2020年11月3日 · Reviewed and revised 21/2/13 OVERVIEW Dave Pilcher’s 4 rules for finding where you are: the trachea is D shaped, the flat wall is posterior the RML bronchus is anterior the apical (aka superior) segmental bronchi of the lower lobes are posterior if in doubt, go back to the carina VIDEO Bronchial Tree: Segmental Anatomy from […]

Approach: nasal/oral (if not intubated) or via ETT/LMA/tracheostomy tube. Indications: therapeutic/diagnostic/intubation aid. The airways follow a branching tree pattern of approximately 23 generations from the trachea to the alveolar sacs. Only four to …

2020年9月9日 · This chapter focuses on identification of normal anatomy, landmarks, and pathologies seen during bronchoscopy of upper airways (from nares to glottis) and lower airways (trachea and conducting bronchi).

Bronchoscopy allows endoscopic examination of the tracheobronchial tree and is an essential modality in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities within or adjacent to the airways. A firm understanding of the normal anatomy and relationship to adjacent structures allows physicians to avoid complications and achieve optimal performance during ...

Bronchoscopy is used to visualize the airways. The trachea, with its rings of cartilage, can be seen. In this person, the trachea opens and closes during breathing—a sign of weakened airway tissue.

Bronchoscopy is the introduction of an endoscope into the airways. Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (rather than rigid bronchoscopy) is used for virtually all diagnostic, and most therapeutic, indications.

Bronchoscopy is a direct visual examination of the voice box (larynx) and airways through a viewing tube (a bronchoscope). A bronchoscope, a thin viewing tube with a light, has a camera at the end that allows a doctor to look down through the larger airways (bronchi) into the lungs.
