Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques01:30

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

226
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

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.

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

6.7K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

342
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

514
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...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure01:25

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

738
Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
  • Rhinology
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual care across medical specialties.
  • Otolaryngology, particularly rhinology, faces unique challenges due to its reliance on physical examinations and procedures like nasal endoscopy.
  • Virtual care is expected to remain a component of healthcare delivery, necessitating an evaluation of its role in rhinology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the perceived strengths and weaknesses of virtual care in rhinology compared to in-person consultations.
  • To identify suitable patient populations and appointment types for virtual rhinology visits.
  • To understand the preferred platforms and limitations of telemedicine in this specialty.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 61 Canadian rhinologists regarding their experiences with virtual care.
  • The survey focused on comparing virtual versus in-person care for different aspects of a typical appointment.
  • Inquiries included platforms used and patient suitability for virtual assessments.

Main Results:

  • A 70.5% response rate was achieved with 43 participating rhinologists.
  • Telephone emerged as the primary platform for virtual care delivery.
  • History taking and results review were considered equivalent to in-person care, while physical exams and nasal endoscopy were significant limitations.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual care in rhinology offers benefits for specific aspects like history taking and follow-up of non-urgent cases.
  • The inability to perform physical examinations and nasal endoscopy presents a considerable challenge for virtual rhinology consultations.
  • These findings highlight the need for rhinologists to understand the specific strengths and limitations of virtual care to optimize its integration into practice.
