Insights

Nasal septal hematoma requires prompt surgical drainage. A novel technique using a tubular nasal pack and endotracheal tube in an infant prevented airway obstruction and cyanosis post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Nasal septal hematoma, a blood collection within the nasal septum, necessitates urgent surgical intervention to avert complications.
  • Postoperative nasal packing is standard to prevent recurrence but causes significant discomfort, particularly in infants who are obligatory nose breathers.
  • Infants may experience cyanosis due to airway obstruction from nasal packing.

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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...
