Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

3.6K
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.

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

999
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

702
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

598
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...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles01:30

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

1.7K
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
Introduction
The initial evaluation of a patient's respiratory system...

Schemas01:42

Schemas

12.4K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Interventional Bronchoscopy
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Malignant airway obstruction significantly impairs quality of life.
  • Therapeutic bronchoscopy offers a minimally invasive approach to airway management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the latest evidence on stent use for malignant airway obstruction.
  • To guide patient selection and highlight potential complications of airway stenting.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of current literature on airway stenting.
  • Analysis of patient factors influencing stent outcomes.
  • Evaluation of early and late stent-related complications.

Main Results:

  • Stenting restores airway patency in up to 93% of patients.
  • Optimal candidates have severe dyspnea, high ASA scores, and central obstruction.
  • Late complications, including infection, are significant and impact survival.

Conclusions:

  • Airway stents are valuable but require judicious use based on patient selection.
  • Emerging technologies like 3D-printed and drug-eluting stents promise improved outcomes.
