Service Providers for Tracheal Aspirate for Gram Stain
The Tracheal Aspirate for Gram Stain test is used to identify bacterial infections in the respiratory system by examining the tracheal sample under a microscope. A sample is collected from the trachea using a sterile suction device, with no special preparation required. Risks include mild discomfort, coughing, or slight bleeding. The Gram stain helps classify bacteria into two groups (Gram-positive or Gram-negative), aiding in identifying the infection. Results guide treatment, and poor sample collection can affect accuracy. Normal activities can be resumed after the procedure.
