Explain The Eight Diagnostic Techniques, Treatments, And Procedures Related To The Respiratory System
Eight diagnostic techniques, treatments, and procedures related to the respiratory system.
1. Bronchoscopy is a type of procedure to see the airways to the lung (bronchi) or the lung. A small tube will be insert through the nose (or mouth) till it reaches the bronchi. The doctor can examine the upper airways, the larynx, trachea, and the bronchi. Usually the patient is under anesthesia, or took a type of medicine to help to relax. This type of procedure is used for multiple reasons. Examples: To remove some fluid for biopsy, to remove an object, removal of mucus, and to dilate the airway.
2. Chest x-ray is a machine that uses electromagnet waves that will take a pictures of the inside of the chest. The test is performed usually standing up. The chest x-ray is commonly used for identify diseases, and check for possible fluid/pus in the chest.

I small tub will be insert either through the nose or the mouth to view the larynx. The procedure is used for different reason. View examples: to identify that cause for voice problems, any health issues with the larynx and to remove a sample for biopsy.
4. Lung scan is a type of procedure that takes Images of the lung. There 2 different method used. One method is the ventilation scan that is used with certain gas that the patient inhales and in the same time the technician will take pictures of the lung. The gas in the lung shows on the pictures, if the lungs get enough air, or too much air. The second method is the perfusion scan the patient will be injected with a special dye. In the same time images will be taken. The dye will show on the images how well the blood flow to the lung is working. This method is used to diagnose pulmonary
