Filter by:The purpose of this cross-sectional prospective observational study is to determine the efficacy of high-resolution ultrasonography in identifying and characterizing nasal bone fractures in adult patients with recent facial trauma. The primary questions it aims to answer are: - Can high-resolution ultrasonography effectively detect nasal bone fractures? - Is high-resolution ultrasonography capable of indirectly detecting septal fractures? - What are the specificity and sensitivity of high-resolution ultrasonography in comparison to computed tomography scan? Participants will undergo examination and treatment in accordance with current standards for nasal fracture management. Additionally, high-resolution ultrasonography will be performed during the initial physical examination, preceding any therapeutic interventions.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of nasal injury prevention interventions (NIPI) (hydrocolloid tape and facial massage) on nasal septum injury, stress and comfort of premature neonates (28-35 weeks gestation) receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) support.
It is well-known and universally acknowledged that rhinoplasty is the most demanding procedure in facial aesthetic surgery. Postoperatively nasal osteotomies result in variable degrees of edema and ecchymosis and surgeons have tried various techniques, instruments, and postoperative methods to diminish these uncomfortable morbidities. Piezosurgery is used nowadays to decrease the incidence of injured soft tissues and vital structures passing near the osteotomy line. Its use in rhinoplasty was advocated to prevent unwanted back fractures as well as to decrease bleeding while keeping the nasal mucosa intact thus minimizing postoperative sequelae.
Adverse events are frequent in Neonatal Intensive Care Units' (NICU) patients and account for a high morbidity and mortality. Possible severe adverse events are central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), ventilator and catheter associated adverse events and medication errors. Severity of the patient's outcome after an adverse event can be classified using the National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Preventing (NCC MERP) Index for categorizing medication errors. The study will test the hypothesis that rates of adverse events in NICU patients will be reduced by the implementation of an educational program for the NICU caregivers (nurses and physicians), consisting of strategies for recognizing and preventing adverse events in their unit. These strategies will be oriented to prevent CLABSI, medication errors, skin and nasal complications and ventilator and catheter-associated adverse events. This trial has a stepped wedge cluster design, in which the NICUs from 12 hospitals in France will be randomized to the timing of implementation of the educational program. In order to describe the adverse events occurring during the study period, an anonymous voluntary adverse event reporting system will be provided to the caregivers of the participating units. A nested study will examine how caregivers communicate with the patients' parents in case of adverse event (disclosure or not, and caregivers' reasons). The rates of adverse events will be measured retrospectively using a neonatal NICU trigger tool.
