Larynx01:21

Larynx

2.5K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

1.5K
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 Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

469
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...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure01:25

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

518
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques01:30

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

153
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...

Esophageal Varices-I: Introduction01:24

Esophageal Varices-I: Introduction

429
Esophageal varices are dilated, tortuous veins which are found mainly in the submucosa of the lower esophagus but which may also appear higher up or extend into the stomach. They develop due to increased pressure in the portal venous system, often as a result of liver cirrhosis. This condition scars and damages the liver, impeding normal blood flow through the portal vein. To compensate, blood seeks alternative pathways, forming fragile new vessels (varices) in the esophagus and stomach. These...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Total laryngectomy is a critical treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer, significantly altering patients' lives.
  • Post-surgery challenges include communication, breathing, and aesthetic changes, impacting overall quality of life.
  • Comprehensive rehabilitation, particularly speech therapy, is vital for patient recovery and well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt existing laryngectomee club support services for patients undergoing total laryngectomy.
  • To address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic to regular patient follow-up and rehabilitation.
  • To implement and evaluate the feasibility of virtual support meetings for laryngectomee patients.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging video conferencing technology to conduct virtual meetings for the laryngectomee club.
  • Maintaining regular follow-up and peer support through online platforms.
  • Facilitating continued speech rehabilitation and quality of life discussions remotely.

Main Results:

  • Successfully conducted the first virtual meeting for laryngectomee club members.
