Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

706
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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

2.6K
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.

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

367
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction

546
Esophageal strictures involve abnormal narrowing or tightening of the esophagus. They vary in length and severity, ranging from mild constriction to complete obstruction, and are classified as benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:28

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

428
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.

Larynx01:21

Larynx

3.9K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical research trends
  • Speech and language pathology
  • Surgical innovation

Background:

  • Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a condition affecting speech, often requiring multidisciplinary management.
  • Understanding publication trends provides insight into research focus and clinical practice evolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the publishing trends of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) research over 33 years.
  • To examine trends in treating specialties, assessment methods, diagnoses, and treatment modalities.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive PubMed search was conducted for "velopharyngeal insufficiency" from 1985 to 2017.
  • Publication data were analyzed by specialty, assessment method, diagnosis, and treatment, with statistical comparison over time.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in VPI publications was observed, rising from 6 in 1985 to 67 in 2015.
  • Otolaryngology, Plastic Surgery, and Multidisciplinary fields showed the largest publication increases.
  • Endoscopic evaluations and surgical treatments (pharyngoplasty, palatoplasty, pharyngeal flap) significantly increased in frequency.

Conclusions:

  • Current VPI research highlights a shift towards endoscopic diagnostics and a multidisciplinary approach.
  • Otolaryngology has emerged as a leading specialty in VPI research.
  • Surgical interventions are increasingly featured in VPI literature compared to conservative treatments.
