Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

208
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...

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure01:15

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure

310
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

218
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management01:17

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management

295
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

62
A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.
Required Equipment
The equipment necessary for tracheostomy care includes:

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Airway foreign body aspiration is a significant risk in children aged 0-3 years due to developmental factors.
  • Despite advancements, diagnosing foreign body aspiration can be challenging without a witnessed event.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of subglottic foreign body aspiration in a pediatric patient.
  • To highlight the critical role of prompt diagnosis and intervention in managing such cases.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a 16-month-old child who aspirated a pork bone.
  • Management involved emergency bronchoscopy and tracheostomy for foreign body removal from the subglottic region.

Main Results:

  • Successful removal of the subglottic foreign body using a pediatric bronchoscope.
  • The patient required tracheostomy, indicating the severity of the obstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Subglottic foreign bodies, while rare, present substantial risks and require immediate management.
  • Effective team coordination, proper training, and prompt intervention are vital for successful outcomes and complication prevention.
