Summary
This study introduces a geometric polygon approach to analyze nasal deformities and plan rhinoplasty surgeries. This method helps surgeons achieve desired aesthetic outcomes by defining goals and selecting appropriate techniques.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Facial Anatomy
- Aesthetic Surgery
Background:
- Nasal aesthetics rely on precise lines, shadows, highlights, proportions, and breakpoints.
- Evaluating nasal surface aesthetics requires a structured approach to define deformities and aesthetic goals.
Observation:
- Geometric polygons are utilized as aesthetic subunits to analyze nasal surface topography.
- This method allows for the precise definition of existing deformities and desired aesthetic outcomes.
Findings:
- The application of geometric polygon principles enables surgeons to systematically analyze nasal deformities.
- This analysis facilitates the creation of a targeted operative plan and the selection of optimal surgical techniques.
Implications:
- Geometric principles offer a framework for achieving predictable and improved results in rhinoplasty.
- This approach enhances the surgeon's ability to reconstruct and refine nasal aesthetics effectively.

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
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...
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...

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 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.

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...
