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

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen

1.1K
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,...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

1.7K
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

622
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...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

504
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.
Required Equipment
The equipment necessary for tracheostomy care includes:

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure01:23

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

842
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

3.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Airway Management
  • Neonatal Critical Care

Background:

  • A 14-month-old male infant, born prematurely at 28 weeks and dependent on a ventilator, had a history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and tracheostomy.
  • The patient experienced worsening respiratory distress at 9 months of age after being lost to follow-up.

Observation:

  • Direct visualization of the airway revealed a mass obstructing the glottic inlet.
  • The mass appeared solid, nonvascular, and originated from a suprastomal site, with no attachments to surrounding mucosal tissues.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the suprastomal mass was performed.
  • The procedure effectively relieved the airway obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare cause of airway obstruction in a high-risk pediatric patient.
  • Successful surgical intervention led to positive patient outcomes and improved respiratory status.
