Immediate local tissue reactions to Teflon vocal cord implants
The Laryngoscope
|August 1, 1978
Abstract:
From the beginning of the teflon injection technique for paralyzed vocal cords there has been an obvious interest in its role as a foreign body. There are a number of previous reports after varying periods of time of residence. This case report describes the tissues response of the foreign body reaction very early, 48 hours after the injection of teflon. It is consistent with early inflammatory foreign body reaction.

01:28Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes
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...

01:21Tracheostomy Decannulation
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...
