Difficult airway/can't
intubate, can't
ventilate" equipment
and Training
7. Please could you provide details of how stocks of Parkinson’s medication in
emergency drug cupboards are being monitored across all the hospitals in your
Trust?
NA
1 - Does your trust stock "Difficult airway/can't intubate, can't ventilate" equipment
(i.e.: tracheotomy and cricothyrotomy equipment) within your resuscitation
department/have the equipment available to A&E?
Our Trust does not have an A&E Department; however both of our operating departments
have difficult airway trollies, which are stocked to DAS standards – including Tracheostomy
and Cricothyrotomy equipment.
2 - Does your trust stock fibreoptic intubation equipment that is available in an
emergency airway situation within A&E?
As above, we use AMBU 3 disposable fibreoptic laryngoscopes.
3 - Does your trust stock video laryngoscopes within your resuscitation
department/have the equipment readily available to A&E?
As above, we use McGrath Video Laryngoscope
4 - What level (if any) of training is provided by your trust to Anaesthetics trainees
with regard to "Can't intubate/Can't ventilate" (CICV) situations, including practical
27.11.14
training in performing CICV rescue procedures?
See Q5
5 - At what level (if any) of training does your trust require Anaesthetics trainees
(including registrars) to be competent in CICV practical rescue procedures as a
requirement of their job role (or are such matters left in the hands of the Deaneries)?
Management of CICV training is a generic skill which we would expect a CT2 in Anaesthesia
to possess.
Difficult airway training and front of neck access training should be taught at trust level. As
trainees rotate to various trusts they would have received such training. It is good practice to
repeat this training whenever they rotate to a new trust. This affords them the opportunity to
familiarise themselves with the equipment in our trust.
We are in the process of arranging some in-house training for our trainees that relates to the
difficult airway trolley.
6 - What level (if any) of training is provided in your trust to nursing staff with A&E
regarding airway management and CICV situations?
As above – for theatres there is currently no additional training, places recently have
become available on the ADAM course but as yet no one has attended.
7 - What level (if any) of training is provided in your trust to nursing staff with A&E
regarding "Human Factors" (including if possible - with regard to emergency
situations)?
As above, for theatre staff, there are roughly four simulation events a year which allows for
4-6 staff to attend each time.
