Abstract:
The use of transbronchial brushing in six patients with peripheral lung lesions is described. In all of the four cases of carcinoma the brushings contained diagnostic cells and in two of these cases previous bronchoscopy had failed to provide histological evidence of tumour. More widespread application of this simple and useful diagnostic technique is advocated.

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
871
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 II: Palpation
2.5K
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical in identifying potential health issues. One key component of this assessment is palpation, a technique healthcare providers use to assess the body for abnormalities. This content explores the method of palpation in evaluating the respiratory tract, focusing on thoracic palpation and tactile fremitus.
Thoracic Palpation
Thoracic palpation detects tenderness, masses, lesions, respiratory excursions, and vocal fremitus. The nurse assesses...
