The Fulcrum Of The Bronchoscopic Lever Is At The Upper Thoracic ApertureCategory: INTRODUCTION OF THE BRONCHOSCOPE Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery Disregard of this rule will cause subglottic edema and will limit the lateral motion of the tip of the bronchoscope. It is the function of the assistant to make the head and neck follow the direction of the proximal end of the bronchoscope and thus avoid any pressure on the larynx (see Peroral Endoscopy, Fig. 135, p. 164). In passing down the trachea the following two rules must be kept in mind: 1. Before attempting to enter either main bronchus the carina must be identified. 2. Before entering either main bronchus the orifices of both should be identified and inspected. The carina is identified as a sharp vertical spur (recumbent patient) at the distal end of the trachea, on either side of which are the openings of the main bronchi. As the carina is situated to the left of the midline of the trachea, the lip of the bronchoscope should be turned toward the left, and slight lateral pressure should be made on the left tracheal wall while the head of the patient is held slightly to the right. This will expose the left bronchial orifice and carina. Next: Entering The Bronchi Previous: Examination Of The Trachea And Bronchi
