Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

2.3K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

4.1K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

586
A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

305
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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

1.8K
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:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems globally.
  • Head and neck cancer surgeries are complex procedures requiring specialized teams and resources.
  • Maintaining surgical services for cancer patients during a pandemic is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the surgical experience of the Indian Institute of Head and Neck Oncology (IIHNO) during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To document the approaches and strategies adopted by the IIHNO surgical team.
  • To analyze the range of head and neck cancer procedures performed under pandemic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 32 head and neck cancer surgeries performed between May 2020 and December 2020.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, surgical procedures, and operative durations.
  • Analysis of surgical approaches and adaptations made due to the pandemic.

Main Results:

  • A total of 32 patients underwent surgery for various head and neck cancers, including tongue, oral mucosa/cheek, paranasal, and thyroid cancers.
  • Average surgical procedure duration was approximately 3 hours.
  • The IIHNO team successfully navigated pandemic-related challenges to provide essential surgical care.

Conclusions:

  • The IIHNO demonstrated resilience and adaptability in managing head and neck cancer surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The experience highlights the importance of robust protocols and dedicated teams in maintaining cancer care during public health crises.
  • Continued surgical intervention for head and neck cancers is feasible and essential, even amidst global health emergencies.
