Sputum Analysis
respiratory diseases, identify organism, identify abnormal cells
View the airways and check for any abnormalities
Bronchoscopy
Visualization of the chest, lungs, heart, large arteries, ribs and the diaphragm
chest x ray
A type of emission tomograhy based on magnetizing patient tissue, generating a weak electromagnetic signal
Magnetic resonance imaging
Imaging method in which successive layers by a narrow x ray beam
Computed tomography scan

Pulmonary angiography
obtaining specimen of pleural fluid for analysis
Thoracentesis
to determine the volume and capacity of the lungs, which aid to diagnose the patient

A procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs
Tracheostomy

A procedure providers use to place a chest tube
Thoracostomy
Air underneath the skin
Subcutaneous Emphysema
Used to relieve upper airway obstruction caused by tongue relaxation, secretions, seizures or biting down an oral ETs
Oropharyngeal airway
Used to maintain airway patency especially on semi conscious patient
Nasopharyngeal airway
Process of dispersing liquid medication particles and delivering into lungs as patient inhales through nebulizer.
Nebulization
Tube is placed into the windpipe through the mouth or nose
Endotracheal intubation
Are pressurized hand held devices that use propellants to deliver doses of medication.
Metered dose inhaler
Chest physiotherapy, the three principles:
Chest percussion, chest vibration, postural drainage
