What is Bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure in which a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope is gently inserted through the nose or mouth into the airways. The bronchoscope is equipped with a small camera and light, allowing the doctor to examine the trachea, bronchi, and lungs in real time.
The procedure helps diagnose respiratory conditions, collect tissue or fluid samples for laboratory analysis, remove mucus plugs or foreign bodies when necessary, and guide treatment decisions. Bronchoscopy is generally safe, minimally invasive, and performed under appropriate sedation for patient comfort.
