Bronchoscopy Procedures

Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope. This tube is inserted through the nose or mouth, down the throat, and into the lungs. It has a light and camera to provide a clear view of the airways. Doctors may use bronchoscopy to diagnose lung diseases, collect tissue samples, or remove blockages. The procedure is usually done under sedation, and while it may cause mild discomfort, it generally has minimal risks and is important for identifying respiratory issues accurately.
