Service Providers for Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the airways and lungs. During the procedure, a bronchoscope (a flexible tube with a light and camera) is inserted through the nose or mouth into the lungs. It allows doctors to visually inspect the airways, take tissue samples (biopsies), remove obstructions, or perform treatments such as draining fluids or clearing blockages. Preparation typically includes fasting for several hours and possible sedation or local anesthesia. Risks include bleeding, infection, or injury to the airways. After the procedure, patients may experience a sore throat, cough, or mild discomfort, with most recovering within a few hours.
