Sleep Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

320
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.
The condition is more prevalent among...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece01:23

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

3.7K
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

317
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...

Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

633
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...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sleep Medicine

Background:

  • Alar collapse can worsen snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
  • Existing treatments include surgery, implants, and commercial nasal dilators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and test a custom, low-cost, malleable wire nasal prosthesis for improving nasal patency.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient acceptance of this novel nasal dilator.

Main Methods:

  • Computer modeling and animation were used to design a custom nasal prosthesis.
  • The prosthesis was tested in 20 normal subjects using a visual analog scale.
  • Correlation between nasal patency improvement and patient profiles was analyzed.

Main Results:

  • All subjects reported significant improvement in nasal patency (30%-99%).
  • No correlation was found between improvement levels and patient variables.
  • The results suggest greater efficacy in patients with true alar collapse.

Conclusions:

  • The nasal prosthesis is low-cost, non-traumatic, adjustable, and customizable.
  • Potential drawbacks include cosmetic unacceptability for daytime use and in young children.
  • Custom design is crucial for acceptance; effective for snoring, sleep quality, and oxygenation in alar collapse.
