an OPA is an "Oropharyngeal Airway"....or basically...it's a piece of curved, thick plastic that goes into the mouth "oral or Oro"...and it prevents the tongue from falling back onto the pharynx "Pharengeal"...therefore keeping the "airway" open so that we can circulate air. For short we just call it the OPA.

Why don't any of these videos ever include the CC's needed to inflate the cuff - even the instructional videos omit this one rather important detail.

[jasonwassom]

@laurems1 - Hi there...it's typically 10cc's. Thanks.

Is seems as if your partner is bagging him too fast, it would cause hyperventilation.

[jasonwassom]

@Medicalphile - you are correct, he was bagging too fast. We were students at the time we filmed this, and he didn't understand what he was doing yet. thanks for commenting.

Great job intubator. Dude on the BVM needs to settle down a bit. I'd like to see an end tidal Co2 reading on that patient after that vigorous of a bag job.

damn dude great video...you kno your shit

[RedneckHunter004]

was good except he failed if he was doing this for national registry... he didnt inflate cuff to make sure it inflated before putting in pt and he also said suction for 15 secs. well thats a fail its 10 seconds

[DrSkawman]

@Dragill lol....very good point....

[DrSkawman]

@laurems1 I suppose this is due the fact that tube's cuff may vary with size, tube kind, tube's brand.... You should always check CC needed, on the tube's package and verify cuff's integrity before using it on patient.

[jeremyzachmann]

you forgot to check your cuffs prior to insertion. Besides that, Solid.

great video!

@laurems1 maximum inflation is 10 cc's anymore could cause severe consequences to pt recovery. If you need more then 10 cc's to form a seal then your selection of ETT is too small.
