kopsutorude otsene vaatlus suu või nina kaudu sinna juhitava bronhoskoobi abil
kopsutorusisene uuring valgusallikaga varustatud instrumendi (bronhoskoobi) abil
the examination of the bronchial tree with a bronchoscope
inspection of the interior of the tracheobronchial tree through a bronchoscope, usually a fiberoptic one passed through the nose
endoscopie des bronches à l'aide d'un bronchoscope
Hea teada
This is used as a diagnostic aid and for therapeutic purposes. As an aid to diagnosis the bronchoscope allows for visualization of the bronchial mucosa and removal of tissue for biopsy. Bronchial washings and collection of secretions are done at the time of bronchoscopy to obtain samples for culture and cytological examination. Therapeutically, the bronchoscope permits removal of foreign bodies that have been aspirated into the bronchial tree and also may be used to facilitate suctioning of the lower airway.
Bronhoskoopia näidustuseks on nii uuringud kui ka ravi: kasvajaliste haiguste diagnoosimine; proovitükkide võtmine; bronhiaspiraadi või bronhioalveolaarloputusvedeliku kogumine uuringuteks; kopsuhaiguste diagnostika; võõrkehade ja eritiste eemaldamine; verejooksude ja nende lähtekohtade otsimine.
Tänapäeval tehakse bronhoskoopiat kohaliku tuimastusega, kusjuures tuimastit manustatakse inhalatsiooni (sissehingamise) teel.
Another risk factor associated with bronchoscopy is the introduction of infectious agents into the lungs, which occurs when the instrument is not sanitized properly.
