Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

273
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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

1.1K
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.

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

385
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

5.6K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Decongestants01:27

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Decongestants

410
Decongestants are a class of medications used primarily to alleviate nasal congestion, a common symptom resulting from allergies, colds, sinusitis, and other upper respiratory tract infections. These drugs work by activating α-adrenergic receptors, constricting small blood vessels in the nasal membranes. This action results in the opening of clogged nasal passages, thereby facilitating sinus drainage and relieving congestion.
Most decongestants are readily available over-the-counter in...

Background:

  • The Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly impacted healthcare delivery globally.
  • Disruptions affected standard patient care workflows across various medical disciplines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline adaptations and considerations for rhinology and endoscopic skull base surgery in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To provide guidance for managing patient care during and after the pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical guidelines related to COVID-19 and surgical practices.
  • Analysis of potential changes in patient assessment, surgical procedures, and post-operative care.
  • Discussion of safety protocols and resource management within the subspecialty.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key areas requiring modification, including patient screening, operating room protocols, and follow-up care.
  • Highlighting the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE) and infection control measures.
  • Emphasis on telemedicine and remote patient monitoring where appropriate.

Conclusions:

  • Adaptations are crucial for maintaining safe and effective rhinology and endoscopic skull base surgery during the COVID-19 era.
  • Proactive planning and implementation of new protocols are essential for healthcare providers in this subspecialty.
  • The pandemic necessitates a re-evaluation of standard practices to ensure patient and staff safety.
