Introduction of fiber nasopharyngeal endoscope

Once I accompanied my wife to see an eye doctor. The doctor had already prescribed some medicine. Seeing that she had a lot of money left on her medical insurance, I arranged for a comprehensive check-up, which cost more than 500 yuan. In the end, there was nothing serious. I wanted to scold the doctor at the time, but I held back. However, I have to admire the progress of medical examination technology today. Here is some information about fiber nasopharyngeal endoscope for your reference.

The fiberoptic nasopharyngeal endoscope is a fiberoptic device that can magnify the lesions thousands of times through the imaging technology of the microscope during a detailed examination of the larynx. The doctor can use the magnified vocal cord cysts and other pathological tissues with its own surgical forceps to perform outpatient surgery on vocal cord polyps, vocal cord nodules and other vocal cord lesions. The operation time is short and the patient is basically painless.

Precautions

1) Do not eat or drink for 6 hours after general anesthesia surgery to prevent vomiting and suffocation.

2) After local anesthesia and 6 hours after waking up from general anesthesia, it is recommended to eat a semi-liquid diet (such as porridge, milk, milk powder, noodle soup, etc.) and sit in a semi-lying position.

3) After the nasal gauze is removed, switch to a normal diet, but avoid irritating foods (such as fried, deep-fried, spicy foods).

4) The gauze blocking the nasal cavity will be removed 1 to 2 days after the operation. It is easy to have dry mouth during the period of nasal packing, so it is advisable to drink warm water in small amounts and multiple times.

5) Do not spit forcefully after the operation, and avoid coughing and sneezing. If you have the precursor of coughing or sneezing, please open your mouth and take a deep breath or press the tip of your tongue against the upper palate. At the same time, do not remove the nasal packing gauze by yourself to prevent active nasal bleeding.

4 Contraindications

1) Patients with acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and dyspnea.

2) Those with severe heart and lung diseases.

5 Treatment features 1. Because the fiberoptic laryngoscope is soft, bendable and has a strong brightness, it is particularly suitable for patients with trismus, difficulty opening the mouth, thick and short neck, high tongue, sensitive pharyngeal reflex, and curled epiglottis, who are difficult to examine with indirect laryngoscopy.

2. The fiber laryngoscope has a small diameter and a thin lumen, which causes little stimulation to the larynx and causes no pain to the patient.

3. The fiber laryngoscope has a clear field of view and accurate positioning. It can detect subtle lesions in hidden areas at an early stage and perform biopsy, thereby improving the disease diagnosis rate and biopsy positivity rate.

4. Vocal cord nodules and polyp cysts can be treated with timely surgery without hospitalization and general anesthesia, saving time and reducing the financial burden on patients. The surgery also causes less tissue trauma, less wound surface, less reaction, and faster recovery.

The above is an introduction to the fiber nasopharyngeal endoscope. Nowadays, there are very few doctors with moral integrity, and even fewer who are both virtuous and talented. They are all blinded by economic benefits and personal income. Every time they go to see a doctor, they face the fate of being slaughtered, especially in small private hospitals. Therefore, it is better to go to a large hospital for medical treatment. Of course, it is best to pay attention to daily maintenance.
