Trachea01:22

Trachea

1.7K
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

452
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...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

178
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...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

136
Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask...

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure01:15

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure

907
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...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps01:16

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

144
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:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroid cancer can invade the trachea, presenting significant surgical challenges.
  • Surgical management of tracheal invasion requires specialized techniques and careful planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the experience of tracheal resection and reconstruction in eight patients with thyroid cancer.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of this complex surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained thyroid cancer database.
  • Case series of eight patients undergoing tracheal resection and reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Eight patients (5 male, 3 female; median age 51) underwent the procedure for thyroid cancer with tracheal invasion.
  • Seven patients had papillary thyroid carcinoma, one had medullary thyroid carcinoma.
  • All patients achieved negative margins; one mortality occurred due to carotid blowout. Six patients remained disease-free at a median 24-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Tracheal resection and reconstruction is a viable surgical option for selected thyroid cancer patients with tracheal invasion.
  • A multidisciplinary approach and technical expertise are crucial for minimizing complications and optimizing survival.
  • Favorable outcomes can be achieved with this complex intervention.
