Night oximetry consists of the all-night continuous measurement of arterial oxygen saturation. This is done non-invasively with the pulse oximetry method. (SpO2).
Drops in saturation values recorded during the night are considered one of the most important parameters in identifying sleep apnea. But the value of night oximetry extends beyond sleep apnea diagnosis. It can also be used for example in patients with COPD to determine the need for supplemental oxygen at night.
Bronchoscopy is a procedure, by which the physician can examine the patient’s large airways (trachea, bronchi), which are the main way of air delivery to the lungs.
The device used, the fiber-optic bronchoscope, is a slim, flexible telescope wide as a pencil.
Several reasons may make bronchoscopy necessary.
Most common indication is the suspicion of malignancy in any form of chest imaging.
Another common indication is sampling for microbiological examination, in order to diagnose a lung infection.
Smoking is as much a physiological as physical addiction that is very difficult to stop without specialized medical treatment. Many smokers are unable to quit or even reduce smoking, whereas the recurrence rate among those who manage to quit is extremely high. Smoking cessation is a complete medical intervention, with psychological and pharmacological support, if needed.
Accurate diagnosis, effective treatment and close follow-up of the respiratory diseases by a specialized Pulmunologist are of critical importance, in order to achieve optimal results.
