    The immune status was analyzed in 28 patients with cicatricial stenosis of the trachea for the purpose of determining the type and nature of affection as well as for the purpose of evaluating the clinical efficiency of galavit immunomodulator. Combined impairments were diagnosed in the patients. Moderately decreased CD4+, CD8+, CD16+, significantly decreased CD25+, HLA-DR, CD71+ and increased CD4+/CD8+ were detected at the cell level. An essentially lower CD20+, a higher content of IgG and a reduced FAN were observed in the humoral chain. Therefore, galavit, when used preoperative and immediately after surgery in patients with cicatricial stenosis of the trachea, had a positive effect on the immune status; it reliably increased the count of T-helpers (CD4+) and of natural killers (CD16+) and it induced the phagocyte activity of neutrophils.

    Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

    Tracheostomy Decannulation

    Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
    Description of the Procedure
    Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

    Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

    A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.
    Required Equipment
    The equipment necessary for tracheostomy care includes:
    Trachea01:22

    Trachea

    The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
    Anatomical Features:
    Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of the...
    Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

    Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

    A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
    Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

    Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

    Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
    Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask and...

    Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

    Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
    Tracheostomy
    A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...
