Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to look inside the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope, which has a light and camera at its tip.

Why a Bronchoscopy is Done:

• To diagnose:

  • Persistent Cough
  • Lung Infections
  • Bleeding in the Lungs
  • Tumors or Lung Cancer
  • Collapsed Lung (Atelectasis)

• To treat:

  • Remove foreign objects
  • Clear mucus plugs
  • Perform biopsies (tissue sampling)
  • Deliver medications directly into the lungs
