Necessary procedures for the management of the diverse nature of Group A Streptoccocal infections may

include Endotracheal Intubation, Thoracentesis, and Lumbar puncture.

Endotracheal intubation is a procedure by which a tube is inserted through the mouth down into the
trachea. This is often done under deep sedation before the surgery. The patient is often unconscious
at the time of the surgery. The tube used is usually a flexible plastic tube called endotracheal tube.

Thoracentisis is a procedure done when there is too much fluid in the pleural space, making the
patient had to breathe. The pleural space is found between the lungs and the chest which typically
contains approximately four teaspoons of fluid. Tumors, Pneumonia, heart failure, or ling illnesses
can cause the fluid to increase its volume; this is called pleural effusion. When there is an excess of
fluid, it can compress the lungs and cause difficulty of breathing.

Lumbar puncture is a procedure which looks and collects for fluid surrounding the brain and the
spinal ord. during a lumbar puncture, a needle is carefully inserted into the spinal canal (at the
lumbar area).
