Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention01:30

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

2.3K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding01:26

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

418
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow01:24

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

716
The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

140
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

1.0K
Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

3.7K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Patient Adherence

Background:

  • Dysphagia is a common complication in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with radiotherapy, significantly impacting quality of life.
  • Swallowing exercises are the primary rehabilitation strategy, but long-term patient compliance remains a challenge, with adherence rates around 40%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze factors influencing swallowing exercise compliance in HNC patients.
  • To explain current strategies for improving rehabilitation outcomes in HNC patients with dysphagia.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of 21 articles published between 2005 and 2022.
  • Literature search conducted across seven major scientific databases.

Main Results:

  • Swallowing exercise compliance in HNC patients is influenced by socio-demographic, illness-associated, treatment-associated, and psychosocial factors.
  • Current intervention strategies primarily focus on addressing psychosocial factors through educational programs.

Conclusions:

  • Recognizing the multifaceted factors affecting compliance is essential for effective dysphagia management in HNC.
  • Future interventions should consider multidisciplinary teams, innovative equipment, refined procedures, and systematic theoretical frameworks to enhance compliance and rehabilitation outcomes.
