Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

1.2K
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...

Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

384
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

Trachea

2.7K
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...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

2.3K
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...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

380
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.

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...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Endotracheal intubation is crucial for inhalation anesthesia during surgery.
  • Accidental extubation with an inflated cuff caused tracheal rupture, leading to emphysema in dogs.
  • This study addresses the need for effective treatment of such tracheal injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel nitinol endotracheal stent in treating thoracic tracheal rupture and associated emphysema in dogs.
  • To assess the biocompatibility and stability of the nitinol stent in the canine trachea.

Main Methods:

  • A custom-made, double-wire woven nitinol stent was created using a cross-and-hook knitting method.
  • The stent, sized 2-3 mm larger than the ruptured trachea, was implanted.
  • Clinical signs, respiratory patterns, imaging (radiography, CT), and tracheoscopy were monitored for six months.

Main Results:

  • Nitinol stents were accurately placed without migration or fracture.
  • Clinical signs of coughing and dyspnea resolved within two to three weeks.
  • All dogs resumed normal activities, indicating successful treatment and recovery.

Conclusions:

  • The nitinol stent proved to be a stable and effective treatment for canine tracheal rupture.
  • The stent exhibited no migration or deformation, confirming its compatibility with tracheal structures.
  • The material's flexibility and adequate radial force support its use in similar veterinary cases.
