Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

503
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management01:28

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

337
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.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.2K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management01:28

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

251
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...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

731
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

802
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Rhinology
  • Climate Change Impacts

Background:

  • Climate change exacerbates global health issues, notably affecting rhinology.
  • Increased pollen seasons and plant migration due to climate change are linked to rising allergic rhinitis prevalence.
  • Chronic rhinosinusitis is impacted by air pollution and pathogen spread, influenced by climate shifts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing impact of climate change on rhinology.
  • To identify healthcare's contribution to climate change, focusing on operating rooms.
  • To discuss the environmental burden of surgical practices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on climate change effects in rhinology.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis.
  • Examination of healthcare's environmental footprint, specifically operating room energy consumption and waste.

Main Results:

  • Climate change intensifies pollen seasons, increasing allergic rhinitis risk.
  • Air pollution and pathogen dynamics related to climate change affect chronic rhinosinusitis.
  • Operating rooms are significant carbon emission sources due to energy use and potent anesthetic gases.
  • Operating rooms generate substantial hospital waste, estimated at up to 33%.

Conclusions:

  • Urgent attention is needed to address climate change's detrimental effects on rhinology and global health.
  • Healthcare systems must mitigate their environmental impact, especially within high-consumption areas like operating rooms.
  • Sustainable practices in healthcare are crucial to combat climate change and protect patient health.
