Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

1.0K
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...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

356
Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask...

Endotracheal Tube Extubation01:24

Endotracheal Tube Extubation

1.3K
Endotracheal tube extubation is a critical procedure in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. It involves physically removing the oral or nasal endotracheal (ET) tube, marking the final step in liberating a patient from ventilatory support.
Procedure
Extubation removes the endotracheal tube (ETT) from the patient on mechanical ventilation. It requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals....

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

926
Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.
Equipment Required
First, gather all necessary equipment: a sterile suction catheter, a sterile disposable container, sterile gloves, a towel or...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

362
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:

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

2.1K
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Tube thoracostomy is a critical, high-risk procedure for emergency medicine residents.
  • Mastery learning through simulation is the established standard for training in complex procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a simulation-based mastery learning course for tube thoracostomy.
  • To assess the impact of the course on residents' procedural skills and confidence.

Main Methods:

  • A course was designed including precourse work, baseline assessment, anatomy review, deliberate practice, and final assessment.
  • Residents received additional coaching and practice if they did not meet the minimum passing score.
  • The TUBE-iCOMPT checklist was used for skill assessment.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-one PGY 2 residents were trained, showing a significant increase in TUBE-iCOMPT scores (p < .001).
  • Learner confidence in chest tube placement significantly improved (p < .001).
  • The course was well-received by participants.

Conclusions:

  • Simulation-based mastery learning is effective for teaching tube thoracostomy.
  • The course enhances both procedural skills and self-reported confidence in emergency medicine residents.
  • This training model can be applied to other high-risk procedures.
