Recently, 89-year-old Mr. Hao developed symptoms of unexplained cough and fever at home. Because the old man was old and weak, his family was worried when he saw this situation, so he came to the Department 1 of Ningjin County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for hospitalization. After receiving the treatment, the attending physician Liu Lanxiang carefully asked the patient about his medical history and combined with CT to check , and diagnosed him with acute lung infection. In order to give the patient a clearer diagnosis and more effective treatment, the patient is advised to undergo transfibrillary brascopic alveolar lavage.
After local anesthesia, the patient cooperated well. He took bronchoscopy and found through the electronic screen that the patient's right main bronchus and the lower lobe of the left lung had a large amount of white viscous and foamy secretions. The secretions that are not easy to cough out in the lungs were attracted through the bronchoscopy, and normal saline was injected into the lobes with severe lesions in the lungs according to the CT results and collected for examination.
bronchial alveolar lavage is used to fiber bronchoscopy to repeatedly irrigate and recover the lung or sub-lung segment below the bronchial level with sterile saline, which is equivalent to "washing the lungs" for the patient. It can promptly improve the symptoms of airway obstruction, and effectively remove secretions and sputum in the airway, so that the patient's ventilation status is improved, thereby improving the treatment effect. Ultimately reduce or prevent the occurrence of lung infection in . At the same time, a series of tests and analysis of the lavage fluid can be carried out to obtain the nature, characteristics and degree of activity of lower respiratory tract lesions, which helps to establish diagnosis and treatment.
