Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

382
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 Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

72
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Anesthesiology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Cleft palate repair is a common pediatric surgical procedure.
  • Optimizing postoperative recovery, including pain management and length of hospital stay, is crucial for patient well-being.
  • Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to standardize and improve perioperative care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in patients undergoing cleft palate repair.
  • To determine if adherence to the ERAS protocol is associated with reduced hospital length of stay and decreased narcotic consumption postoperatively.
  • To compare outcomes between patients who followed the ERAS protocol and those who did not.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study including 242 patients who underwent cleft palate repair over a 10-year period at a tertiary children's hospital.
  • Comparison of outcomes between a cohort that followed a new ERAS protocol and a historical cohort that did not.
  • Primary outcome measures included hospital length of stay and narcotic usage within the first 24 hours after surgery.

Main Results:

  • Utilization of the ERAS protocol was associated with a significant decrease in hospital length of stay (1.67 vs 2.18 days, P < 0.01).
  • Patients on the ERAS protocol showed reduced 24-hour morphine equivalent usage (6.3 MME post-implementation vs 24.53 MME prior).
  • Intraoperative use of local bupivacaine correlated with decreased 24-hour morphine equivalent usage (2.25 vs 3.38 mg MME) and shorter hospital stays (1.71 vs 2.27 days).

Conclusions:

  • The implemented Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol appears effective in reducing narcotic requirements and hospital length of stay for pediatric cleft palate repair patients.
  • The findings suggest that ERAS protocols can optimize postoperative pain management and facilitate earlier discharge.
  • Further investigation into specific ERAS components, such as local anesthetic use, may yield further improvements in surgical recovery.
