I have been referred for this test.
Has anyone had one done? Would like to know what it involves. Will know more once I see speciaist too, which Im told should be soon, was only referred yesterday tho, so the specialist wont get it til Mon. Have tried to google for info but can only find research papers on how the test has been used to diagnosed problems in particular case studies. Im after a basic patient information sheet! TIA |

Naso is a prefix referring to the nose, tracheal is windpipe and endoscopy is a device with a camera and fibre optic light that is inserted for examination of these areas. Another name for it is a Bronchoscopy.
