🗣️ Anesthesia for Otolaryngologic Surgery covers shared airway management, jet ventilation, airway fire prevention, tracheostomy, OSA considerations, ENT-specific procedures, and post-tonsillectomy bleeding — crucial for both EDAIC Part I and daily OR challenges.
📘 What You’ll Learn
ENT surgeries present unique challenges due to shared airway access, fire risks, and variable ventilation strategies. This module equips you with the core knowledge and clinical judgment needed to safely manage patients undergoing otolaryngologic procedures — both for the EDAIC Part I exam and real-life anesthesia practice.
🤝 Shared Airway Management – Communication with surgeons, apneic techniques, tube choice
🔥 Airway Fire Prevention – FiO₂ limitation, laser precautions, emergency response protocols
💨 Jet Ventilation – High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) principles, indications, limitations, and monitoring
👃 Endoscopic Sinus Surgery – Controlled hypotension, bleeding minimization, topical vasoconstrictors
🗣️ Laryngeal Surgery – Tube sizing, laser-safe tubes, vocal cord preservation
🫁 Tracheostomy – Elective vs emergency, percutaneous vs open, anesthetic depth, oxygenation management
💤 Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – Perioperative risk stratification, opioid sensitivity, CPAP/airway support
🩸 Post-Tonsillectomy Bleeding – Full stomach, rapid sequence induction, vascular access, potential difficult airway
