Scientific examination of pneumonia in children

Pneumonia is a respiratory disease and is also a common disease in our daily lives. This disease can make people feel very uncomfortable. They may cough continuously and even cough up blood. It can cause serious inconvenience to people's lives and cause some people to panic. So how much do you know about pneumonia? What are the common examination methods for pneumonia? How much do you know?

Sputum routine examination Sputum general properties examination is to observe the color, properties and measure the amount of sputum. Sputum is the secretion of the trachea, bronchi and lungs.

Sputum pathogen examination Sputum is the secretion produced by the trachea, bronchi and alveoli. Sputum pathogen examination is one of the bases for confirming the nature of respiratory tract and lung infection.

Plain chest film Plain chest film is also called chest radiography. The X-ray images obtained by radiography are much clearer than those obtained by fluoroscopy. Its advantages are: (1) The image of the examined part is permanently retained on the film and can be used for analysis, discussion, and review and comparison; (2) It can be preserved as scientific research data; (3) Radiography can show fine structures, such as early-stage lesions larger than 2 mm, which are clearer than fluoroscopy. (4) Radiography can examine thicker parts of the human body and allows patients to receive less X-rays.

Chest CT examination Chest CT examination is a method of examining the chest through X-ray computed tomography (CT).

Examination of the general properties of sputum Examination of the general properties of sputum is a method of examining the amount of sputum, the properties and color of sputum, and the odor of sputum.

Chest fluoroscopy is a direct examination in which the patient is placed between the X-ray tube and the fluorescent screen. It can be used for direct observation of comprehensive dynamics, such as heart beats, diaphragmatic activity, gastrointestinal motility, joint activity, etc. It can also be used for positioning observation, gastrointestinal imaging, and indication of diagnostic and treatment operations in X-ray contrast examinations, such as cardiac catheterization, fracture reduction, and foreign body removal. The most commonly used part of X-ray fluoroscopy is the chest, where lesions of the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, heart, and large blood vessels are examined. It can also be used to examine limb bones, soft tissues, foreign bodies and gas in the body cavity, stones, and contraceptive rings.

Serum mucin (SM) is a complex protein composed of mucopolysaccharide and protein. The determination of serum mucin has a certain reference significance for the diagnosis of liver and kidney diseases and the dynamic observation and course of certain diseases.

Anaerobic bacteria detection Anaerobic infection is an endogenous infection that occurs in all clinical departments and can occur in all parts and organs of the human body. Anaerobic bacteria detection is to detect whether there are anaerobic bacteria in the infected area.

Pleural effusion examination The serous cavities of the human body include the pleural cavity, pericardial cavity, joint cavity, scrotal tunica vaginalis, etc. Under normal circumstances, there is a small amount of fluid in the cavity, which acts as a lubricant. However, under pathological conditions, there may be a large amount of fluid in the cavity, which is called serous cavity effusion, such as pleural effusion, ascites, pericardial effusion, scrotal tunica vaginalis, etc. Due to the different causes of effusion, it can be divided into two types: transudate and exudate. Its various components and properties are obviously different. The amount, appearance, pH, relative density, protein, glucose and microscopic examination of various effusions are examined. The significance is to distinguish the nature of the effusion, find out the cause, and conduct diagnosis and treatment. Pleural effusion examination is suitable for those with compression symptoms or poisoning symptoms of pleural effusion, pus, and blood effusion. It is also commonly used for diagnostic thoracentesis examination, and is also used for local injection of chemotherapy drugs for tuberculous, cancerous and purulent pleural effusions.

After the above introduction, do you have some understanding of some common examination methods for pneumonia? We all know that knowing yourself and knowing the enemy is the key to success. I hope that while understanding the disease, we can help friends overcome the disease and regain a healthy body to live happily. Finally, I wish all patients and friends can get rid of the troubles of the disease.
