Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

419
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

6.7K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

721
Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.
Bronchodilators, the first step of respiration enhancement, come in various forms, each with its own mechanism...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

1.4K
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.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management01:20

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

855
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Allergology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) involves IgE-mediated nasal inflammation triggered by allergens.
  • Standard AR management includes allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy, and immunotherapy.
  • Surgical options are considered for patients refractory to medical treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and analyze the effectiveness of surgical interventions for allergic rhinitis.
  • To evaluate functional and symptomatic outcomes in AR patients who have failed medical management.
  • To determine the optimal surgical approach for improving patient quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic qualitative analysis of prospective and retrospective studies.
  • Inclusion of studies on inferior turbinate surgery, posterior nerve resection, vidian neurectomy, septoplasty, and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
  • Literature search of Medline, Web of Science, and Embase (1990-present), with independent data screening, appraisal, and synthesis.

Main Results:

  • Data synthesis is pending completion of the systematic review.
  • The review aims to identify which surgical methods yield the best patient outcomes.
  • Analysis will focus on functional improvements and symptom relief post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical interventions offer potential relief for refractory allergic rhinitis.
  • Further research is needed to establish the comparative effectiveness of different surgical techniques.
  • The study will provide a qualitative analysis to guide otolaryngologists in AR management.
