Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to look inside the lungs and airways using a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope, which has a tiny camera and light at the tip. It is inserted through the nose or mouth and gently guided into the airways. This procedure helps identify infections, blockages, or abnormal tissue, and can also be used to take tissue samples. It is minimally invasive, typically performed under local anesthesia, and provides valuable information to diagnose and treat lung conditions effectively.
