Bronchoscopy – Bronchoscopy involves
the introduction of a bronchoscope into the airways. The procedure is done
under loco-regional anaesthesia in a procedure room. It is required for
internal inspection of the respiratory tract and to obtain biopsies and other
materials from the diseased parts.
Important procedures commonly done with bronchoscopy include taking
pieces of any growth or tumour in the airway for diagnostic purposes
(endobronchial biopsy – EBB), taking pieces of lung tissue (trans-bronchial
lung biopsy – TBLB) and taking samples from abnormally enlarged lymph nodes (trans-bronchial
needle aspiration –TBNA). Bronchoscopy is especially required for the
management of diseases such as lung cancer, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung
diseases, etc.
