Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

6.5K
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.

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

1.7K
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

3.7K
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

3.4K
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...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

7.7K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Infectious Disease Management

Background:

  • Deep neck infection (DNI) presents significant clinical challenges.
  • Various incision and drainage techniques exist for DNI management.
  • Closed-suction drainage (CSD) is utilized in other surgical contexts for fluid management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical utility and effectiveness of closed-suction drainage (CSD) in the treatment of deep neck infections (DNI).

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 30 patients with DNI treated with CSD between January 2006 and December 2011.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, comorbidities, airway management, infection site, CSD parameters, hospitalization duration, and complications.
  • Analysis involved investigating CSD results and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • CSD was applied to 30 DNI patients, with 37% having systemic diseases and 80% presenting with odontogenic infections.
  • The mean duration of CSD was 14.6 days, with a mean of 406 cc of pus drained.
  • Complications included wound rupture (7%) and drain tube dislodgement (3%); mortality rate was 4%.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis, secure airway management, and prompt surgical drainage are crucial for DNI treatment.
  • CSD demonstrates clinical usefulness in DNI management due to its minimally invasive nature.
  • CSD offers advantages in post-operative care and potentially reduces complications compared to other drainage methods.
