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: Procedure01:25

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...
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...

Mitral Stenosis III: Medical Management

Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage. Timely...
Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps01:16

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:
Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure01:23

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Summary

Stapes surgery volume in residency has declined but plateaued since 1986. Most general otolaryngologists still perform stapedectomy, with more residency cases correlating to higher practice rates.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Practice Trends

Background:

  • Stapes surgery is a key otolaryngology procedure.
  • Concerns exist regarding resident training volume and its impact on practice.
  • The trend in stapedectomy performance over recent decades requires evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in stapes surgery performance by residents over 40 years.
  • To determine if decreased resident training impacts general otolaryngologists performing stapedectomy.
  • To analyze the correlation between residency training and current practice patterns.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was sent to 1,700 members of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
  • Data collected included residency graduation year, fellowship status, practice setting, and stapedectomy case numbers (residency and current).
  • Respondents were categorized into general otolaryngologists based on fellowship status.

Main Results:

  • 41% of general otolaryngologists currently perform stapes surgery.
  • A significant decline in resident stapedectomies occurred from 1960-1986, followed by a plateau (8-9 cases/resident).
  • Higher stapedectomy case volume during residency correlated with increased likelihood of performing the surgery in practice.

Conclusions:

  • Despite reduced case volumes in residency, stapedectomy remains a procedure performed by general otolaryngologists.
  • Residency training volume appears to influence post-residency practice patterns.
  • Continued performance of stapedectomy by general otolaryngologists suggests training adaptations or alternative learning pathways.
