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...
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:
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques01:30

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...
Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps01:26

Tracheostomy 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.
Equipment Required
First, gather all necessary equipment: a sterile suction catheter, a sterile disposable container, sterile gloves, a towel or...

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Cancer treatments can lead to infertility, impacting young women's mental health and quality of life.
  • Vaginal radical trachelectomy (VRT) is a fertility-sparing surgical option for early-stage cervical cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and analyze recent data (last 10 years) on vaginal radical trachelectomy.
  • To assess oncological safety and obstetrical outcomes of VRT.
  • To identify current knowledge gaps and future research directions for VRT.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of studies on vaginal radical trachelectomy published in the last decade.
  • Analysis of oncological and obstetrical outcomes reported in the literature.
  • Synthesis of findings to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of VRT.

Main Results:

  • Vaginal radical trachelectomy demonstrates favorable oncological safety for early-stage disease.
  • Obstetrical outcomes following VRT are promising, supporting future pregnancy potential.
  • The procedure addresses concerns of cancer-related infertility, including psychological and sexual well-being.

Conclusions:

  • Vaginal radical trachelectomy is a viable fertility-preserving treatment for select young women with early-stage cancer.
  • Continued research is needed to further clarify long-term oncological and obstetrical results.
  • VRT offers a crucial option for maintaining reproductive health in gynecologic cancer survivors.
