bronchoscopic techniques

Bronchoscopic techniques involve using a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope to examine and treat the airways inside the lungs. The bronchoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth and guided into the lungs, allowing doctors to see the airways directly. These procedures help diagnose problems like infections, tumors, or bleeding, and can also be used to remove blockages, take tissue samples, or deliver medication. It's minimally invasive, meaning patients typically experience less discomfort and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Bronchoscopies are valuable tools for diagnosing and managing various lung conditions efficiently and safely.
