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.

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

1.4K
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...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

580
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 Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

431
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 I: Pre-procedural Steps01:16

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

409
A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.
Required Equipment
The equipment necessary for tracheostomy care includes:

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Thread rhinoplasty (TR) is debated due to frequent complications.
  • Limited data exists on the clinical presentation and management of TR complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize clinical, ultrasonographic, and histopathologic characteristics of thread rhinoplasty complications.
  • To inform treatment strategies and patient counseling regarding TR risks.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 30 patients with TR complications.
  • Data collected included demographics, complication type, ultrasonography, treatment, histopathology, and outcomes.
  • Electronic medical records were utilized for data extraction.

Main Results:

  • Infection (46.7%) was the most common complication, often linked to procedures in non-medical settings.
  • Ultrasonography revealed characteristic patterns for infection and aided in detecting residual threads.
  • Most patients underwent debridement, thread removal, or dimple release, with high satisfaction post-treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Infection is the primary TR complication, necessitating thread removal.
  • Ultrasonography is valuable for diagnosing infection and locating threads.
  • Thread rhinoplasty is not recommended for routine use due to its complications and temporary effects.
