Voorbeeld
The pulmonologist recommended a bronchoscopy to investigate the cause of the patient's persistent cough and shortness of breath.
The bronchoscopy revealed the presence of a tumor blocking the airway, which was subsequently removed during the same procedure.
After the bronchoscopy, the patient may experience minor discomfort, such as a sore throat or cough, but these symptoms typically resolve quickly.
During the bronchoscopy, the physician inserted the bronchoscope through the patient's nose or mouth and guided it into the lungs to examine the airways and collect tissue samples for biopsy.
Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various lung conditions, such as lung cancer, infections, or foreign body aspiration.
