Trachea01:22

Trachea

2.0K
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of...

Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

152
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

528
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

67
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Subglottic stenosis is a rare disorder affecting airway patency, potentially causing life-threatening respiratory insufficiency.
  • It can be congenital or acquired, frequently resulting from iatrogenic damage during invasive airway management like intubation or tracheotomy.
  • Prolonged intubation is a common cause of acquired subglottic stenosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the experiences of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at Zagreb University Hospital Center.
  • To analyze the treatment outcomes for patients with subglottic stenosis over a ten-year period.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of medical histories for 29 patients meeting inclusion criteria.
  • Minimum two-year follow-up monitoring after treatment completion for all patients.

Main Results:

  • Out of 29 treated patients, 20 were successfully and permanently decannulated.
  • Four patients experienced vocal cord paresis following treatment.
  • No definitive treatment protocol currently exists for subglottic stenosis.

Conclusions:

  • The optimal treatment for subglottic stenosis involves a combined endoscopic and open surgical approach.
  • Further research may be needed to establish clear treatment guidelines.
