Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition01:27

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

144
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure01:23

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

222
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

390
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: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

252
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...

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen01:16

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen

537
Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

206
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...

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pain Management
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • Continuous peripheral nerve block catheters involve percutaneous insertion near a nerve for local anesthetic infusion.
  • This technique allows for titration to effect, providing extended anesthesia or analgesia during the perioperative period.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the reported benefits of using peripheral nerve catheters in surgical patients.
  • To highlight the efficacy of continuous peripheral nerve blocks in enhancing perioperative care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of reported outcomes associated with peripheral nerve catheter use in surgical populations.
  • Analysis of benefits including pain scores, medication usage, and patient-reported outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Peripheral nerve catheters are associated with improved pain scores.
  • Significant decreases in narcotic use, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and sedation were reported.
  • Improvements in patient sleep and overall satisfaction were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Continuous peripheral nerve block catheters are a valuable tool in perioperative pain management.
  • The use of these catheters leads to a comprehensive improvement in patient experience and recovery.
  • Peripheral nerve blocks offer a multimodal approach to anesthesia and analgesia, enhancing surgical patient care.
