Summary
An online video training improved nurses' knowledge and confidence in managing postoperative neck hemorrhage (PNH) and hematoma, crucial for patient safety after head and neck surgery.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Complications
- Nursing Practice
Background:
- Postoperative neck hemorrhage (PNH) and hematoma formation are serious complications of head and neck surgery.
- These complications can lead to critical airway narrowing, necessitating rapid medical response.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an online training video in enhancing nurses' understanding and management of PNH.
- To improve nurses' confidence in responding to PNH based on consensus guidelines.
Main Methods:
- A prospective study involving 101 nurses across seven hospitals.
- Nurses' knowledge and confidence were assessed before and after watching an online training video on PNH management.
Main Results:
- The video improved nurses' understanding of PNH causes and management, clarifying the limited role of oxygen saturation in early detection.
- Nurses learned that hematoma removal is critical, not airway suction, and their confidence significantly increased post-training.
Conclusions:
- The online training video effectively conveyed key PNH management principles from the consensus statement.
- The intervention successfully boosted nurses' confidence and preparedness in managing PNH events.

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
