Is electronic fiber laryngoscope painful?

The electronic fiber laryngoscope is a medical examination device widely used in the field of laryngeal disease. It mainly uses the principle of optical fiber to amplify the symptoms of laryngeal disease many times, allowing doctors to better observe the patient's condition. Many people are doing this, and they all feel very painful, except when using electronic fiber laryngoscopes, because those laryngoscopes make people feel nauseous and even have difficulty swallowing.

1. For children with snoring, hoarseness, nose bleeding, throat discomfort and other symptoms, surface anesthesia of the nasopharynx and nasal constriction should be performed before the examination. Due to the poor cooperation of children, surface anesthesia spray will not be given to the throat to avoid accidental swallowing. For children aged 3 to 5 years old, the first thing to do is to strengthen communication with the child. A friendly facial expression can stabilize the child's adverse psychological reactions, and the medical staff's kind touch and encouraging words can significantly reduce the child's fear. At the same time, their attention should be distracted, such as playing cartoons, looking at children's drawings together, etc., so that they can accept the examination with a relaxed attitude.

2. Children aged 5 to 10 years old already have a certain degree of rational thinking. It is necessary to communicate with the children patiently, give priority to children who can actively cooperate with the examination, set an example for psychologically nervous children, arrange for uncooperative children to watch the entire or partial examination process, and let those who have completed the examination communicate with them so that nervous children have a period of adaptation. In addition, we must give full play to the role of parents. We must explain clearly to them the requirements, purpose and necessity of the examination, and require them not to show their worries and nervousness, and to encourage their children to accept the examination.

3. Try to shorten the waiting time. The examination time for young children is relatively shorter than that for adults. The image collector generally uses video recording to prevent the omission of important images, which may lead to examination failure and loss of treatment opportunities. During the examination, parents hold the child's hands tightly, firstly to comfort the child, and secondly to prevent the child from suddenly becoming uncooperative and grabbing the scope with his hands, causing damage to the scope. The nurse will use both hands to fix the child's head to prevent it from swinging left and right and affecting the doctor's operation. After the examination, the children who completed the examination were rewarded and praised, and a report with photos was given to them as a "prize".

4. For some uncooperative children during the examination, they will be given chloral hydrate orally for sedation after obtaining the consent of their parents.

Electronic nasopharyngoscope is a new diagnostic tool after indirect laryngoscope, direct laryngoscope and fiber laryngoscope. It is a new tool for diagnosing nasopharyngeal diseases in children due to its thin tube, less pain, easy operation, high-definition imaging, reasonable cost and easy acceptance by children. It is a trustworthy and reassuring examination!
