Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

219
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

593
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.

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

793
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils,...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

391
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 Steps01:26

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

795
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...

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

314
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Postoperative strain after rhinoplasty is a key concern for surgeons.
  • Minimizing ecchymosis, edema, and swelling is crucial for patient recovery.
  • Current strategies aim to reduce these common postoperative complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical drains in reducing postoperative complications following open rhinoplasty with wide degloving.
  • To assess the impact of drains on ecchymosis, edema, and swelling at specific postoperative intervals.

Main Methods:

  • Open rhinoplasty procedure with wide degloving of the soft tissue envelope.
  • Inclusion of surgical drains to remove blood and prevent infiltration.
  • Quantitative assessment of ecchymosis, edema, and swelling on days 2 and 14 post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in ecchymosis observed on postoperative days 2 and 14 (p=0.006, p=0.017).
  • Significant reduction in edema and general swelling noted on day 2 (p=0.027, p=0.004).
  • Effect on edema and swelling did not reach statistical significance on day 14.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical drains are an easily applicable, cost-effective, and reproducible method to decrease postoperative ecchymosis after open rhinoplasty with wide degloving.
  • Drains show a significant positive effect on reducing edema and swelling in the early postoperative period.
  • Further studies are needed to assess the long-term effects of drain use in rhinoplasty.
