Role of Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy in Pulmonary Diseases
Abstract
Bronchoscopy- is an endoscopic procedure, which provides direct access tothe tracheo-bronchial tree and play an essential role in the diagnosis and
treatment of patients with chest problems.
Fiberoptic Bronchoscopes- are flexible bronchoscopes composed of
fiberoptic bundles which provide both illumination and visualization pathways.
A small channel with a diameter of 1 to 3 mm traverses the fiberoptic scope,
through which instruments can be passed. Several manufacturers produce
various models, and each model has particular advantages and limitations, and
they differ in outer diameter from less than 4mm to more than 6mm and also in
the arc of bending from 60 to 180 degrees, while the viewing angles vary from
66 to 100 degrees (1)
Ultrathin Fiberoptic Bronchoscopes- are also now available with an
outer diameter of 1.8 to 2.2 mm,it is usefull and safe in diagnosis of peripheral
pulmonary lesions.
