Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

16.8K
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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

6.4K
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.

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

6.0K
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils,...

Application of Integration: Problem Solving

226
The process of breathing involves the periodic intake and expulsion of air, known as the respiratory cycle, which typically lasts about five seconds. Modeling the volume of air inhaled into the lungs as a function of time provides insight into both the dynamics and efficiency of pulmonary ventilation. This volume is determined by integrating the airflow rate over time, which captures the cumulative effect of air entering the lungs.Sinusoidal Model of AirflowAirflow during respiration is not...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging and Computational Modeling
  • Surgical Planning and Outcomes Research
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics in Medicine

Background:

  • High surgical failure rates for nasal airway obstruction (NAO) necessitate improved diagnostic and planning tools.
  • Current surgical planning for NAO may not fully account for post-operative anatomical changes.
  • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) offers a potential avenue for simulating airflow and predicting outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of computer models based on surgeon-edited presurgery scans in predicting postoperative outcomes.
  • To compare CFD model predictions using "transcribed-surgery" models with actual postsurgery scan models.
  • To assess the potential of virtual surgical modifications for improving NAO surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 10 patients with NAO at an academic medical center.
  • Reconstruction of 3D nasal models from CT scans (presurgery and 5-8 months postsurgery).
  • Creation of "transcribed-surgery" models by digitally modifying presurgery scans to reflect expected surgical changes; simulation of inspiratory airflow using CFD.

Main Results:

  • Transcribed-surgery and postsurgery models showed statistically significant differences from presurgery models.
  • No significant difference in unilateral nasal resistance and airflow between transcribed-surgery and postsurgery models.
  • Bilateral resistance was significantly different; prediction errors for bilateral resistance were within 10%-30% and unilateral resistance within 30%.

Conclusions:

  • Computational models incorporating virtual surgical modifications show potential for predicting postoperative NAO outcomes.
  • Current limitations in software for translating virtual surgery steps and accounting for healing factors hinder predictive accuracy.
  • Further development of virtual surgical tools is required to enhance the precision of CFD-based surgical planning for NAO.
