Laryngoscopy is endoscopy of the larynx, a part of the throat. It is a medical procedure that is used to obtain a view, for example, of the vocal folds and the glottis. Laryngoscopy may be performed to facilitate tracheal intubation during general anaesthesia or cardiopulmonary resuscitation or for surgical procedures on the larynx or other parts of the upper tracheobronchial tree.
Physicians prescribe desmopressin most frequently for treatment of diabetes insipidus, bedwetting, or nocturia, thrombocytopathy. It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.
Desmopressin is used in several different conditions. It is a vasopressin analogue, which means that it is similar to a naturally occurring hormone called vasopressin. Vasopressin is also called antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH has an effect on your kidneys. It causes your kidneys to pass out less water in your urine, so your urine becomes more concentrated.
