ENDOSCOPY

AK Mishra MS,DNB, MNAMS

Types of Endoscopy
Nasal Endoscopy Laryngoscopy Rigid / Flexible Bronchoscopy Rigid / Flexible Oesophagoscopy Rigid / Flexible

HISTORY
Kussmaul (1868): oesophagoscopy technique from sword swallower Chevalier Jackson: Early 20th century
Distally lighted rigid scopes Art of removal of FBs

HH Hopkins: telescopic rod lens system Ikeda (1958): Flexible fibreoptic broncho- & esophagoscope

Advantages: Flexible fibreoptic scopes


Safer, more comfortable for patient Easier, More informative for physician Periphery of bronchial tree accessible Longer, more detailed examination under LA Convenient for photography & documentation

Preparation of Patient
Medical problems Bleeding disorders Adverse reactions to drugs Appropriate Radiographic studies Psychological preparation

Anesthesia
General
in children Adults if not cooperative for rigid DL, B-scopy Rigid Esophagoscopy

Local
Adult rigid DL, B-scopy Flexible fibreoptic scopy

Direct Laryngoscopy
Is the specular examination of larynx Direct visualisation of larynx Is supplementary to IDL, not a substitute No reversal of image

Endoscopic anatomy of larynx


Base of tongue Glosso-epiglottic folds Epiglottis Aryepiglottic folds Pyriform sinus False vocal cords True vocal cords Subglottis

Indications for DL
DIAGNOSTIC: IDL is not possible or not conclusive but symptoms point to laryngeal pathology eg Persistent hoarseness(>3 wks), dyspnoea, stridor, dysphagia See hidden areas of larynx Infra hyoid epiglottis, Ant commissure, Ventricles, subglottis See hidden areas of hypopharynx Base tongue, valleculae, Lower part of pyriform fossa Neoplasms biopsy , Extent of growth Trauma to neck evaluation & possible stenting VC paralysis evaluation vs Cricoarytenoid arthritis Unknown primary with cervical mets

Indications for DL Scopy


Therapeutic:
Benign neoplasms, nodules, polyps - excision Removal of FBs

Contraindications: Dis of cervical spine Marked airway obstruction Recent cardiac decompensation

Technique
Boyce position ( Barking dog position)
Neck flexed on chest by elevating head 10-15 cm Head extended on atlanto occipital jt

Standard Laryngoscope Anterior Commissure laryngoscope Suspension laryngoscope

Post op care
Coma position Respiration / laryngospasm Laryngeal oedema Bleeding

Complications: - Injury to teeth/ lips/ tongue - Bleeding - Laryngeal oedema

Bronchoscopy- anatomy
Trachea : 12/10 cm long
13 x 18mm 18 C shaped rings

Carina a sharp ridge Rt main Bronchus: 2.5 cm long, 25 degree Lt main Bronchus : 5 cm long, 45 degree Secondary bronchi-3 on Rt, 2 on Lt Tertiary bronchus: Bronchopulmonary segments

Bronchoscopy- endoscopic anatomy


Tracheal rings Thyroid gland- narrowing Innominate artery pulsation Arch of aorta Carina sharp vertical crest
Moves on respiration & cardiac pulsation

Main bronchus: Rt is larger, more of a continuation of trachea


Expand in inspiration

B-scopy: Indications
In nearly all patients with respiratory diseases that are not self limited and of short duration ! A primary method of investigation in patients with diseases of respiratory system

Bronchoscopy Indications
Diagnostic
Airway obstruction (e.g. tracheomalacia,

bronchomalacia)
Persistent/recurrent pneumonia Tracheo-oesophageal fistula Brushings for cytology Transbronchial biopsy for histology Failure to wean from ventilator Haemoptysis

Bronchoscopy Indications
Therapeutic
Removal of foreign body Suctioning mucus plugs (e.g. in cystic fibrosis) Facilitate endobronchial intubation for one lung anaesthesia Laser therapy Balloon dilatation of trachea/bronchus

A larger bronchoscope may be helpful if there is a large air leak and IPPV is being used.

B-scopy - technique
Rigid bronchoscope may be passed into main bronchi Flexible scopes may be passed upto 4th order bronchi or even distally Biopsy Bronchial washings Bronchial brushings

Endoscopy Flexible Fibreoptic


OPD Procedure LocalAnesthesia In cervical ankylosis, trismus Less complications

Oesophagoscopy: Indications
Diagnostic

Dysphagia Neck Masses, VC paralysis Hemetemesis Oesophagitis


FB Dilatation of Srictures Varices Stents in Malignancies

Therapeutic

Oesophagoscopy: Contraindications
Perforation previously Cervical Ankylosis, Trauma Trismus Aneurysm of Aorta

Oesophagoscopy: Complications
Bleeding
In Biopsy, Dilatation

Perforation
Cervical:
Cervical Tenderness Surgical Emphysema

Thoracic: (More serious)


Pain Chest, radiating to Back Surgical Emphysema

Recent Advances: Video Laryngoscope
