Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

2.3K
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

4.5K
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

742
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Endotracheal Tube Extubation01:24

Endotracheal Tube Extubation

5.5K
Endotracheal tube extubation is a critical procedure in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. It involves physically removing the oral or nasal endotracheal (ET) tube, marking the final step in liberating a patient from ventilatory support.
Procedure
Extubation removes the endotracheal tube (ETT) from the patient on mechanical ventilation. It requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals....

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

7.6K
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

2.2K
Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Interventional Pulmonology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Malignant airway obstruction is an increasing complication due to rising cancer incidence and improved life expectancy.
  • Minimal invasive treatments, such as airway stents, offer meaningful palliation for patients.
  • A new, removable airway stent is presented for improved, individualized treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a novel knitted, uncovered, self-expanding metal airway stent that can be unraveled and removed.
  • To demonstrate the 'proof-of-principle' for a removable airway stent in an in vivo model.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilized an in vivo model with two anesthetized, spontaneously breathing pigs.
  • Flexible bronchoscopy was used to deploy and subsequently remove the self-expanding metal stents.
  • Procedures were performed in both acute and chronic settings to assess stent performance and removal.

Main Results:

  • The novel airway stent was successfully deployed accurately in the central airways and remained securely in place.
  • Complete removal of the stent by unraveling was achieved without clinically significant complications.
  • While granulation tissue was induced in the chronic setting, it resolved spontaneously after stent removal.

Conclusions:

  • The removable airway stent demonstrated successful deployment and easy, complete removal without significant technical or medical issues.
  • Induced granulation tissue resolved spontaneously post-removal, indicating a favorable tissue response.
  • Further animal and human studies are warranted to establish optimal indications and future applications for this innovative stent.
