Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Back Up Right Pressure. Toward the patient's back, up toward the head, to the right pressure. This is a technique used for intubation. The person performing the intubation uses this technique to visualize the cords. Lea Ann Bobbitt, RN, CCP Subject: B U R P ?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 It is also known as external laryngeal manipulation (ELM). It is NOT the same as Sellick's maneuver, and it is done for an entirely different purpose.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 The BURP maneuver is a backward, upward and right sided pressure applied to the thyroid and cricoid cartilages to give a better view of the glottic opening during intubation attempts.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Actually Rick, it's not the Sellick's Maneuver. Sellick's Maneuver is straight downward pressure on the *cricoid,* while BURP, also known as ELM (external laryngeal manipulation) is directed pressure on the *thyroid* cartilage. rabbiems@... wrote: > > Learning Medic; > It's Backward,Upward,Rightward,Pressure.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 The efficacy of the " BURP " maneuver during a difficult laryngoscopy *O Takahata, M Kubota, K Mamiya, Y Akama, T Nozaka, H Matsumoto and H Ogawa * Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Asahikawa Medical College, Japan. The displacement of the larynx in the three specific directions (a) posteriorly against the cervical vertebrae, ( superiorly as possible, and © slightly laterally to the right have been reported and named the " BURP " maneuver. We evaluated the efficacy of the BURP maneuver in improving visualization of the larynx. Six hundred thirty patients without obvious malformation of the head and neck participated in this study. We divided the degree of visualization of the larynx using laryngoscopy into five grades and compared the visualization of the larynx using the BURP maneuver with that of laryngoscopy with and without simple laryngeal pressure ( " Back " ). The maneuver of Back and BURP significantly improved the laryngoscopic visualization from initial inspection. The BURP maneuver also significantly improved the visualization compared with the Back maneuver. We concluded that the BURP maneuver improved the visualization of the larynx more easily than simple back pressure on the larynx. http://www.anesthesia-analgesia.org/cgi/content/abstract/84/2/419 http://www.anesthesia-analgesia.org/cgi/content/abstract/84/2/419 Backwards, upwards, rightwards, pressure, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
