Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

352
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 I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

88
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

170
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

185
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

197
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...

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

116
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Summary

Blind adenoid curettage often leaves remnants and causes injury. Transnasal endoscopy after adenoidectomy reveals significant adenoid remnants in 42% of cases and surgical site injuries in 46%, highlighting the need for improved surgical techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Adenoidectomy is a common pediatric surgical procedure.
  • Traditional blind curettage may lead to incomplete adenoid removal and surrounding tissue damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the nasopharynx using transnasal endoscopy after conventional curettage adenoidectomy.
  • To identify adenoid remnants, surgical site injuries, and bleeding points.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 100 children undergoing conventional curettage adenoidectomy by trainees.
  • Post-operative nasopharyngeal assessment via 0° transnasal endoscopy.

Main Results:

  • Adenoid remnants found in 42% of cases (e.g., nasopharyngeal roof, tubal tonsil).
  • Surgical site injury observed in 46% of cases (e.g., pharyngeal walls, Passavant ridge).
  • Endoscopic bleeding noted in 29% of cases, varying in severity.

Conclusions:

  • Transnasal endoscopic evaluation is crucial for assessing outcomes after adenoidectomy.
  • This method provides vital data on adenoid remnants and surgical complications.
  • Findings can guide improvements in surgical technique for better patient outcomes.
