Fiberoptic bronchoscopy to stimulate test sputum pathogen examination

Bronchoscopy (bronchoscopy for the observation of lobes, segments and sub-bronchial lesions, biopsy sampling, bacteriology with TV system for photography, teaching and dynamic recording. The bronchoscope with biopsy sampling mechanism can help find early Lesions, can carry out in vivo surgery such as polyp removal, and are a good precision instrument for bronchial and pulmonary disease research, postoperative examination, etc.) can be diagnosed.

Differential diagnosis

Diagnostic identification of increased bronchial purulent secretions:

Bronchial purulent secretions should be differentiated from other bloody, mucinous secretions of the airways.

Diagnose based on:

1. Fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and cyanosis.

2. There are medium and small wet rales in the lungs.
