Pneumatic Test

The pneumatic test is one of the types of compression-aspiration test. From the names it becomes clear that when conducting a pneumatic test, liquid is sucked into a test tube. However, this test is not only capable of extracting and examining fluid from a patient's throat or nose, but is also capable of performing procedures according to an ultrasound scan. This pneumatic tube has compression as well as high power, which makes the procedure easy and effective. A pneumatic test is an integral part of the diagnosis of the upper respiratory tract.

A pneumatic test is often performed if a patient suspects changes in the upper respiratory tract, which are inflammatory in nature or obstructive disorders when difficulty breathing is present, but the exact cause is unclear. Symptoms may include: high fever, difficulty breathing, swelling of the neck, difficulty breathing when inhaling or exhaling, coughing after exercise, coughing at night, severe shortness of breath. Unfortunately, many modern researchers rely on this test, considering it the best diagnostic choice for upper respiratory tract obstruction. As a general rule, the doctor performs this procedure and prescribes a course of treatment depending on the nature of the identified pathology. Although pneumatic tubes eliminate the presence of human error, some errors may occur during testing and, accordingly, require a change or additional course of treatment. That is why pneumotests are often prescribed in combination with other research methods. To perform pneumatic tests, a special device is sometimes used to create constant air pressure during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This device is called a “compressor”. Also of great importance is the correct installation of the measuring sensor inside the test tube using a cranial cardioid membrane, which is located at an angle of 30-45 degrees.
