Summary
Pediatric sialendoscopy is a highly successful treatment for obstructive sialoadenitis in Asian children. This minimally invasive procedure shows high remission rates, making it an ideal management option for these salivary gland disorders.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Sialendoscopy is a successful treatment for pediatric salivary gland disorders.
- Limited data exists on its use in Asian pediatric populations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the preliminary experience of pediatric sialendoscopy in an Asian institution.
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sialendoscopy for obstructive sialoadenitis in children.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 20 pediatric patients (<18 years) undergoing sialendoscopy.
- Data collected between October 2013 and November 2015 for obstructive sialoadenitis.
Main Results:
- 60% sialolithiasis, 40% non-lithiasis obstructive sialoadenitis.
- Ductal stenosis in 13 patients, mucous plugs in 18.
- 95% overall success rate, 85% complete remission after one procedure.
Conclusions:
- Sialendoscopy is an effective treatment for obstructive sialoadenitis in Asian pediatric patients.
- Holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy and sialostent placement are safe adjuncts if needed.

1.8K
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

1.6K
Description
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...

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...
