Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

14.7K
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...

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

4.5K
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,...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

4.7K
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.

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

698
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...

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask01:26

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask

2.2K
The human body requires oxygen to function, and when the natural process of respiration is hindered, external devices, including the following, are needed to help deliver this vital gas.
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

Respiratory Volumes01:15

Respiratory Volumes

3.4K
Respiratory volumes are crucial metrics, meticulously measured to quantify the air exchanged in and out of the lungs during various phases of the breathing cycle. These precise measurements are vital for assessing lung function, diagnosing respiratory conditions, and monitoring overall respiratory health. Each parameter provides specific insights into the mechanics of breathing and the functional capacity of the lungs.
Tidal Volume (TV) Tidal volume (TV) is the air inhaled or exhaled in a...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Medical Measurement

Background:

  • The nasal airway possesses complex 3D anatomy crucial for respiration and air filtration.
  • Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) presents a significant clinical challenge due to a lack of standardized measurement.
  • Current evaluation methods include subjective patient reports, physician observations, and objective measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between subjective and objective measures of nasal airway obstruction.
  • To review the evolution of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for NAO.
  • To highlight the ongoing advancements in understanding NAO pathophysiology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on NAO measurement tools.
  • Analysis of subjective (patient-derived, physician-observed) and objective assessment methods.
  • Discussion of the progress in correlating subjective and objective data.

Main Results:

  • No single "gold-standard" measurement currently exists for NAO.
  • Three primary categories of measurement tools are utilized: patient-derived, physician-observed, and objective.
  • Ongoing research focuses on bridging the gap between subjective patient experience and objective clinical findings.

Conclusions:

  • The field of NAO evaluation and surgical treatment has advanced significantly over the last 4-5 decades.
  • Continued research into the pathophysiology of nasal obstruction is expected to drive further growth in treatment strategies.
  • Establishing a definitive link between subjective and objective NAO assessments remains a key objective.
