Rhinological tactics in the complex treatment of patients with severe combined cranio-facial trauma who are on mechanical ventilation

Abstract

Introduction. In recent years, injuries ranked fourth among the main causes of death of the population after diseases of the cardiovascular system, malignant neoplasms and infectious diseases. The clinical course of associated injuries, as a rule, is characterized by a high number of complications, much more than in isolated injuries.Objective. Explore approaches to improving otorynolaryngological tactics from the standpoint of normalizing the functional state of the nasal mucosa, as well as increasing the effectiveness of treatment of patients with severe concomitant trauma on prolonged mechanical ventilation.Materials and methods. In the process of studying the problem of impaired mucociliary clearance of the nasal mucosa, the functional state of the mucous membrane in patients with severe concomitant head trauma undergoing prolonged artificial lung ventilation was analyzed. We studied the state of one of the most important mechanisms of sanitation and local protection of the respiratory tract - mucociliary clearance, which provides the necessary potential for barrier, cleansing and immune functions. A study was made of the thermal effect of the nasal cavity, pH + of the mucous membrane, the study of the frequency of beating of the cilia of the ciliated epithelium and the rate of mucociliary transportResults and discussion. The results of the study showed that the problem of post-traumatic and nosocomial sinusitis in patients with severe concomitant head trauma must be resolved as soon as possible, with the involvement of modern diagnostic and treatment methods, including the proposed method of artificial ventilation of the nose. The severity of the patient's condition, the severity of the injuries received excludes the use of advanced methods of surgical, otorhinolaryngological treatment.Conclusion. 12:30 PMThe use of minimally invasive methods of treatment, precision technical execution, including under endovideo control, polysinusotomy made it possible not to burden the condition of the victims and exclude iatrogenic damage that could entail irreversible changes in the body and condition of the victim.
