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.

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

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 Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

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...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding II: Palpation and Auscultation

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding II: Palpation and Auscultation

In assessing respiratory abnormalities, palpation and auscultation are critical tools for detecting and interpreting various pathophysiological changes. These techniques provide insight into underlying disorders by evaluating tactile sensations and sounds produced by the respiratory system.
Palpation Findings
During a respiratory assessment, palpation can reveal several vital abnormalities:

Fellowship Interviews

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to virtual interviews for Pediatric Otolaryngology fellowship programs in March 2020.
This transition impacted the traditional interview process for both applicants and program directors.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate and compare applicant and program director perceptions of virtual versus in-person interviews in Pediatric Otolaryngology fellowship.
To understand the evolving views on interview modalities over two application cycles.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional study design was employed, surveying fellowship applicants and program directors.
Data was collected from participants in the San Francisco Match for Pediatric Otolaryngology fellowship in 2020 and 2021.

Main Results:

Applicant perception of virtual interviews improved, with a majority preferring them as an option by 2021.
While most applicants (75%) felt virtual interviews didn't alter program rankings, 70% initially felt the experience was less comprehensive.
Program directors' preference for in-person interviews persisted, yet a growing number saw virtual interviews as a means to increase applicant numbers.

Conclusions:

Initial perceptions of virtual interviews were less favorable among both applicants and program directors compared to in-person.
Applicant preference shifted towards virtual interviews by the second year of the study.
Program directors maintained a preference for in-person interviews but acknowledged potential benefits of virtual formats for applicant reach.
