Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

610
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

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 Care II: Procedure

510
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...

Endotracheal Tube Extubation01:24

Endotracheal Tube Extubation

1.8K
Endotracheal tube extubation is a critical procedure in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. It involves physically removing the oral or nasal endotracheal (ET) tube, marking the final step in liberating a patient from ventilatory support.
Procedure
Extubation removes the endotracheal tube (ETT) from the patient on mechanical ventilation. It requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals....

Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

463
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...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Laryngeal Surgery
  • Voice Disorders

Background:

  • Thyroplasty is a surgical procedure to treat voice disorders.
  • Complications of thyroplasty are not extensively documented.
  • Arytenoid edema is an uncommon post-operative finding.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old female presented with severe arytenoid edema one day after thyroplasty.
  • The patient experienced significant post-operative swelling affecting the arytenoid cartilages.
  • This complication was not previously well-described in medical literature.

Findings:

  • Early diagnosis of arytenoid edema is crucial for prompt management.
  • A 6-day course of methylprednisone combined with voice rest was administered.
  • Complete resolution of arytenoid edema was achieved within one week of treatment.

Implications:

  • This case highlights methylprednisone as an effective treatment for arytenoid edema post-thyroplasty.
  • It suggests that prompt medical intervention can lead to rapid recovery.
  • Further research may be warranted to understand the incidence and optimal management of this complication.
