Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

13.5K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.

It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

4.2K
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

2.0K
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...

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management01:17

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management

3.0K
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Intracapsular tonsillectomy (ICT) is suggested to be less morbid than extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT).
  • Underutilization of ICT stems from concerns about its effectiveness and potential need for revision surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate long-term symptom control after intracapsular tonsillectomy (ICT) in children.
  • To assess the incidence of revision tonsillectomy following ICT in a pediatric population.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review identified pediatric patients who underwent ICT between 2010-2023.
  • Long-term follow-up involved patient interviews assessing symptom persistence and need for revision surgery.
  • Data collected included recurrent sore throat, snoring, upper airway obstruction, and subsequent tonsillectomy.

Main Results:

  • Of 181 participants with a median follow-up of 8.7 years, 92.3% reported symptom resolution.
  • ICT demonstrated high efficacy in controlling snoring/upper airway obstruction (91.3%) and sore throat (93.5%).
  • Revision tonsillectomy was required in 3.3% of patients, primarily for persistent upper airway obstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Intracapsular tonsillectomy (ICT) provides effective short- and long-term symptom control for upper airway obstruction and recurrent sore throat.
  • The findings support ICT as a beneficial treatment option, reinforcing existing literature.
