Sleep Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

288
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

265
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...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

1.3K
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
Introduction
The initial evaluation of a patient's respiratory system...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

524
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...

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen01:16

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen

1.2K
Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

1.7K
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.

Summary

A soft cervical collar showed good tolerance in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings in sleep apnea treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common condition characterized by repeated upper airway collapse during sleep.
  • Severe OSA requires effective treatment to mitigate associated health risks.
  • Cervical collars are being explored as a potential non-invasive intervention for OSA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the tolerability and preliminary efficacy of a soft cervical collar in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea.
  • To assess the impact of the cervical collar on sleep parameters measured by polygraphy.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 10 patients diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnoea.
  • Patients wore a soft cervical collar during overnight polygraphy.
  • Sleep parameters including apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The soft cervical collar was well tolerated by all 10 patients during overnight use.
  • No significant changes in polygraphy results, including AHI, were observed with collar use.
  • Statistical power calculations suggest a need for 246 participants in a randomized controlled trial for conclusive results.

Conclusions:

  • A soft cervical collar is a well-tolerated intervention for severe obstructive sleep apnoea.
  • Preliminary data suggest no significant impact on sleep study parameters, warranting further investigation.
  • Larger, randomized controlled trials are essential to determine the definitive efficacy of cervical collars in OSA management.
