Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

1.2K
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.

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

286
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

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...

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

1.2K
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils,...

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

5.4K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

446
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...

Summary

Pediatric septoplasty is safe for children under 14, with no increased complication rates compared to older patients. While younger children may need revision surgery more often, nasal surgery does not disrupt growth centers.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Nasal septoplasty in children historically avoided due to growth center concerns.
  • Limited data exists on pediatric septoplasty complications and revision rates.
  • This study addresses the paucity of evidence regarding long-term outcomes in pediatric septoplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review long-term outcomes of pediatric nasal septoplasty.
  • To compare outcomes between pediatric patients under 14 and those 14 and older.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of septoplasty in young children.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 194 pediatric patients (0-18 years) undergoing septoplasty.
  • Comparison of outcomes between patients <14 years and those ≥14 years.
  • Data collected on demographics, surgery, complications, and revision rates.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in complication rates between younger (<14) and older (≥14) pediatric septoplasty patients.
  • Revision septoplasty was more frequent in the younger pediatric group.
  • Mean age was 10.6 years for the younger group and 15.9 years for the older group.

Conclusions:

  • This is the largest retrospective study on pediatric septoplasty outcomes.
  • Evidence supports the use of nasal septoplasty in very young pediatric patients.
  • Further research is needed to validate septoplasty in the pediatric population.
