Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

815
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...

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

17.3K
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 Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

6.2K
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.

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

14.8K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

5.7K
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,...

Pyloric Obstruction01:11

Pyloric Obstruction

19
Pyloric obstruction, also referred to as gastric outlet obstruction, is a condition characterized by narrowing or blockage at the pylorus—the muscular valve regulating the flow of stomach contents into the duodenum. When this passage becomes impaired, the stomach cannot effectively empty its contents into the small intestine. This disruption leads to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including early satiety, bloating, epigastric pain, postprandial nausea, persistent vomiting, and...

Summary

Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a rare complication of turbinate surgery, causing paradoxical obstruction and dryness. Prevention through turbinate-sparing techniques is crucial for avoiding this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a rare but debilitating complication following turbinate surgery.
  • Key symptoms include paradoxical nasal obstruction, dryness, crusting, and dyspnea.
  • The exact pathogenesis remains unclear, but anatomical and neurosensory disruptions are suspected.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of empty nose syndrome.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding ENS for otolaryngologists and surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical review of empty nose syndrome.
  • Discussion of diagnostic challenges and therapeutic options.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis is primarily clinical, often complicated by poor subjective-objective correlation.
  • Medical management focuses on humidification, irrigation, and emollients.
  • Surgical options for refractory cases include turbinate reconstruction with biomaterials.

Conclusions:

  • Empty nose syndrome presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Preventive strategies, emphasizing turbinate-sparing surgical techniques, are paramount.
