ARROW EZ-IO SYSTEM PROXIMAL HUMERUS LANDMARKING A A: Place the patient s hand over the abdomen (elbow adducted and humerus internally rotated). Place your palm on the patient s shoulder anteriorly. The area that feels like a ball under your palm is the general target area. B You should be able to feel this ball, even on obese patients, by pushing deeply. B: Place the ulnar aspect of your hand vertically over the axilla. C Place the ulnar aspect of your other hand along the midline of the upper arm laterally. C: Place your thumbs together over the arm. This identifies the vertical line of insertion on the proximal humerus. D: Palpate deeply up the humerus to the surgical neck. D This may feel like a golf ball on a tee the spot where the ball meets the tee is the surgical neck. The insertion site is 1 to 2 cm above the surgical neck, on the most prominent aspect of the greater tubercle.
EZ-IO SYSTEM INSERTION TECHNIQUE STEP 1: Locate the insertion site. STEP 2: Clean insertion site per hospital protocol. Stabilise extremity. Pediatrics only STEP 3: Gently press needle through the skin until the tip touches the bone. The 5 mm black mark on the cathetermust be visible prior to insertion. Squeeze the trigger, apply gentlesteady pressure. STEP 4: Stabilise hub and remove driver and stylet. Place stylet in an appropriate sharps container. STEP 5: Place the EZ-Stabilizer Dressing over the catheter hub.
EZ-IO SYSTEM APPLICATION AND REMOVAL STEP 6: Attach primed EZ-Connect Extension Set, firmly secure to catheter hub with clamp open. STEP 7: Remove adhesive from back of EZ-Stabilizer Dressing and apply to skin. STEP 8: Confirm placement. Flush the EZ-IO Catheter with normal saline (5 10 ml for adults; 2 5 ml for infants/children). May require multiple flushes. Prior to flush, consider intraosseous 2 % preservative- and epinephrine-free lidocaine IO for patients responsive to pain follow institutional protocols/policy.* STEP 9: Deliver medication and fluids as ordered. If adequate IO flow rates cannot be achieved with an infusion pump, a pressure bag should be considered. REMOVAL STEP 10: Using a sterile luer-lock syringe as a handle, attach to hub of needle, maintain alignment and rotate clockwise while pulling straight up. Avoid rocking the needle on removal, dispose of catheter with syringe attached in an approved sharps container.
EZ-IO SYSTEM INSERTION SITES The EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System offers multiple sites for safe, fast vascular access in emergent, urgent or medically necessary cases. EZ-IO SYSTEM INSERTION SITES Do NOT use the powered EZ-IO Vascular Access System in the sternum Advantages of proximal humerus site include: Flow rates average 5 l/hr 2 3 seconds to heart with medication/fluids 3 Lower insertion & infusion pain 2 Less medication required for pain management 2 No reported compartment syndrome due to IO placement as of Jan. 2015 Potential complications may include local or systemic infection, hematoma, extravasations or other complications associated with percutaneous insertion of sterile devices.

LMA SUPREME AIRWAY INSERTION TECHNIQUE FIGURE 1: Fully deflate the mask for insertion. Attach a syringe. Compress the distal tip of the mask with thumb and index finger. Apply slight tension to the inflation line while removing all air until a vacuum is felt. Disconnect the syringe. Generously lubricate the posterior surface of the cuff and airway tube. FIGURE 2: Place the patient s head in a neutral or slight sniffing position. Hold the LMA Supreme Airway at the proximal end with the connector pointing downward to the chest and the tip of the distal end pointing toward the palate. FIGURE 3: Press the tip of the mask against the hard palate. Maintaining pressure against the palate, continue to rotate the mask inwards in a circular motion following the curvature of the hard and soft palate. FIGURE 4: Continue until resistance is felt. The distal end of the mask should now be in contact with the upper esophageal sphincter. The device is now fully inserted. 1 2 3 4
LMA SUPREME AIRWAY INSERTION TECHNIQUE FIGURE 5:* Maintaining inward pressure, secure the mask into position by taping cheek to cheek across the fixation tab. This should be done prior to inflation. Inflate with the minimum amount of air needed to achieve an effective seal. 5 * Alternatively, taping can be done after the esophageal seal is confirmed. Inward pressure should be applied throughout inflation and ventilation, prior to taping in place.
