Domain Knowledge: COPD - Pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients Balloon treatment in COPD (Broncho muco cleaner balloon method) Asthma Lung cancer Pneumonia Smoking cessation treatment Sleep Apnoea (Polysomnography test and evaluation) Pulmonary embolism Interstitial lung diseases Tuberculosis Pleural effusion (thoracentesis for diagnosis and treatment - pleural fluid intake-application) Pneumothorax treatment (Chest tube-tube thoracostomy closed underwater drainage application) Bronchoscopy: It is most commonly used for pathological diagnosis in Lung Cancer. In addition, prolonged voice without any pathology in the vocal cords with a cough that lasted more than 3 weeks without any diagnosis (allergy, reflux, sinusitis) in determining the location of bleeding for patients who were found to have an abnormal appearance on chest X-ray and could not be diagnosed with other methods, and patients who had bloody sputum. Diagnosis and treatment are performed by performing bronchoscopy in patients with hoarseness, suspicion of foreign body escape to the lung, intense and viscous lung secretion in the airways and related atelectasis (lung extinction). Most often, bronchoscopy is performed on patients for pathological diagnosis, especially in lung cancer. In COPD patients, which is a new method, the enlargement and cleaning of the airways is performed bronchoscopically with the broncho muco cleaner balloon method.
