flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy
The flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a vital practice in recognizing and managing several respiratory tract illnesses. In this surgery, a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the nose or mouth into the trachea and bronchus area. Pulmonologists can view bronchial tubes directly, take tissues samples, remove foreign objects and even conduct therapeutic procedures.
FFB is usually utilized to diagnose illness such as lung infections, interstitial lung diseases, lung cancer and unexplained chronic cough. This method is not invasive and can be done as an outpatient procedure where local anaesthesia or mild sedation are administered to relieve pain.
Technological developments in FFB include high definition video technology to enhance visualization of airways, and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) for more accurate sampling of lymph nodes and tissues in the vicinity of the airways. Because of these advancements, FFB has increased its ability to provide definitive diagnoses for a wide range of respiratory conditions making it very effective tool for treating lungs illnesses.
Talking with your healthcare provider about the reasons for doing flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy, its advantages, and its safety can help you understand how this procedure can aid in correct diagnosis and management of your respiratory disorder if you are considering it.
