Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

507
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 Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

236
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:

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

240
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...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

257
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...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

2.8K
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:

  • Laryngology and Phoniatrics
  • Qualitative Health Research
  • Patient Experience and Quality of Life

Background:

  • Voice rest is a common post-phonomicrosurgery recommendation to prevent vocal fold scarring.
  • Low patient compliance with voice rest is often linked to diminished quality of life (QoL).
  • Understanding patient experiences can identify factors influencing voice rest adherence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore patient experiences with voice rest following phonomicrosurgery.
  • To identify facilitators and barriers impacting voice rest compliance.
  • To inform strategies for optimizing the voice rest experience.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing prospective, typical case purposive sampling.
  • Semi-structured virtual interviews conducted with 16 patients 4 weeks post-surgery.
  • Thematic analysis of verbatim interview transcripts to identify key themes.

Main Results:

  • Most participants (16/20) reported minimal negative impact of voice rest on QoL.
  • Facilitators included proactive communication with contacts and use of nonverbal communication.
  • Understanding the rationale for voice rest and consequences of noncompliance enhanced adherence.

Conclusions:

  • Patients generally tolerated voice rest well, supported by preparation and understanding.
  • Social disconnect and work demands emerged as significant barriers.
  • Addressing identified facilitators and barriers is crucial for improving future patient outcomes.
