Figure 11 : Algorithm for determining from which lung massive hemoptysis is originating and selectively intubating the opposite mainstem bronchus. Numbers in boxes indicate order of preference of interventions listed. Major airway problem? Massive hemoptys is? 1. Coma position 2. Chin lift or jaw thrust 3. Cricothyroidostomy 1. Position of comfort 2. Monitor 3. Nasopharyngeal airway More blood around than through tube? Attempt selective intubation of right lung first 99% chance of success Pass endotracheal tube through cords Advance until only adapter shows out mouth Tube in less injured side 1. Secure tube in place 2. Assess need for ventilation 3. Auscultate for breath sounds Withdraw or remove tube based on volume of blood in lumen Pass endotracheal tube through cords to normal position Attempt selective intubation of left lung 92% chance of success Turn casualty’s head to right side Rotate tube 180 so curve of tube pointing to casualty’s left side Advance until only adapter shows out mouth 72% chance of success Do not turn casualty’s head Rotate tube 90 counter- clockwise so curve of tube pointing to casualty’s left side Advance until only adapter shows out mouth 61% chance of success More blood Around than through tube? Tube in more injured side 1. Auscultate for breath sounds to determine which side it is in 2. Use techniques for selective intubation of opposite side NO NO YES YES NO YES NO YES

More blood around than

through tube?

Attempt selective intubation of right lung first99% chance of success Pass endotracheal tube through cords Advance until only adapter shows out mouth

Tube in less injured side1. Secure tube in place 2. Assess need for ventilation3. Auscultate for breath sounds

Withdraw or remove tube

based on volume of

blood in lumen

Pass endotracheal tube through cords to

normal position

Attempt selective intubation of left lung92% chance of success Turn casualty’s head to right side Rotate tube 180 so curve of tube pointing to casualty’s left side Advance until only adapter shows out mouth72% chance of success Do not turn casualty’s head Rotate tube 90 counter-clockwise so curve of tube pointing to casualty’s left side Advance until only adapter shows out mouth61% chance of success Do not turn casualty’s head Rotate tube 180 so bevel opposite Advance until only adapter shows out mouth
