Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane

567
Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

1.1K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

436
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

179
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

391
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • General Practice Medicine

Background:

  • Acute otitis externa (AOE) is a prevalent inflammatory condition of the outer ear.
  • AOE is particularly common in tropical climates, such as North Queensland, Australia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline key aspects of AOE, including risk factors and diagnosis.
  • To propose a streamlined management approach for AOE based on AAO-HNS guidelines.
  • To emphasize the role of primary care in managing AOE and preventing complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of AOE anatomy, risk factors, examination, and diagnostic criteria.
  • Analysis of current management strategies, including topical antibiotic use and drug delivery.
  • Identification of high-risk populations and indications for specialist referral.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive overview of AOE elements is provided.
  • Emphasis is placed on topical treatments and recognizing refractory cases.
  • Early intervention and adherence to guidelines are crucial for preventing complications.

Conclusions:

  • Primary care physicians play a vital role in the optimal management of AOE.
  • Following AAO-HNS guidelines can enhance patient care and mitigate AOE-related issues.
  • Proactive management, especially in at-risk populations, is essential for preventing severe outcomes.
