and respiratory help and record immediate oxygenation and ventilation support intent.
- Compare pre/post tube depth, securement, cuff, bilateral ventilation, circuit, pressure, and gas exchange.
- Record experienced-airway correction and resecurement intent for the authored migrated tube.
- Prove bilateral ventilation, delivered breath, pressure, capnography, oxygenation, and circulation after correction intent.
