The Uk

Surgical tracheostomy is a commonly provided service by surgical teams for patients in intensive care where percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is contraindicated. A number of factors may interfere with its provision on shared emergency operating lists, potentially prolonging the stay in intensive care. We undertook a two-part project to examine the factors that might delay provision of surgical tracheostomy in the intensive care unit. The first part was a prospective audit of practice within the University Hospital Coventry. This was followed by a telephone survey of oral and maxillofacial surgery units throughout the UK. In the intensive care unit at University Hospital Coventry, of 39 referrals, 21 (53.8%) were delayed beyond 24 hours. There was a mean (standard deviation) time to delay of 2.2 days (0.9 days) and the most common cause of delay was surgeon decision, accounting for 13 (61.9%) delays. From a telephone survey of 140 units nationwide, 40 (28.4%) were regularly involved in the provision of surgical tracheostomies for intensive care and 17 (42.5%) experienced delays beyond 24 hours, owing to a combination of theatre availability (76.5%) and surgeon availability (47.1%). There is case for having a dedicated tracheostomy team and provisional theatre slot to optimise patient outcomes and reduce delays. We aim to implement such a move within our unit and audit the outcomes prospectively following this change.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the incidence, demographic distribution, type, and etiology of all facial fractures treated by the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in A Coruña University Hospital (Spain) from 2001 to 2008. A descriptive and analytic retrospective study evaluated 643 patients treated for facial fracture (excluding nasal and dento-alveolar) by the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in A Coruña University Hospital from January 2001 to December 2008. Five parameters were studied: year of the injury, gender, age, fracture type, and etiology. Six hundred and forty-three patients with 793 fractures were included. Of these, 83.2% were males and 16.8% were females. The patients’ age ranged between 18 months and 89 years, with a mean of 37.6 and a median of 33. The major cause of injury was traffic accidents (27%), followed by assaults (20.5%), accidental traumas (20.1%), sports (11%), syncopes (7.8%), rural accidents (6.1%), industrial accidents (5.1%), and suicide attempts (0.3%). In 1.1% of the patients, it was impossible to verify the etiology. The etiology of facial fractures varies from one country to another, depending on the cultural, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. In our study, the most common cause was traffic accidents, closely followed by assaults. The number of fractures due to traffic accidents has decreased in the last 3 years. Rural accidents accounted for a significantly higher percentage of fractures than that observed in other series. The number of fractures receiving a surgical treatment from 2005 to 2008 has progressively decreased.

This chapter contains eight clinical vivas on the subject of head and neck surgical oncology. This will provide candidates sitting the vivas component of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery FRCS examination with practical knowledge in the assessment and treatment of cancer presenting in the head, face, and neck region. It will also provide insight for clinicians in allied specialties, such as otolaryngology and plastic surgery, in how to engage in a debate with a senior clinician in the contemporary management of such complex cases.

Objectives: To analyze frequency, gender, age distribution, cause of injuryand type of dento alveolar injury among patients at Liaquat university hospital Hyderabad.Setting: This research done in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department at Liaquat UniversityHospital Hyderabad. Period: June 2013 to December 2014. Material and Methods: A dataof 114 patients who had been suffered with dentoalveolar trauma was reviewed. Patientshistory including age, gender, etiology of injury, type of injury like (intrusion, extrusion, luxation,subluxation, avulsion, crown fracture, root fracture were analyzed. Results: 36 female patientsand 78 male patients were affected with dentoalveolar trauma. The injury was frequent in agebetween 11-20 years. Mainly etiology of injury was fall in 54 cases followed by RTA in 35 cases.Intrusion of teeth was seen in 51 cases and crown fracture in 29 cases. Conclusion: The resultsof this study illustrate that fall is most common etiology of dentoalveolar trauma in this area.Intrusion of teeth was the most common types of dentoalveolar traumatic injury. Precautionaryeducational programs relating to traumatic dental injuries are required to be held in our countryto reduce the number of such injuries.

Objectives: The purpose of current study was to identify particular procedures which are associated with a high risk of glove puncture and thereby assist in limiting the risk of infection, especially those in high risk group. Study Design: Observational study. Setting: Outpatient department of dentistry at Liaquat University hospital, Hyderabad. Period: August 2017 to January 2018. Materials and Methods: In present study gloves perforation were assessed after performing various dental treatments by using Latex Biogel gloves. Total 400 gloves were collected from department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, operative dentistry and prosthodontics, 100 from each department. Simple Water Infla­tion technique was used to test punctures in gloves to determine the number and position of punctures in used gloves. Data collection was done using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive statistics were computed and differences between groups were assessed through T- test. P-value ≤ 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: Total 400 gloves were examined 100 from each department. Out of 100, 94 (94%) were found perforated from oral & maxillofacial surgery, 90 (90%) from orthodontics, 73 (73%) from prosthodontics & 80 (80%) from operative dentistry. Gloves puncture of left hand were more 292 (73%) than that of right hand 108 (27%) out of 400 gloves. Conclusion: Perforation of Gloves while several dental procedures have been evaluated and resulted that gloves on left hand were at greater risk unambiguously in the procedures in which wires were used, additional precautions like wearing double gloves during these procedures may therefore be indicated.
