Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure01:15

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure

5.9K
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

979
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

380
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

602
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

1.3K
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is a prevalent condition posing treatment challenges for otolaryngologists.
  • Chronic ET dysfunction necessitates effective therapeutic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of transnasal endoscopic balloon dilatation for treating chronic ET dysfunction.
  • To assess the safety and feasibility of this minimally invasive approach.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective observational study involving 21 patients diagnosed with ET dysfunction.
  • Transnasal endoscopic balloon dilatation of the cartilaginous Eustachian tube.
  • Preoperative CT scans and post-procedure assessments at 1, 2, and 8 weeks.

Main Results:

  • The balloon dilatation procedure was successfully performed in all patients.
  • Significant improvement in ET function was observed in 19 out of 21 cases.
  • No damage to vital structures, including the internal carotid artery, was reported.

Conclusions:

  • Transnasal endoscopic balloon dilatation is a feasible and safe procedure for Eustachian tube dysfunction.
  • The majority of patients experienced positive outcomes, indicating a promising treatment option.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the long-term benefits and applications.
