Acute Respiratory Failure-V01:29

Acute Respiratory Failure-V

239
The treatment for acute respiratory failure varies based on factors like the underlying cause, overall health, and severity. A collaborative healthcare team is essential for early detection, often through arterial blood gas analysis. Identifying the cause is the primary goal, with treatment strategies adjusted for ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, shunting, or diffusion impairment.
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...

Breathing01:05

Breathing

61.0K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications

1.3K
Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

200
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...

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:17

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

712
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...

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure01:15

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure

4.0K
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pediatric Pulmonology

Background:

  • Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common condition in preterm infants.
  • Less-invasive surfactant administration (LISA) is a technique for delivering surfactant to manage RDS.
  • LISA has shown potential to reduce mortality and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop consensus-based recommendations for implementing LISA in UK neonatal units.
  • To establish guidelines for the safe and effective delivery of surfactant via LISA.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was performed up to April 2021.
  • A modified Delphi process involving 9 UK neonatal specialists was used.
  • Parental feedback was incorporated via an online questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Successful LISA implementation requires multidisciplinary team training and adherence to local protocols.
  • The procedure should ideally be completed within 30 minutes.
  • Sedation/analgesia may be considered, and parental involvement in discussions is crucial.

Conclusions:

  • LISA is a safe and effective method for treating preterm infants with RDS.
  • Appropriate training and established guidance are key to successful LISA implementation in UK neonatal care.