LMA SUPREME AIRWAY DIAGNOSTIC TESTS After the LMA Supreme Airway is inserted, secured and inflated, diagnostic tests No. 1 and No. 2 should be performed to confirm the complete separation of the respiratory and alimentary tracts, or the LMA Supreme Airway oro pharyngeal and esophageal seal, respectively. Diagnostic Test No. 3 is optional. DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO. 1: FIXATION TAB TEST (Recommended to confirm correct size and esophageal seal) After fixation, the taping tab should be positioned 1 to 2.5 cm from the upper lip. If the taping tab is more than 2.5 cm from the upper lip, this suggests the device may be too big. If the taping tab is less than 1 cm from the lip, this suggests the device may be too small. At no time should the taping tab be in contact with the upper lip. Use clinical judgment to replace a mask that appears too big or small. DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO. 2: GEL TEST (Recommended to confirm correct size and esophageal seal) Apply ¼ inch of (viscous) water-soluble sterile lubricant to the proximal end of the drain tube and hand ventilate. The gel should remain covered across the top of the drain
LMA SUPREME AIRWAY DIAGNOSTIC TESTS tube. This indicates that the esophageal seal has been achieved by ensuring the tip of the mask is against the upper esophageal sphincter. DIAGNOSTIC TEST NO. 3: OG TUBE PLACEMENT (OPTIONAL) (Inserting an OG tube allows the option to either suction or decompress the stomach. Successful passage of an OG tube is definitive confirmation of drain tube patency and tract separation). To facilitate gastric decompression and/or drainage, an OG tube can be placed into the drain tube of the LMA Supreme Airway and advanced into the stomach at any time during the procedure. Refer to the Sizing Guide table for maximum gastric tube sizes. The gastric tube should be well lubricated and passed slowly and carefully. Suction should not be performed until the gastric tube has reached the stomach. Suction should not be applied directly to the end of the drain tube. It is clinical preference to either remove the OG tube or leave it in place. If left in place, in the unlikely event of active or passive (non-suctioned) regurgitation, the drain tube would lose its patency.

ALTERNATIVE SIZING METHODS Oral Airway Comparison Size the oral airway according to the traditional sizing method (angle of the jaw to the corner of the mouth). Choose the appropriate size LMA Supreme Airway, based on the following: 80 mm oral airway (No.3) = Size 3 LMA Supreme Airway 90 mm oral airway (No.4) = Size 4 LMA Supreme Airway 100 mm oral airway (No.5) = Size 5 LMA Supreme Airway 1
LMA MAD NASAL ATOMIZATION DEVICE PROCEDURES STEP 1: Using the free hand to hold the occiput of the head stable, place the tip of the MAD Nasal Device snugly against the nostril aiming slightly up and outward (toward the top of the ear). Fill syringe with proper volume of medication required to treat the patient (an extra 0.1 ml should be drawn up to account for the dead space in the device). Attach the MAD Nasal Device to the syringe via luer-lock connector. STEP 2: Briskly compress the syringe plunger to deliver half of the medication into the nostril. STEP 3: Move the device over to the opposite nostril and, repeating steps 1 and 2, administer the remaining medication into the nostril if indicated.
LMA MAD NASAL ATOMIZATION DEVICE MAD100 MAD140 TIPS TO IMPROVE SUCCESS Minimise volume, maximise concentration 1 3 ml per nostril is ideal, 1 ml is maximum Use the appropriately concentrated drug Maximise total mucosal absorptive surface area Atomize the drug (rather than drip it in) to cover broad surface area Use BOTH nostrils to double the absorptive surface area Aim slightly up and outwards to cover the turbinates and olfactory mucosa Beware of abnormal mucosal characteristics Mucous, blood and vasoconstrictors reduce absorption Suction nostrils or consider alternate drug delivery method in these situations LMA MAD NASAL ATOMIZATION DEVICE ORDERING INFORMATION item number MAD100 MAD140 MAD300 product description LMA MAD Nasal Intranasal Mucosal Atomization Device with 3 ml syringe LMA MAD Nasal Intranasal Mucosal Atomization Device with 3 ml syringe and vial adapter for use with pre-loaded syringe LMA MAD Nasal Intranasal Mucosal Atomization Device without syringe Additional sizes and configurations are available.
