How long does it take to do bronchoscopy? Generally, fiberoptic bronchoscopy can be performed within half an hour. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is mainly used for clinical examination of alveoli and some bronchitis diseases, and can also be used to perform puncture biopsy with this fiberoptic scope. This medical device can also be used to treat diseases such as nasopharyngeal cancer or cysts.

Bronchoscopy is a commonly used tool for examining bronchi, bronchitis, and lung diseases, with a wide range of clinical applications. Although the operation is simple, it can detect many diseases hidden in the bronchi, bronchitis, and superficial lung areas without skin injury, making it possible to diagnose and treat them. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is suitable for observing alveolar, segmental, and subsegmental bronchitis, puncture biopsy sampling, microbiological examination, and in conjunction with the TV system, it can carry out shooting, gait analysis, and dynamic recording, enabling the detection of early disease, and is an excellent instrument for the study of bronchitis and lung diseases.

Bronchoscopy can be used to collect specimens through puncture biopsy, brushing, and bronchial lavage agent examination, and can also be used to further improve the diagnosis of tuberculosis by conducting tests such as sputum, secretions, and bronchial lavage agent pathogens, medical immunology, biochemistry, enzymology, nutrition, and quantitative PCR. This further improves the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that 10% to 15% of tuberculosis patients have concomitant bronchitis and endometrial tuberculosis, especially in chronic chemical fibrosis fissure-type tuberculosis, where the incidence of concomitant bronchitis and endometrial tuberculosis is higher, and the incidence of primary (simple) bronchial tuberculosis has also significantly increased. Primary bronchial tuberculosis refers to tuberculosis that occurs in the bronchial mucosa or submucosal layer, with no significant tuberculosis in both lungs. Because chest X-rays and lung CT scans are all normal, chest CT examination is also difficult to detect, and it is often misdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, causing the disease to progress outside the scope, making treatment very difficult. Bronchoscopy is the best method for diagnosing bronchial tuberculosis.
