Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

1.1K
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract IV: Auscultation01:28

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract IV: Auscultation

3.8K
Auscultation is a crucial component of the physical assessment of the respiratory tract. It offers valuable insights into airflow through the bronchial tree and potential lung obstructions. This process involves careful listening to breath, voice, and adventitious sounds, which can reveal a wealth of information about a patient's respiratory health.
Breath Sounds
Breath sounds are categorized into vesicular, bronchovesicular, and bronchial.

Assessment of Respiration

2.3K
The respiratory system's basic structures and primary functions lay the foundation for nurses' comprehensive respiratory assessments. This assessment includes subjective and objective data to gauge the patient's respiratory health.
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

3.5K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Summary

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) enhances diagnostic bronchoscopy by visualizing beyond the airway. This technique aids in evaluating mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes for various pulmonary diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a standard procedure in diagnostic bronchoscopy.
  • EBUS extends visualization beyond the airway wall.
  • It is crucial for assessing tumor invasion of the tracheobronchial wall and mediastinum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of EBUS in evaluating mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes.
  • To discuss the application of EBUS as a guidance technique for peripheral pulmonary diseases.
  • To introduce the latest advancements in EBUS technology for real-time procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnostic bronchoscopy utilizing endobronchial ultrasound.
  • Real-time guidance for transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA).
Keywords:
