ECG Interpretation of Arrhythmias I: Sinus Arrhythmias01:16

ECG Interpretation of Arrhythmias I: Sinus Arrhythmias

799
Arrhythmias are disturbances in the heart's rhythm that lead to abnormal heartbeats. These irregularities can originate from different parts of the heart and are classified based on their origin and nature.
Types of Arrhythmias
Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.3K
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...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

1.0K
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:

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

681
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

3.1K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

579
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic nasal surgery represents a major advancement in otolaryngology.
  • The endoscope enhances diagnostic assessment of nasal and sinus pathology, leading to more appropriate therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of endoscopic nasal surgery.
  • To evaluate the impact of endoscopic techniques on various sinonasal and orbital procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnostic endoscopy for nasal and sinus pathology.
  • Therapeutic endoscopic procedures including polypectomy, antrostomy, and turbinoplasty.
  • Endoscopic approaches for cerebrospinal fluid leak repair, dacryocystorhinostomy, and orbital decompression.

Main Results:

  • Improved accuracy and safety in sinonasal surgeries like polypectomy, antrostomy, and turbinoplasty.
  • Endoscopy provides a valuable route for sub-cranial repair of cerebrospinal fluid leaks.
  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is effective for frontoethmoidal mucocoeles and valuable for nasal tumor evaluation and biopsy.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic nasal surgery enhances diagnostic capabilities and therapeutic precision in otolaryngology.
  • While beneficial for many conditions, the efficacy of endoscopic sphenoethmoidectomy for chronic rhinosinusitis remains unproven.
  • Endoscopic techniques are transforming surgical approaches in rhinology and related fields.
