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.

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:

Plastic Surgery
Otorhinolaryngology

Context:

Rhinoplasty involves diverse nasal tip recontouring techniques, including cartilage manipulation and sutures.
A wide interdomal space presents challenges in achieving optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Purpose:

To describe a predictable and reproducible suture technique for narrowing the interdomal space in rhinoplasty.
To demonstrate the efficacy and adaptability of this technique across various rhinoplasty procedures.

Summary:

The technique utilizes permanent sutures to narrow the interdomal distance, minimizing distortion, valve impingement, and overcorrection.
Applicable via intranasal or external approaches, the method has been refined since its initial description in 2004.
Efficacy demonstrated in 250 rhinoplasty cases, with variations for specific surgical goals.

Impact:

Provides surgeons with a reliable method for consistent nasal tip refinement in rhinoplasty.
Enhances functional and aesthetic outcomes by addressing wide interdomal spaces effectively.
