SBAR II: Application of SBAR01:14

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.
SBAR Report from a Nurse to a Health Care Provider
S: "Hello, Dr. Smith. This is Jane, RN, from the Med Surg unit. I am calling to tell you about Ms. White in Room 210, who is experiencing increased pain and redness at her incision site. Her recent...
Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...
Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
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...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Postoperative bleeding is a known complication following tonsillectomy.
  • Current reporting methods for tonsillectomy bleeding lack standardization, leading to inconsistencies in the literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a standardized system for reporting post-tonsillectomy bleeding.
  • To address the variation in how bleeding complications after tonsillectomy are documented.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted using Ovid Medline for studies published between 1996 and 2009.
  • Data on post-tonsillectomy bleeding from relevant studies were analyzed based on strict criteria.
  • A novel classification system for reporting bleeding was developed based on the literature analysis.

Main Results:

  • Literature review revealed significant variation in the reporting of post-tonsillectomy bleeding.
  • Existing categorization systems for bleeding are frequently underutilized.
  • A proposed five-type classification system (Type I-V) categorizes bleeding severity based on required intervention, from conservative measures to fatal outcomes.
  • The system also incorporates reporting of the postoperative day of bleeding occurrence.

Conclusions:

  • The description and reporting of post-tonsillectomy bleeding in scientific literature are highly variable.
  • A proposed standardized system aims to improve consistency and clarity in reporting tonsillectomy-related bleeding events.
