Respiratory endoscopy is called another pair of eyes of respiratory doctors. What is the role of respiratory endoscopy?

With the support of new technology, it can be cured. Respiratory endoscopy is a new minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment technology. Endoscope is the basis of this technology. By sending the endoscope into the patient's cavity, the doctor can intuitively observe the lesion site and surrounding tissues of the patient with the support of modern imaging technology, and evaluate the degree of the patient's disease. Among them, the most commonly used endoscopic techniques in clinic are bronchoscopy, mediastinoscopy and thoracoscopy.

The wide application of respiratory endoscopy in clinic is an important guarantee to improve the diagnostic accuracy of respiratory diseases. At the same time, it also makes the clinical diagnosis and treatment plan accurate, which can effectively reduce the rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, give patients early diagnosis, and formulate scientific treatment techniques for them, which can effectively reduce the mortality rate of patients and improve the treatment effect. Respiratory endoscopy has a wide range of applications, such as the combined application of thoracoscope and bronchoscope in respiratory medicine, interventional diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases and other related respiratory diseases.

Respiratory endoscopy is an invasive procedure, and patients may have different degrees of stress response. Therefore, the requirements for doctors in clinical use are also very high. It needs to combine the physical differences, tolerance and disease characteristics of patients, so as to ensure the scientific and correct diagnosis and treatment of endoscopy. Respiratory endoscopy is an invasive operation, and some critically ill patients are not suitable for respiratory endoscopy. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the patient's physical condition, preliminary diagnosis results and body tolerance before making a respiratory endoscopy diagnosis and treatment plan.

Matters needing attention in the application of respiratory endoscope technology: fully understand the usage norms of respiratory endoscope, and require patients to abstain from food and water for more than 4 hours before operation; It is normal to inform patients that they may have breath-holding symptoms during diagnosis and treatment, so that patients can be psychologically prepared to relieve tension and fear so as not to affect the smooth development of diagnosis and treatment; After the operation, the patient was told to rest for 2 hours. It was normal to abstain from food and water for these 2 hours, and the patient was told that there was a little bloodshot after expectoration. For patients with more hemoptysis, doctors need to find out the causes in time and give symptomatic treatment. Strictly following the usage specification of respiratory endoscope can effectively reduce the risk of operation and ensure the safety of diagnosis and treatment.
