Fiberoptic nasopharyngoscope

The fiber nasopharyngoscope is a thin, soft and flexible endoscope with a light guiding fiber as a light source. The inspection is safe and easy, and can be performed in an outpatient setting without hospitalization. The patient takes the sitting position, first removes the nasal sinus in the nose, and after the nasopharyngeal surface anesthesia, the tube-type fiber nasopharyngeal mirror is sent to the bottom of the nasal cavity through the anterior nares, and then slowly enters the nasopharynx, and the nasopharynx is observed in detail. . For the location of the suspected lesion, the biopsy can also be taken for pathological examination by this fiber nasopharyngeal forceps. Basic Information Specialist Category: Otolaryngology Examination Category: Endoscope Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: The mucosa of the nasopharynx, the septum posterior margin, the bilateral pharyngeal recess, the eustachian tube protuberance and the eustachian tube pharynx are smooth, the color is normal, the sides are symmetrical, there are no new creatures, and the sides of the posterior nostrils are symmetrical, each nasal There are no secretions and new creatures in the road, and the turbinate is normal. Positive: Nasopharyngeal apex, nasal septum trailing edge, bilateral pharyngeal crypt, eustachian tube protuberance and eustachian tube pharyngeal mucosa rough, abnormal color, bilateral asymmetry, new organisms, asymmetrical size on both sides of the posterior nostrils, each There are secretions and new creatures in the nasal passages, and each turbinate is abnormal. Reminder: The movement should be light and light during the examination. It is forbidden to drink or fast within 2 hours after the examination to prevent aspiration pneumonia. Normal value The mucosa of the nasopharynx, the septum posterior margin, the bilateral pharyngeal recess, the eustachian tube protuberance and the eustachian tube pharynx are smooth, the color is normal, the sides are symmetrical, there are no new creatures, and the sides of the posterior nostrils are symmetrical, each nasal There are no secretions and new creatures in the road, and the turbinate is normal. Clinical significance Abnormal results: nasopharyngeal apex, nasal septum trailing edge, bilateral pharyngeal recess, eustachian tube protuberance and eustachian tube pharyngeal mucosa rough, abnormal color, bilateral asymmetry, new organisms, no size on both sides of the posterior nares Symmetrical, there are secretions and new creatures in each nasal passage, and each turbinate is abnormal. People who need to be examined: bleeding patients with unexplained nasopharynx. Positive results may be diseases: nasopharyngeal carcinoma, nasopharyngeal sarcoma, uvulopalosis, nasal foreign body, congenital throat wheezing, pharyngeal lupus, pharyngeal stenosis and atresia, pharyngeal paralysis Taboo before inspection: Pay attention to the movements to be light and avoid rough operation. Requirements for inspection: Banned and fasted within 2 hours after the examination to prevent aspiration pneumonia. Inspection process (1) 擤 nose before examination. (2) 1% dicaine nasal and oropharyngeal mucosal surface anesthesia. (3) Fiber nasopharyngeal mirror can be nasal or oral, with the left hand holding the lens body, the thumb control direction button, direct view from the mouth or nasal cavity into the nasopharynx, adjust the observation angle of the endoscope, detailed observation The nasopharyngeal apex, the posterior margin of the nasal septum, the pharyngeal recesses on both sides, the eustachian tube protuberance and the mucosa of the eustachian tube are smooth, the color is normal, the sides are symmetrical, there are no new creatures, and the size of the posterior nostrils is Symmetrical, whether there are secretions and new organisms in each nasal passage, whether the nasal turbinates are normal, if the children should pay attention to the size of the adenoid. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: those with severe heart and lung disease. Adverse reactions and risks Nothing.
