The Thoracic Cage: Sternum01:17

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum

9.1K
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12).
The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

9.4K
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

5.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Minimally invasive procedures

Background:

  • Minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair is established.
  • Bar displacement or rotation is a common complication requiring reoperation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of FiberWire for pectus bar stabilization.
  • To assess complication rates associated with this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 93 patients undergoing pectus repair with FiberWire stabilization (Dec 2009 - Mar 2013).
  • Analysis of operative time, complications, and follow-up data.

Main Results:

  • No wound complications reported.
  • Two patients (2.15%) experienced bar migration requiring reoperation.
  • No recurrence of pectus defect due to bar migration.

Conclusions:

  • Circumferential rib fixation with FiberWire effectively prevents bar rotation and displacement.
  • This method requires minimal changes to existing surgical procedures.
  • Early results indicate a low complication rate.
