| Laryngoscopy |
This procedure is done to visualize the upper airway. This procedure involves the use of a small flexible fiber optic scope inserted through the patient’s anesthetized nasal passage. The laryngoscopy is often done following an exercise or bronchial challenge test. Actual visualization lasts approximately two minutes. Aside from application of topical numbing medicine to the nasal passages and back of throat, no other test preparation or recovery time is required. |
