• Direct Laryngoscopy: Insertion of the
endotracheal tube by a method
of directly visualizing the vocal cords by
naked eye.
• Indirect Laryngoscopy: Insertion of the
endotracheal tube by a method of
indirectly visualizing the vocal cord, either
using a video camera or optics (mirrors).
RIGID vs FLEXIBLE
 STROBOSCOPY
• A stroboscope, also known as a strobe, is an
instrument used to make a cyclically moving
object appear to be slow-moving, or stationary.
It consists of either a rotating disk with slots or
holes or a lamp such as a flashtube which
produces brief repetitive flashes of light.

• Decortication refers to a surgical procedure
done to free a fibrous capsule that has formed
around the lung, secondary to an inflammatory
process, such as an infection. Ordinarily there
is a space between the lung and the inside of
the chest wall, with this space "lubricated" by a
thin layer of fluid.
• A pulmonary infiltrate is a substance denser
than air, such as pus, blood, or protein, which
lingers within the parenchyma of
the lungs. Pulmonary infiltrates are
associated with pneumonia, and
tuberculosis. Pulmonary infiltrates can be
observed on a chest radiograph.

LYMPH NODES
• Lymph nodes are bean-shaped and range in size
from a few millimeters to about 1-2 cm in their normal
state.
Lymph nodes are enlarged when the body is infected
due to enhanced production of some cells and division
of activated T and B cells. Most lymph nodes form in
clusters throughout the system, such as in the neck,
armpit, and groin.The lymph nodes provide an
environment where lymphocytes can receive initial
exposure to foreign antigens like viruses, bacteria,
fungi, etc. which activates the lymphocytes to perform
immune functions.
The Main function of the lymphatic system:
• collect and receive interstitial fluids
• defend the body against diseases
• absorb the lipids in your intestines and bring them into
the blood
