Epistaxis

Epistaxis

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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Suctioning 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.
Equipment Required

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils, connected...

Nose and Nasal Cavity

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

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: Procedure and Tubes

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...

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Rhinology
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Modern functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) techniques often deem nasal packing unnecessary.
However, nasal packing remains a crucial tool in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) practice.
A review of current knowledge on nasal packing and stents is warranted.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a state-of-the-art overview of nasal packing and stents in endonasal surgery.
To discuss the indications, benefits, and risks associated with their use.
To explore modern alternatives and their implications for wound healing and patient comfort.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature and surgical practices regarding nasal packing and sinus stents.
Analysis of the properties and effects of conventional and modern nasal packing materials.
Evaluation of evidence for nasal occlusion techniques and frontal sinus stenting.

Main Results:

Conventional nasal packing should be smooth to minimize mucosal damage and improve healing.
Modern nasal packing materials, like hemostatic/resorbable types, aim to avoid pressure but can cause synechiae and foreign body reactions.
Nasal taping offers a simple method for moist wound healing or dry nose management.
Frontal sinus stenting is reserved for cases where outflow tract reconstruction is challenging.

Conclusions:

Careful selection of nasal packing materials is crucial to balance efficacy with minimizing adverse effects.
Innovative approaches like nasal taping can enhance endonasal wound healing.
Frontal sinus stenting should be employed judiciously for specific anatomical challenges.
