Why is Bronchoscopy Performed?

Bronchoscopy helps evaluate abnormalities within the airways and lungs, allowing accurate diagnosis and timely treatment of various respiratory conditions.

• Persistent or unexplained cough.
• Coughing up blood (Hemoptysis).
• Abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan findings.
• Suspected lung infections.
• Evaluation of lung nodules or tumors.
• Airway narrowing or blockage.

Diagnostic & Therapeutic Benefits

Bronchoscopy is useful for both diagnosing lung diseases and performing certain treatments without the need for major surgery.

• Collection of tissue samples (Biopsy).
• Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) for infection diagnosis.
• Removal of mucus plugs or foreign bodies.
• Assessment of airway abnormalities.
• Guidance for further treatment planning.

What to Expect During the Procedure?

Bronchoscopy is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Most procedures are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, allowing patients to return home the same day in many cases.
