Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

481
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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

1.3K
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.

Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

489
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

Mechanical Ventilation II: Invasive Ventilation01:23

Mechanical Ventilation II: Invasive Ventilation

384
Ventilators are essential medical equipment used to aid patients with respiratory difficulties. Their primary function is to assist or replace spontaneous breathing by providing mechanical ventilation. There are two general classes of mechanical ventilators: negative-pressure and positive-pressure ventilators.
Negative-Pressure Ventilators
Negative-pressure ventilators create a vacuum around the chest or body to draw air into the lungs, simulating breathing. This method does not require an...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure01:25

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

534
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...

Summary

Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) caused significant voice changes in patients. Acoustic analysis revealed alterations in formant frequencies and voice quality parameters post-procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Speech Science
  • Acoustic Analysis

Background:

  • Maxillary transverse deficiency affects facial structure and potentially voice.
  • Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) is a treatment for this condition.
  • The impact of SARME on voice acoustics is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate voice changes in patients undergoing SARME.
  • To compare acoustic parameters before and after SARME.
  • To evaluate differences between SARME patients and a control group.

Main Methods:

  • Nineteen adult patients with maxillary transverse deficiency were analyzed.
  • Voice recordings of specific vowel sounds were taken before SARME and after retention.
  • A control group (n=19) was used for comparison.
  • Acoustic parameters including formant frequencies (F0-F3), shimmer, jitter, and noise-to-harmonics ratio (NHR) were measured using Praat software.

Main Results:

  • SARME group showed significant differences in formant frequencies (F1, F2) for several vowels ([a], [ϵ], [œ], [y], [u]).
  • Voice quality parameters like jitter and NHR also showed significant changes for specific vowels ([ɯ], [i], [ϵ]).
  • Comparisons with the control group revealed significant differences in F0, F1, F2, shimmer, jitter, and NHR for various vowels.

Conclusions:

  • SARME significantly alters acoustic voice parameters.
  • These changes affect both vocal tract resonance (formants) and voice quality.
  • Further research may explore the clinical implications of these voice alterations.
