Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

9.4K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

2.3K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Coblation® intracapsular tonsillectomy shows promise for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)/obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
  • Evidence for its efficacy in treating tonsillitis as the primary indication is less clear.
  • This study evaluates initial results for pediatric tonsillectomy using Coblation® for infective indications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and effectiveness of Coblation® intracapsular tonsillectomy in pediatric patients with tonsillitis.
  • To evaluate symptom improvement using the T14 tonsil symptom questionnaire.
  • To document postoperative complications.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective case series of 80 pediatric patients (ages 2-16) from January 2016 to July 2018.
  • Utilized the validated T14 tonsil symptom questionnaire pre- and postoperatively.
  • Collected data on postoperative complications, including hemorrhage and readmission.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in overall T14 scores (32.7 to 2.7, p < 0.0001), infective scores (22.1 to 1.5, p < 0.0001), and SDB scores (10.6 to 1.5, p < 0.0001).
  • Mean follow-up was 13 months.
  • No cases of hemorrhage, re-admission, or tonsil regrowth were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Coblation® intracapsular tonsillectomy is a safe and effective treatment for pediatric recurrent tonsillitis.
  • The procedure demonstrates significant symptom improvement and a low complication rate.
  • Further long-term follow-up studies are recommended.
