Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches a lung scan, specifically a ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan.

Answer: A
 The procedure described is not listed for the other choices. It matches a bronchoalveolar lavage, which involves washing out the airspaces in the lungs with saline and retrieving fluid for analysis.

Answer: D
 The procedure described involves imaging the blood vessels of the lungs with radioactive contrast material, and is specific to computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography.

Answer: E
 The procedure described is not listed for the other choices. It matches thoracentesis, which involves inserting a needle into the pleural space to remove fluid for analysis.

Answer: B and F
 The procedure described is not listed for the other choices. It could potentially involve either endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy, depending on the reason for the procedure. However, the description does not specifically match either one.
