Psychological drama , or psychodrama , is a subgenre of drama and psychological fiction literatures that generally focuses upon the emotional, mental, and psychological development of the protagonists and other characters within the narrative, which is highlighted by the drama. It is widely known as one of the main subgenres of psychological fiction; the subgenre is commonly used for films and television series.
82-497: Bad Timing is a 1980 British psychological drama film directed by Nicolas Roeg and starring Art Garfunkel , Theresa Russell , Harvey Keitel and Denholm Elliott . The plot focuses on an American woman and a psychology professor living in Vienna , and, largely told through nonlinear flashbacks , examines the details of their turbulent relationship as uncovered by a detective investigating her apparent suicide attempt.

Psychological dramas commonly deal directly with the psychological state and mental health, emphasize on emotional conflicts and often serve as a portrait of introspective personal struggle. It can be also characterized as primary character-driven , in which attention will be particularly paid to the psychology of the characters, to their intimate problems more than to

The comparative study above also identified ring fractures in 9 of 30 live patients while another small series identified ring fractures in 5 of their 20 patients. The long term significance of tracheal ring fractures is unknown. Tracheotomy was first potentially depicted on Egyptian artifacts in 3600 BC. Hippocrates condemned
410-408: A consensus on where or how the tracheal incision should be made, arguing whether the "high tracheotomy" or the "low tracheotomy" was more beneficial. The currently used surgical tracheotomy technique was described in 1909 by Chevalier Jackson of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . Jackson emphasised the importance of postoperative care, which dramatically reduced the death rate. By 1965, the surgical anatomy

Though Netusil has physical evidence suggesting Milena
656-497: A last resort to treat a case of diphtheria . In 1852, Bretonneau's student Armand Trousseau reported a series of 169 tracheotomies (158 of which were for croup , and 11 for "chronic maladies of the larynx") In 1858, John Snow was the first to report tracheotomy and cannulation of the trachea for the administration of chloroform anesthesia in an animal model. In 1871, the German surgeon Friedrich Trendelenburg (1844–1924) published
738-483: A low surgical trachea site, repetitive neck movement, radiotherapy, or prolonged intubation. A potential risk factor identified in a 2013 systematic review of the percutaneous technique was the lack of bronchoscopic guidance. Use of the bronchoscope, an instrument inserted through a patient's mouth for internal visualization of the airway, can help with proper placement of instruments and better visualization of anatomical structures. However, this can also be dependent on
820-509: A paper describing the first successful elective human tracheotomy to be performed for the purpose of administration of general anesthesia. In 1880, the Scottish surgeon William Macewen (1848–1924) reported on his use of orotracheal intubation as an alternative to tracheotomy to allow a patient with glottic edema to breathe, as well as in the setting of general anesthesia with chloroform . At last, in 1880 Morell Mackenzie 's book discussed

The patient apparently made a complete recovery, and Brassavola published his account in 1546. This operation has been identified as the first recorded successful tracheostomy, despite many ancient references to the trachea and possibly to its opening. Ambroise Paré (1510–1590) described suture of tracheal lacerations in

Its UK distributor, Rank , were appalled by what they saw; one executive called it "a sick film made by sick people for sick people". In response, they removed the Rank logo from all UK prints of the film. John Coleman in the New Statesman gave it a very bad review: "[it has] an overall style which plays merry hell with chronology". On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes

She tells him the photo is of her and her brother, taken in California years prior, but Alex does not believe her. The following morning, Alex confronts
1312-412: A tracheostomy. A tracheostomy tube may be single or dual lumen, and also cuffed or uncuffed. A dual lumen tracheostomy tube consists of an outer cannula or main shaft, an inner cannula, and an obturator. The obturator is used when inserting the tracheostomy tube to guide the placement of the outer cannula and is removed once the outer cannula is in place. The outer cannula remains in place but, because of

