Check tracheal disease, what good method is there?

First, chest X-ray, chest CT and other imaging examinations are helpful to diagnose tracheobronchial inflammation, tracheal tumor, bronchiectasis and other diseases.

Second, lung function examination, mainly checking the ventilation function and diffusion function of trachea, can find out whether there is obstructive or restrictive ventilation dysfunction, which is helpful for the diagnosis of bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diseases.

Third, fiberoptic bronchoscopy is more intuitive, and it can directly observe whether there are inflammation, foreign bodies, tumors and other lesions in the trachea.

Trachea examination method: First of all, the examinee should take a sitting position or supine position, so that the neck is in the natural center position and the shoulders are at the same height. The examiner puts the index finger and ring finger of the right hand on the sternocleidomastoid joints on both sides of the subject, and cuts the middle finger of the right hand on the sternum to treat the symptoms of trachea. Observe whether the middle finger is between the index finger and ring finger or between the trachea and the sternocleidomastoid muscles on both sides, and judge whether there is tracheal heterotopia according to the gap between the two sides.

In addition, tracheal displacement is of great significance to the diagnosis of chest diseases. When one side has pleural effusion, pneumatosis or occupies new organisms, the trachea will be pushed to the healthy side due to the increased pressure on the affected side, and when one side has atelectasis, pleural thickening and adhesion, the trachea will be pulled to the affected side. Besides. During aortic aneurysm, due to the huge fluid when the heart contracts, the trachea is pressed backwards, so every time the heart beats, it can touch the trachea and rotate downward.

The examination of lung function is mainly to check the ventilation function and diffusion function of airway, which can find out whether there is obstructive or restrictive ventilation dysfunction, which is helpful for the diagnosis of bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diseases. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is relatively intuitive, and it can directly observe whether the airway mucosa has inflammation, tuberculosis, foreign bodies and tumor lesions under the endoscope. What kind of examination to choose for tracheal diseases needs to be comprehensively judged according to the specific clinical manifestations of patients and other auxiliary examinations, and the most suitable examination method should be selected.
