    Insights

    Sinus catheters effectively treated acute and chronic purulent sinusitis in children. Combining catheterization with nasal irrigation offered a persistent therapeutic effect, proving beneficial for pediatric practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Acute and chronic purulent polysinusitis pose significant health challenges in pediatric populations.
    • Effective management strategies for pediatric sinusitis are crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing disease burden.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of sinus catheterization in treating pediatric acute and chronic purulent polysinusitis.
    • To assess the combined therapeutic effect of sinus catheterization and nasal irrigation.

    Main Methods:

    • Sinus catheters were inserted in 44 children diagnosed with acute or chronic purulent polysinusitis.
    • A subgroup of 33 outpatients received combined treatment of sinus catheterization and nasal irrigation.

    Main Results:

    • Sinus catheterization demonstrated a positive therapeutic effect in managing pediatric sinusitis.
    • The combination of sinus catheterization and nasal irrigation resulted in a persistent therapeutic effect on the inflammation focus.

    Conclusions:

    • Sinus catheterization is a viable treatment option for pediatric purulent polysinusitis.
    • The combined approach of sinus catheterization and nasal irrigation offers a persistent therapeutic effect, suitable for both inpatient and outpatient pediatric settings.

    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.

    A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils, connected...
    Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

    Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

    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.

    Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

    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...

    Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...