Another example of an emergency attempt at this procedure is featured in the 2013 comedy film The Heat , where Sandra Bullock ’s character, Sarah Ashburn, attempts to perform the operation on a person choking on a pancake in a Denny's , but fails. Melissa McCarthy ’s character, Detective Mullens, then presses hard on
1476-518: A trocar. In 1620 the French surgeon Nicholas Habicot (1550–1624), surgeon of the Duke of Nemours and anatomist, published a report of four successful "bronchotomies" which he had performed. One of these is the first recorded case of a tracheotomy for the removal of a foreign body, in this instance a blood clot in the larynx of a stabbing victim. He also described the first tracheotomy to be performed on
1558-445: A tube change. Although uncommon (< 1/1000 tracheostomy tube days), the associated fatality is high due to the loss of airway. Due to the seriousness of such a situation, individuals with a tracheotomy tube should consult with their healthcare providers to have a specific, written, emergency intubation and tracheostomy recannulation (reinsertion) plan prepared in advance. Tracheal stenosis , otherwise known as an abnormal narrowing of
1640-504: A vertical incision and was the first to introduce the idea of a tracheostomy tube. This was a straight, short cannula that incorporated wings to prevent the tube from advancing too far into the trachea. He recommended the operation only as a last resort, to be used in cases of airway obstruction by foreign bodies or secretions . Fabricius' description of the tracheotomy procedure is similar to that used today. Giulio Cesare Casseri (1552–1616) succeeded Fabricius as professor of anatomy at
1722-484: A very low success rate, and many surgeons still considered the tracheotomy to be a useless and dangerous procedure. The high mortality rate for this operation, which had not improved, supported their position. From the period 1500 to 1832 there are only 28 known reports of tracheotomy. In 1543, Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) wrote that tracheal intubation and subsequent artificial respiration could be life-saving. Antonio Musa Brassavola (1490–1554) of Ferrara treated

An example is in the 2008 horror film, Saw V , in which a character being drowned from the neck up performs a manual tracheotomy, stabbing his neck with a pen to create an airway to breathe through. The most common procedure is a cricothyrotomy (or "crike"), which is an incision through the skin and cricothyroid membrane. This is often confused or misnamed as

Commonly a transverse (horizontal) incision is made two fingerbreadths above the suprasternal notch . Alternatively, a vertical incision can be made in the midline of the neck from the thyroid cartilage to just above the suprasternal notch. Skin, subcutaneous tissue, and strap muscles (a specific group of neck muscles) are retracted aside to expose
2542-463: The larynx , allowing speech. Special tracheostomy tube valves (such as the Passy-Muir valve ) have been created to assist people in their speech. The patient can inhale through the unidirectional tube. Upon expiration, pressure causes the valve to close, redirecting air around the tube, past the vocal folds, producing sound. The typical procedure done is the open surgical tracheotomy (OST) and

3444-446: The above terms. Part of the ambiguity is due to the uncertainty of the intended permanence of the stoma (hole) at the time it is created. There are four main reasons why someone would receive a tracheotomy: In the acute (short term) setting, indications for tracheotomy include such conditions as severe facial trauma , tumors of the head and neck (e.g., cancers , branchial cleft cysts ), and acute angioedema and inflammation of

A 2000 Spanish study of bedside percutaneous tracheostomy reported overall complication rates of 10–15% and a procedural mortality of 0%, which is comparable to those of other series reported in the literature from the Netherlands and the United States. A 2013 systematic review calculated procedural mortality to be 0.17% or 1 in 600 cases. Multiple systematic reviews identified no significant difference in rates of mortality, major bleeding, or wound infection between

4428-460: The head and neck. In the context of failed tracheal intubation , either tracheotomy or cricothyrotomy may be performed. In the chronic (long-term) setting, indications for tracheotomy include the need for long-term mechanical ventilation and tracheal toilet (e.g., comatose patients, extensive surgery involving the head and neck). Tracheotomy may result in a significant reduction in the administration of sedatives and vasopressors , as well as
4510-414: The marriage is simply platonic, and that she and Stefan are no longer in love. Despite this, Alex begins researching into Stefan's past, and inquires with local government agencies about how Milena can proceed with a divorce, which she refuses. Alex's jealousy of Milena only continues to grow, and he begins to resent her. After one argument, Milena forcefully impels Alex to have sex with her to sate him, and
4592-430: The median time between starting mechanical ventilation and receiving a tracheostomy was 11 days. Although the definition varies depending on hospital and provider, early tracheostomy can be considered to be less than 10 days (2 to 14 days) and late tracheostomy to be 10 days or more. Biphasic cuirass ventilation is a form of non-invasive mechanical ventilation that can — in a small subset of cases — allow people to avoid

The etymology of the word tracheotomy comes from two Greek words: the root tom- (from Greek τομή tomḗ ) meaning "to cut", and the word trachea (from Greek τραχεία tracheía ). The word tracheostomy , including the root stom- (from Greek στόμα stóma ) meaning "mouth", refers to the making of a semi-permanent or permanent opening and to the opening itself. Some sources offer different definitions of

It often overlaps with other genres such as crime , fantasy , dark comedy , mystery and science fiction , and it is closely related with
5330-506: The subgenre is rather devoid of humor. Each films utilize a range of techniques to mirror the psychological landscape of their characters. Close-ups and subjective camera angles invite viewers into the character’s personal space, while disjointed editing and surreal imagery can reflect fragmented states of mind. The use of symbolism is also prevalent, with objects, settings, and colors imbued with psychological significance. Music and sound design play crucial roles, often used to heighten
5412-437: The subgenre, often employs several psychological and social elements. For example: Akira Kurosawa , a Japanese renowned filmmaker, known for his landmark filmography with the subgenre, notably Drunken Angel (1948) and Ikiru (1952).

