“…In case of multiple maggots, agents like turpentine oil or topical irritants such as ether, chloroform, olive oil, calomel, iodoform, and phenol mixture can help in the elimination of the maggots . Oil of turpentine creates an anoxic condition in the wound making it unfavorable for the maggots to stay inside and forces them to crawl out of the wound within 3 to 5 minutes.…”

of the mini-tracheostomy pan reduces indirect costs associated with sterilized reprocessing and unlike commercial airway kits can be reused. 2 The mini-tracheostomy pan is highly portable owing to its size. Our institutional practice calls for residents to have a minitracheostomy pan carried to all tenuous airway consults and left at bedside for patients with any airway concern. A minitracheostomy pan also resides in the ambulatory and inpatient recovery rooms. The traditional large and heavy tracheostomy pan discourages routine use. Furthermore, the bulky size of traditional pans often results in them being stowed inconsistently and in inconspicuous spaces preventing ready access in emergencies, whereas the mini-tracheostomy pan lacks this real-estate burden.With improvements in anesthetic technique and equipment, procedures involving the upper airway continue to transition to the outpatient clinic setting. [3][4][5] Though demonstrating a durable safety profile, transitioning from the operating room requires assistance from staff not usually familiar with surgical instruments in an emergency airway event. 6 Likewise, emergent airways occur in less than ideal environments like the emergency department, wards, or the postanesthesia recovery unit where support staff is unfamiliar with the procedure and resources are inconsistent. An inexpensive instrument set with easily identified instruments and small enough to be stowed in a conspicuous space of convenience like the mini-tracheotomy pan is highly advantageous in these environments.In conclusion, the mini-tracheotomy pan is a practical equipment set able to be implemented in any practice setting to improve patient safety and cost of care.

Myiasis is an infection caused by the deposition of fly larvae in tissues, and its involvement in the human oral cavity is uncommon. Herein, we have performed a data analysis of published cases of oral myiasis. A search was performed in PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, Scopus, and LILACS. Geographic distribution, demographic data, associated factors, clinical features, fly types, treatment, and presence of sequelae were analyzed. A total of 122 articles reported the cases of 157 infected individuals. The most affected countries were India (41%) and Brazil (29.5%). Male predominance (67.5%) and a mean of 41.9 years of age were observed. The gingiva (29%) was the most affected site, followed by palate (25%) and lip (21%). There were different forms and combinations of treatments: manual removal of larvae and surgical debridement, application of asphyxiating substances, antibiotic therapy, and use of ivermectin. The condition predominantly affects individuals with neurological and/or locomotor disabilities, of low socioeconomic status, with poor oral hygiene and chemical dependence and individuals with previous injuries or with the absence of lip sealing. The establishment of a standard treatment protocol, enabling comparison in future studies and providing uniformity in treatment strategies offered by health services is strongly recommended.

Furuncular Myiasis Affecting the Lower Lip of a Young Patient

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Furuncular myiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the larvae of Dipteran insects after penetrating healthy skin, causing an erythematous nodule with a central pore. Additionally, the patient may feel a sensation of movement and intermittent pain. Furuncular myiasis affecting the oral and perioral region is rare, usually leading to misdiagnosis. This paper describes a rare case of furuncular myiasis in a 20-year-old healthy male patient who presented an erythematous nodule in the lower lip. An exploratory surgery was indicated for both diagnostic and curative purposes, with successful healing observed in the following appointment. After 3 years of follow-up, the patient is recovered, with no clinical signs or symptoms of the disease.
