A glimpse into today's lower face and neck lift procedure, where precise surgical techniques have already begun to reveal a more defined jawline and neck contour in our mature patient. These on-table results demonstrate the immediate improvements in facial architecture, though the best is yet to come. Over the next few months, as healing progresses and swelling subsides, patients typically experience further refinement of their results - including smoother neck contours, reduced jowling, and a more elegant jaw definition. ✨ Each surgical plan is customized to enhance natural features while ensuring results that age gracefully. 💫 Curious about facial rejuvenation options?

Having More Airway Options is a Good Thing! #Otolaryngologists - Head & Neck Surgeons (Ear, Nose & Throat/ENT) have by default have been involved in #airway management from the inception of our specialty We routinely address conditions of the larynx & pharynx including #cancer that can compromise the airway. Performing #tracheostomy or #emergency #cricothyroidotomy is not the only way we secure the airway. Most ENTs are proficient using #fiberoptic #bronchoscopy, all types of #direct #laryngoscopy (DL) and of course #videolaryngoscopy (VL). What differentiates us from others is our use of the anterior commissure laryngoscope (ACL) or Holinger laryngoscope within the #hospital which allows incredible versatility in managing complex airway patients to pass a #bougie through. The idea is to create a conduit into the trachea to railroad an #endotracheal tube. You don't need a POGO of 100% to pass a bougie. It may be 15-30%. How one gets to the #glottis i.e. using left or right hand, or left or right side of the mouth or utilizing the paraglossal approach is irrelevant. Use whatever approach you need for your situation to pass the bougie easily and #safely under direct vision. Awake #intubation is also possible. We can avoid cricothyroidotomies using this method and there is no dogma. Adroit Surgical - maker of the Vie Scope was created to bring these versatile simpler airway methods to everyone else including #prehospital by creating low cost, single use, self contained battery powered devices. The technique is different as we place deliberate, intentional pressure on the teeth with a smooth curved surface (using a toothguard) or avoid the teeth entirely by using the #paraglossal approach (preferred). Both of our scopes have built in rubber toothguards. In my opinion, the majority of perceived 'difficult' airway cases result from the method of using a Macintosh style blade. Sometimes it doesn't work especially in complex patients. The #viescope is a facsimile of the ACL but is self contained with a patented proximal to distal light source to avoid blackout from blood/secretions and vomit. Every other laryngoscope has the light and camera at the end of the blade which risks blackout. Our new one size #pediatric #bebevie laryngoscope shares the same illumination tech but is designed for direct ETT insertion Our #voirbougie is the only bougie with patented colored safety depth markers to make bougie use safer. The video below shows attempted awake intubation by #anesthesiologists. Multiple attempts using expensive devices failed including VL until success using an ACL. Airway management is a #team approach and we should share & use other specialties methods and devices to help our patients. Why would you deny your patient & yourself an easier option? We provide a simple to learn, easier back up option for intubation (and avoidance of esophageal intubation) in #adults & #children that can be performed anywhere. info@adroitsurgical.com

Everyone’s ability to manage a difficult airway patient is based on clinical assessment, training, experience, confidence, skill and choice of airway devices.

💀 Le Fort Fractures 💀 Le Fort fractures are a group of facial fractures where the midface is partially or fully separated from the skull. Blunt force trauma is the most common reason for these type of fractures. Examples include: MVC where face strikes the dashboard, a sports injury with bat to the face or violent injury with object struck to the face. These fractures are separated into into 3 categories: Le Fort I: presents in a horizontal line above the upper lip. It separates the teeth from the upper face. 💀 Broken or misaligned teeth 💀 Bruising and swelling to face Le Fort II: pyramid shape fracture. The top point of the fracture involves the bridge of nose/frontal bone, then reaches into the orbital rims and extends down to the upper teeth. 💀 Widening of the space between corner of eyes 💀 Bloody nose 💀 Abnormal mobility of upper jaw and teeth 💀 Dental injury/malocclusion 💀 Bruising around eyes and top of gums 💀 Possibility of cerebral spinal fluid [CSF] leak Le Fort III: the most severe type. Presents as horizontal fracture like type I but starts at the nasofrontal area and extends across the orbital walls, cheek bones and pterygoid plates. It can result in complete dislocation of the midface from the base of skull. 💀 Similar presentation to type II 💀 More severe deformity to face with a more flattened and lengthened appearance 💀 Bruising behind ear and presence of blood or CSF in ear Evaluation and management of a patent airway, control of hemorrhage and neurologic deficits are priority in these types of patients. Diagnostics include CT of facial bones followed by emergency surgery to stabilize fractures and facial orientation. Anyone know why ‘speak, hear and see no evil’ is a good way to remember the different classes of Le Fort fractures? 🩺 Taking my 13+ years of nursing experience and using it to assist in the legal field ⚖️ 📧 jessica.medina.lnc@gmail.com #expertwitness #legalnurseconsultant #medicalmalpractice #personalinjury #emergencyroomnurse #traumanurse #criticalcarenurse #nursesonlinkedin

What would you do on the back of a helicopter or ambulance bus or your ER with no history of difficult intubation just dyspnea? Have your backup plans ready. More than one plan rehearsed already and memorized like your birthday or social security number. That is how intimate and memorized and planned your airway management should be.

What Is an Eye Pad? An Eye Pad is a sterile medical dressing designed to cover and protect the eye. It's typically made of soft, absorbent material and is shaped to fit comfortably over the eye. 1. Soft Material: They are made from gentle, non-irritating materials to ensure comfort while covering the eye. 2. Absorbent: Eye pads are designed to absorb any discharge or fluids that may be present around the eye. 3. Sterile: They are usually sterile to prevent infection and promote healing. 4. Securing Mechanism: Many eye pads come with an adhesive strip or bandage to hold the pad securely in place over the eye. Common Uses: Eye Pads are used in various medical and first aid scenarios: - Eye Injuries: They are often used to cover and protect the eye in cases of minor eye injuries or after eye surgery. - First Aid: Eye pads can be applied to the eye as part of first aid for injuries like abrasions or foreign object removal. - Post-Surgery: Following certain eye surgeries, an eye pad may be used to protect the eye and promote healing. - Hygiene: They are also used in hospitals and healthcare settings to cover the eyes of patients during examinations or treatments to maintain hygiene. The proper use of eye pads and treatment of eye injuries should be supervised by healthcare professionals or trained individuals to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient. #IdealHealthCare #EyePad #MedicalDevices #HealthcareExplained #FirstAid #EyeCare #HealthEducation #medicaldevices #medtech #malaysia
