Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is recommended for patients with an unexplained cough that lasts longer than 3 weeks.

It is used for coughing up blood, unclear shadows on a lung X-ray or CT scan, and suspected tumors.

It is also indicated for suspected tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, pneumonia that does not resolve, and foreign bodies.

Patients with immunodeficiency or unclear lung function test results often need a bronchoscopy.

It is also used for aspiration, suspected narrowing of the airways, and monitoring postoperative conditions.

In oncological patients, it helps in taking tissue for histopathological and microbiological analysis.

The examination is of great importance for establishing an accurate diagnosis in complex lung diseases.

Bronchoscopy is also used for therapeutic interventions such as rinsing mucus or extracting foreign bodies.

A doctor determines the indication for the examination after a consultation and analysis of previous findings.

Medical Time provides an individual approach and quick organization of the entire process.

Bronchoscopy is performed while the patient is lying down and under general anesthesia, completely unconscious.

A flexible bronchoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth into the trachea and then into the bronchi.

A camera displays the respiratory tract on a screen, allowing the doctor a detailed examination and orientation.

During the procedure, the doctor can take tissue samples, swabs, or perform therapeutic interventions.

The examination is performed carefully and usually lasts from 15 to 30 minutes.

Thanks to modern equipment, the image is clear, and the risk of complications is minimal.

After the examination, the patient remains under supervision until they are fully awake from the anesthesia.

Bronchoscopy at Medical Time is performed in controlled, sterile conditions with experienced staff.

Patients can usually resume their normal activities the next day.

Results are delivered as soon as possible.

Bronchoscopy has an irreplaceable role in detecting diseases of the respiratory tract that are not clearly visible on an X-ray or CT scan.

It allows for taking samples for microbiological, cytological, and histopathological analysis.

It is crucial for the early detection of malignant tumors, chronic infections, and structural anomalies.

It combines a diagnostic and therapeutic function since pathological contents can also be removed during the same procedure.

For patients with a prolonged cough or unexplained X-ray findings, bronchoscopy is the gold standard.

It can detect infections that do not respond to therapy, as well as hidden narrowing in the respiratory tract.

In urgent situations, the procedure is performed with priority and without delay.

In post-COVID recovery patients, bronchoscopy helps in detecting long-term changes in the lungs.

In combination with other diagnostic methods, it provides a complete picture of the state of the respiratory system.
