BRONCHO-PULMONARY SEGMENT Def- The portion of the lungs aerated by each tertiary or segmental bronchus. Features-- an independent respiratory district.- covered by inter-segmental septa through which br of pulmonary vein runs.- the largest sub-divisions of the lobe and is surgically resectable.- supplied independently by segmental brochus and a tertiary branch of pulmonary artery.

At a glance…
ACINUS V/S TERMINAL RESPIRATORY UNIT• ACINUS-The ultimate lung unit from each
terminal bronchiole.
• TRU-all alveolar duct & their accompanying alveoli,that stem from the most proximal (first) respiratory bronchiole.
• 1 Acinus contain 10-12 TRU.
• Anatomist & Pathologist –Acinus.
• Physiologist & Pulmonologist-TRU.
ANATOMICAL VARIATION & IMPLICATION IN ANAESTHESIA
Conventional Laryngoscopy – done in -supine position -a slight Neck flexion of 25-35 deg -Head extension of 85deg at atlanto-occipital
joint to align oral,pharyngeal & Laryngeal axes.
In adult a head elevation of 10 cm with a pillow is appropriate for neck flexion.
No such elevation required in pediatric age gr (<8yr age) d/t their large head size.
This position is called OPTIMAL SNIFFING POSITION.
AIRWAY ASSESSMENT• Mouth opening: an incisor distance of 3 cm or
greater is desirable in an adult.• Upper lip bite test: the lower teeth are brought in
front of the upper teeth. The degree to which this can be done estimates the range of motion of the tempero-mandibular joints .
• Mallampati classification: examines the size of the tongue in relation to the oral cavity. The greater the tongue obstructs the view of the pharyngeal structures, the more difficult intubation
Cont…• ■ Class I: the entire palatal arch, including the
bilateral faucial pillars, are visible down to their bases.
• ■ Class II: the upper part of the faucial pillars and most of the uvula are visible.
• ■ Class III: only the soft and hard palates are visible.• ■ Class IV: only the hard palate is visible.• Thyromental distance: the distance between the
mentum and the superior thyroid notch. A distance greater than 3 finger breadths is desirable.
• Neck circumference: a neck circumference of greater than 27 inch is suggestive of difficulties in visualization of the glottic opening.
Mallampati Classification of oral openingLaryngoscopic grade of Cormac & Lehane
Airway of Neonates and infants
• Relatively larger head and tongue• Narrower nasal passages• Anterior and cephalad larynx• Relatively longer epiglottis• Shorter trachea and neck• More prominent adenoids and tonsils• Weaker intercostal and diaphragmatic
muscles• Greater resistance to airflow• Adult larynx is cylindrical but • Childs larynx is Conical.
Cont…..narrowest point of the airway- cricoid cartilage (children younger than 5 years of age) glottis ( in Adult)
One millimeter of mucosal edema will have a proportionately greater effect on gas flow in children because of their smaller tracheal diameters.
The presence of fewer, smaller airways produces increased airway resistance.The alveoli are fully mature by late childhood(about 8 years of age). The work of breathing is increased and respiratory muscles easily fatigue.
Pediatric Airway
Anatomical change during Pregnancy.• Most of the changes during pregnancy are
Physiological.• Capillary engorgement of the respiratory
mucosa during pregnancy predisposes the upper airways to trauma, bleeding, and obstruction.
• Gentle laryngoscopy and smaller endotracheal tubes (6–6.5 mm) should be employed during general anesthesia.
EMERGENCY TRACHEOSTOMY
• 4 Step• Horizontal skin incision• Expose investing layer
of Deep Fascia• Divide/Displace
Isthmus.• Vertical incision in
trachea.
Aspiration, pneumonia and lung abscessRight lung is most frequently involved as the right main bronchus directly takes off from principle bronchus.
In the recumbent position, superior segment of the right lower lobe and posterior segment of the right upper lobe are the most dependent segment of the lung &in standing position, basilar segment of the lower lobe is most dependant.
Aspiration pneumonia involving apical segments of the lower lobe is known as mendelson’s syndrome
Postural DrainageIt consist of positioning the patient to allow gravity to assist the drainage of secretions from specific areas of the lungs
Segments receiving drainage should be uppermost
Treat the lower lobe segments first and upper lobe last
Aerosol therapy with humidification prior to PD
Worst area should be drained firstOn average 15-20 mins is spend in each position
During PD :
Chest manipulations like(Vibration, clapping/percussion, shaking )-Tappotment massage are performed in postural drainage position.
Should be done in order.
Vibrations and clapping first .

Technique for airway management of a patient with suspected spinal cord injury.
One individual holds the head firmly with the patient on a backboard, the cervical collar left alone if in place, ensuring that neither the head nor neck moves with direct laryngoscopy. A second person applies cricoid pressure and The third performs laryngoscopy and intubation.BUT Gold standard is FLEXIBLE FIBEROPTIC INTUBATION .
laryngoscopy with in-line stabilization