In the early 20th century, physicians began to use the tracheotomy in the treatment of patients affected by paralytic poliomyelitis who required mechanical ventilation . However, surgeons continued to debate various aspects of the tracheotomy well into the 20th century. Many techniques were described and employed, along with many different surgical instruments and tracheal tubes. Surgeons could not seem to reach

The tracheotomy apparatus is then attached to the neck with tracheotomy ties, skin sutures, or both. The first widely accepted percutaneous tracheotomy technique was described by Pat Ciaglia, a New York surgeon, in 1985. The next widely used technique
5986-431: The two techniques. Hemorrhage is rare, but the most likely cause of fatality after a tracheostomy. It usually occurs due to a tracheoarterial fistula , an abnormal connection between the trachea and nearby blood vessels, and most commonly manifests between 3 days to 6 weeks after the procedure is done. Fistulas can result from incorrectly positioned equipment, high cuff pressures causing pressure sores or mucosal damage,
6068-399: Was a major factor in these developments. Surgeons became increasingly open to experimental surgery on the trachea. During this period, many surgeons attempted to perform tracheotomies, for various reasons and with various methods. Many suggestions were put forward, but little actual progress was made toward making the procedure more successful. The tracheotomy remained a dangerous operation with
6150-498: Was commonly performed for obstructive sleep apnea until the 1980s, when other procedures such as the uvulopalatopharyngoplasty , genioglossus advancement , and maxillomandibular advancement surgeries were described as alternative surgical modalities for OSA. If prolonged ventilation is required, tracheostomy is usually considered. The timing of this procedure is dependent on the clinical situation and an individual's preference. An international multicenter study in 2000 determined that
6232-466: Was controversial upon its release, being branded "a sick film made by sick people for sick people" by its own distributor, the Rank Organisation , and was given an X rating in the United States. It went unreleased on home video in the United States until 2005 when The Criterion Collection released their DVD edition. In Cold War Vienna, Milena Flaherty, a young American woman in her 20s,
6314-400: Was developed in 1989 by Bill Griggs , an Australian intensive care specialist. In 1995, Fantoni developed a translaryngeal approach of percutaneous tracheostomy. The Griggs and Ciaglia Blue Rhino techniques are the two main techniques in current use. A number of comparison studies have been undertaken between these two techniques with no clear differences emerging An advantage of PDT over OST
6396-766: Was first shown at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 1980, and premiered in London on 10 April 1980. The film was later shown at the Toronto International Film Festival on 12 September 1980, and was screened in New York City on 22 September, with a theatrical release in the United States on 25 October 1980. The film received mixed reviews. Some found it brilliant; others, tasteless. At
6478-525: Was one of the series of movies greenlit by Tony Williams at the Rank Organisation , who were increasing their production output. Rank made eight films over two years, being mostly conservative choices such as the 1978 film The Thirty-Nine Steps , the third adaptation of the 1915 novel. Bad Timing was the most unusual of the slate of films. While Art Garfunkel was making the film, his girlfriend, Laurie Bird , committed suicide in New York. Bad Timing

Alex departs without repercussion, but, before he leaves, Stefan comments that he must love Milena more than his own dignity. Some time later, in New York, Alex sees Milena passing by in front of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel as he enters a taxi. He calls out to her, and she briefly turns toward him, revealing her tracheotomy scar, before impassively walking away. The film
6642-428: Was the first to use the word "tracheotomy" in 1649, but this term was not commonly used until a century later. Georg Detharding (1671–1747), professor of anatomy at the University of Rostock , treated a drowning victim with tracheostomy in 1714. In the 1820s, the tracheotomy began to be recognized as a legitimate means of treating severe airway obstruction. In 1832, French physician Pierre Bretonneau employed it as
6724-535: Was thoroughly and widely understood, antibiotics were widely available and useful for treating postoperative infections, and other major complications had also become more manageable. Notable individuals who have or have had a tracheotomy include Catherine Zeta-Jones , Mika Häkkinen , Stephen Hawking , Connie Culp , Christopher Reeve , Roy Horn , William Rehnquist , Gabby Giffords , George Michael , Val Kilmer , and many others. Across movies and TV shows, there are many situations where an emergency procedure
