Summary
This study offers a systematic approach to rhinoplasty preoperative planning. It bridges the gap between patient analysis and surgical strategy for aspiring rhinoplasty surgeons.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Surgical Planning
Background:
- Extensive literature exists on preoperative rhinoplasty analysis.
- A gap remains in translating this analysis into actionable surgical plans.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a systematic methodology for preoperative rhinoplasty planning.
- To guide students in developing operative courses and planning strategies.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on preoperative rhinoplasty analysis.
- Development of a systematic planning framework.
Main Results:
- Identified a lack of structured guidance for converting rhinoplasty analysis to surgical plans.
- Proposed a systematic approach to bridge this gap.
Conclusions:
- The outlined approach aims to enhance surgical planning for rhinoplasty.
- It is intended to aid students in formulating effective operative strategies.

01:16Tracheostomy 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.

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

01:30Epistaxis
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

01:26Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps
Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.
