Diagnostic and Therapeutic Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows a pulmonologist to examine your airways, lungs, and vocal cords. A thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope, equipped with a light and camera, is inserted through your nose or mouth into your lungs. This procedure is commonly used to investigate persistent coughs, infections, bleeding, or unusual findings on chest X-rays or CT scans. It also enables doctors to collect biopsy samples, clear airway blockages, or deliver targeted treatments directly to lung tissues.

Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Procedure

Patients are advised to fast for 6-8 hours before the procedure. Medical history, blood clotting parameters, and current medications are reviewed. A local anesthetic spray is applied to the throat to numb it and prevent coughing.

Day of Procedure

Performed in an endoscopy or bronchoscopy suite. Sedation is given to help the patient relax. The pulmonologist gently inserts the bronchoscope through the nose or mouth, guiding it into the bronchial tubes while monitoring oxygen levels and vitals.

Post Procedure

Patients remain in observation for 1-2 hours until the throat numbness wears off. Coughing up a small amount of sputum or feeling a mild sore throat is normal. Most patients are discharged to return home on the same day.
