Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Hand hygiene

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

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 Suctioning II: Procedure

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Area of Science:

Endodontic Therapy
Dental Materials Science

Background:

Root canal debridement uses chemical and mechanical methods to remove tissue and bacteria.
Sodium hypochlorite is a key irrigant for disinfection, while chelating agents address the smear layer.
Effective irrigation is crucial for canal cleanliness and medicament penetration before obturation.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current irrigating solutions and irrigant activation devices in endodontics.
To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various endodontic irrigants.
To highlight the importance of irrigant-canal wall interaction, especially in apical regions.

Main Methods:

Literature review of existing studies on endodontic irrigants.
Analysis of in vivo and in vitro research on irrigant efficacy.
Evaluation of irrigant activation devices and their role in root canal cleaning.

Main Results:

Sodium hypochlorite effectively disinfects, but smear layer removal can be limited in the apical third.
Irritant activation devices enhance solution contact with canal walls, particularly in narrow canals.
The choice and activation of irrigants significantly impact endodontic treatment outcomes.

Conclusions:

Optimizing irrigant selection and activation is vital for successful endodontic therapy.
Further research into novel irrigants and activation technologies is warranted.
Ensuring thorough canal cleanliness is paramount for predictable clinical results.
