Epistaxis01:30

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 Airway01:29

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: 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 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:
Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

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...
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...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Biomaterials in Medicine

Background:

  • Nasal packs and stents are essential tools in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) practice.
  • Current ENT procedures necessitate a review of nasal packing and stenting indications, efficacy, and potential risks.
  • Advancements in endoscopic sinus surgery have altered requirements for nasal packing materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current indications for nasal packs and stents in ENT.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and associated risks of various nasal packing and stenting materials.
  • To provide guidance on optimal nasal packing selection for endoscopic sinus surgery and frontal sinus stenting.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current indications, effectiveness, and risks of nasal packs and stents.
  • Analysis of material properties, including surface smoothness and resorbability.
  • Evaluation of wound healing, mucosal compatibility, and patient comfort associated with different packing types.

Main Results:

  • Smooth-surfaced nasal packs are recommended for endoscopic surgery to minimize mucosal damage and improve healing.
  • Hemostatic/resorbable materials offer potential but may cause adhesions or foreign body reactions.
  • Simple occlusion effectively promotes a moist wound environment, aiding healing and preventing dryness.
  • Frontal sinus stenting is advised for persistent drainage pathway issues post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Nasal packing choice significantly impacts mucosal healing and patient comfort in endoscopic sinus surgery.
  • Careful consideration of biomaterial properties is needed to avoid complications like adhesions.
  • Effective frontal sinus stenting is crucial for long-term surgical success in select cases.
