Video-Bronchoscopy
Video-Bronchoscopy is a cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the airways of the lungs. This minimally invasive technique employs a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope equipped with a high-definition camera and light source. The camera transmits real-time images of the airways, allowing healthcare providers to detect abnormalities, collect samples, and perform certain treatments with precision.
During the procedure, the bronchoscope is gently inserted through the nose or mouth and navigated down the throat into the airways. The high-quality video feed enables detailed visualization of the trachea and bronchial tubes, making it an essential tool for diagnosing and managing various pulmonary conditions.
Benefits of Video-Bronchoscopy
- Accurate Diagnosis: Identifies conditions like infections, tumors, foreign objects, or airway inflammation.
- Tissue Sampling: Enables biopsy collection for diagnosing lung cancer or infections.
- Minimally Invasive: Reduces the need for surgical interventions while ensuring patient comfort.
- Therapeutic Use: Clears blockages, retrieves foreign objects, or administers medication directly into the lungs.
- Real-Time Imaging: Offers precise guidance for effective treatment.
Who Needs Video-Bronchoscopy?
- Patients with persistent cough, unexplained chest X-ray findings, or abnormal CT scans.
