Abstract:

Blood oozing from the access port due to breakage of the wound protector may obscure the surgical view during thoracoscopic surgery. Therefore, we developed a novel wound protector with honeycomb meshing that prevents its breakage by dispersing the force acting on the edge of the access port in six directions. This novel wound protector could reduce the likelihood of interruption during surgery due to blood oozing from the surface of the access port, contributing to surgical efficacy and safety.

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

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.

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

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...
