Abstract:
We saw a child after normal delivery with mild hematoma but a substantial deviation of the nose. The child had no respiratory distress nor in rest nor during effort. We decided not to perform a reposition of the nose but watched further development. After a few weeks the nose straightened significantly, and was nearly normal after 3 months. An exam after 1 year did not show any deviation. Recent studies only advise to perform surgical steps, if there is respiratory distress. This well documented case is an impressive example for the ability of the neonatal nose to help itself.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
