Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

184
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

488
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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Three-dimensional (3D)-printed nasal splints significantly reduce swelling after rhinoplasty compared to traditional taping. These customized splints offer an effective alternative for managing postoperative edema, with results most noticeable at six months and one year.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Development

Background:

  • Post-rhinoplasty swelling can obscure surgical outcomes and cause patient/surgeon distress.
  • Three-dimensional (3D)-printed nasal splints were developed to mitigate edema via gentle compression.
  • This study evaluates the efficacy of 3D-printed splints against traditional nasal taping for controlling postoperative swelling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of 3D-printed nasal splints versus traditional taping in reducing postoperative nasal edema after rhinoplasty.
  • To quantify the reduction in nasal volume and edema over time in both treatment groups.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, randomized study involving patients undergoing primary rhinoplasty.
  • Patients were assigned to either traditional nasal taping (steri-strips) or 3D-printed splinting for 12 weeks.
  • Nasal volume changes (total nose, dorsum, tip) were measured to assess edema reduction.

Main Results:

  • Nasal taping resulted in volume reductions of 4.8% at 2 weeks to 10.6% at 1 year.
  • 3D-printed splints showed volume reductions from 5.0% at 2 weeks to 15.1% at 1 year.
  • 3D splints demonstrated significantly less overall nasal edema at 6 months and 1 year (P ≤ 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Customized 3D-printed nasal splints significantly reduce postoperative edema following rhinoplasty.
  • The reduction in swelling is most pronounced at the 6-month and 1-year follow-up points.
  • 3D-printed splints represent a promising clinical alternative to traditional taping for managing post-rhinoplasty swelling.
