Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils, connected...

Background:

Polydioxanone threads, specifically JAMBER (JB) threads, are explored as a safe alternative for facial volume augmentation.
This study focuses on evaluating JB threads for nasal augmentation, assessing efficacy, safety, and longevity over 12 months.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and longevity of JAMBER (JB) threads for nasal augmentation.
To track changes in nasal height and volume following JB thread insertion over a 12-month period.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 23 patients undergoing nasal augmentation with JB threads.
Utilized ultrasound and 3D scanner imaging at multiple intervals (1-12 months) to assess changes.
Average of 2.85 JB threads in the nasal dorsum and 1.75 in the columella were used.

Main Results:

JB thread diameter decreased from 1.113 mm to 0.857 mm, indicating gradual absorption.
Soft-tissue thickness increased (1.213 mm to 1.403 mm), suggesting collagenesis.
Nasal volume and height showed significant increases, stabilizing by 12 months (volume: 0.552 mL, height: 1.005 mm).
No complications like infection or extrusion were reported.

Conclusions:

JAMBER (JB) threads are effective for long-lasting nasal augmentation.
They present a safer, minimally invasive alternative to fillers and implants, avoiding vascular risks.
Precise technique and patient selection are crucial for optimal outcomes.
