Instrument Uses Head Mirror with head band: to focus light into the cavity under inspection; mirror is concave and is used with a Chiron lamp to produce a parallel beam of light; doctor views through the hole (average diameter of mirror is 3 & 1/2" & that of hole is 1/4") Head mounted lights with head band: to focus light into the cavity under ...
Laryngoscopy (/ ˌ l ær ɪ ŋ ˈ ɡ ɒ s k ə p i /) is endoscopy of the larynx, a part of the throat. It is a medical procedure that is used to obtain a view, for example, of the vocal folds and the glottis .
While both of these involve digital pressure to the anterior aspect (front) of the laryngeal apparatus, the purpose of the latter is to improve the view of the glottis during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, rather than to prevent regurgitation. [52] Both cricoid pressure and the BURP maneuver have the potential to worsen laryngoscopy. [53]
Instrument Uses Autopsy table: for placing and fixing the corpse: Refrigerators: for preservation of the corpse Dissection scissors: used to hold or move structures Arterial & jugular tubes: to draw or drain out all the blood before replacing it with embalming fluids like formaldehyde for preservation of structures as practiced in Anatomy: Head ...
Tracheal intubation (usually simply referred to as intubation), an invasive medical procedure, is the placement of a flexible plastic catheter into the trachea.For millennia, tracheotomy was considered the most reliable (and most risky) method of tracheal intubation.
A nasopharyngoscopy is a surgical procedure performed to examine the nose and throat.It is performed using a fiberoptic [1] instrument called a flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngoscope, [2] that is inserted through the nose in order to examine both it, and the back of the throat. [3]
Laryngectomy is the removal of the larynx.In a total laryngectomy, the entire larynx is removed (including the vocal folds, hyoid bone, epiglottis, thyroid and cricoid cartilage and a few tracheal cartilage rings) with the separation of the airway from the mouth, nose and esophagus. [1]
The aryepiglottic folds are triangular folds of mucous membrane of the larynx.They enclose ligamentous and muscular fibres. They extend from the lateral borders of the epiglottis to the arytenoid cartilages, hence the name 'aryepiglottic'.
