Introduction
Some neonates require intubation to maintain a patent airway, provide adequate
ventilation and oxygenation. The nurses role is to prepare the patient, equipment
and medications and to assist the Medical Officer (MO) / Neonatal Nurse Practitioner
(NNP) with the procedure
Intubation is recognised as a painful procedure with adverse physiological responses
and the risk of trauma to the airways. Premedication is given for any non-urgent
intubation1, 2,3,4,5,6
Oro-tracheal intubation is the route of preference in an emergency and for
inexperienced operators 3,5,7,8
Fixation (taping) of an endotracheal tube is performed to ensure the intended position
of the tube is maintained and the risk of accidental extubation is minimised. Many
fixation devices and techniques are described in the literature 3, 8
Extubation is performed when the endotracheal tube is no longer required or a
replacement tube is necessary

Definition(s)
Endotracheal tube (ETT): oral/nasal, siliconised, latex free tube with a radiopaque
blue line. (Non-Murphy eye) 9
Murphy Eye: is a side vent near the distal end of an ETT to prevent complete
respiratory obstruction in the event that the open end of the ETT were to become
sealed by contact with the tracheal wall or occluded by a mass or mucous plug25
Intubation: insertion of an ETT into the trachea via the nose (naso-tracheal route) or
mouth (oro-tracheal route) using a laryngoscope1
Premedication: the use of sedatives, analgesics, neuromuscular blockers and
anticholinergics in isolation or combination to facilitate tracheal intubation. Optimises
intubation conditions and helps to minimise the adverse physiologic effects of
intubation 1, 6
Extubation: removal of the ETT
Cricoid cartilage: is the lowermost of the laryngeal cartilages12
Cricoid pressure: is the downward pressure applied to the cricoid cartilage using
the fore or middle finger to compress the oesophagus between the cricoid cartilage
and the anterior surface of the vertebral body3,12

Indications
INTUBATION1, 3,8,10
Any condition that requires a patent airway and/or artificial ventilation or
oxygenation

EXTUBATION
Blocked ETT
Elective change of ETT
Resolution of indication for intubation

Contraindications

The presence of cervical injuries is a contraindication to intubation with a


laryngoscope in older patients not a frequent problem in neonates 8
Muscle relaxation is contraindicated in situations known to be associated with
difficult intubation e.g. Pierre Robin sequence or when the operator is
inexperienced with these medications1,5

ETT tube length guide chart (on resuscitation trolley)

This chart indicates the position for a nasal tube at the nare based on the
crown to heel length of the neonate and is most useful when the weight is not
known. The depth of insertion for an oral tube at the centre of the upper lip is
1cm less than for a nasal tube

June 1968)
(In emergency use 20% of crown-heel length)
