VORTEX AIRWAY CHECKLIST
USE AS COGNITIVE AID IN AIRWAY PLANNING AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT
Start with whichever of the three non-surgical airway supports (mask, LMA, ETT) is appropriate.
No more than THREE attempts at each airway support technique (mask, LMA, ETT)! Check!
For each airway support, consider whether changes in the following will help :
Manipulation (head/neck, larynx, device)! ! ! ! ! ! ! Check! Adjuncts (oro/nasopharyngeal airways, stylet/bougie, videolaryngoscope etc) !! Check! Size/Type! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Check! Suction! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Check! Pharyngeal muscle tone! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Check!
The aim is to ensure alveolar oxygenation and allow the team to rapidly manage an airway crisis. Move from each of the three non-surgical options (BMV-LMA-ETT) attempting to remain in green zone and avoid deterioration into surgical airway as a rescue for ‘can’t intubate, can’t oxygenate’

TRANSFER INFORMATIONSometimes important details can get forgotten. I use the ABC approach to handover to retrieval team, as follows: “Thank God you’re here! OK, this is John Doe age 21 involved in a motor vehicle accident with prolonged extrication and transferred via ambulance to us. He needs transfer to a trauma centre for a laparotomy for internal bleeding. In terms of summary, here’s his ABC...”
The above would take 90 seconds and is an ordered summary of the patient for handover.
A - Airway Intubated on arrival for GCS M3V1E1 - grade I view.Airway now patent, protected with size 8.5 ETT tube 22cm teeth and tied. Cervical collar in situ.
B - Breathing Paralysed with vecuronium and on volume control TV 600 RR 12R sided HTX and a 34Fr intercostal catheter in place, drained 400ml blood. SpO2 96%
C - Circulation Haemodynamically stable after 750ml crystalloid titrated to radial pulse in 250ml aliquots. HR 90 BP 100/70Bleeding likely from HTX, abdomen and pelvis (binder on)
D - Disability/Drugs M3V1E1 PEARLA initially, now M1V1E1 on propofol/vecuronium infusion.
E - Exposure R HTX drained as above.Abdomen tense and tender in LUQ, suspect splenic injury.No other injuries on log roll, pelvic binder applied.Warm blankets and Bair hugger
F - Fluids 3 x 250ml crystalloid aliquots titrated to radial pulse (SBP 70)IDC in situ and drained 300ml clear urine
G - Gut Last ate 7pm. NG passed and on free drainage.
H - Haematology Hb 114 on iStat, INR 1.1 No ACoTS.
I - Infusions Not needed vasopressorsOn propofol and vecuronium infusions for transport
J - JVP Not elevated - no signs tPTX/tamponade.
K - Kelvin Temp is 36 degrees with active warming
L - Lines 14G IV R wrist8Fr rapid infuser L ACF
M - Micro Has been given ADT
N - Notes/NOK His notes are in this envelope, including copies of plain X-raysNext Of Kin (NOK) are aware and here are their contact details.
