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.
The prescription medication desmopressin (sometimes called DDAVP) is a drug that mimics a naturally occurring hormone in the body and is used to treat nocturnal enuresis, or bedwetting, as well as other conditions.
