All About Bronchoscopy

- Bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the airways using a bronchoscope (a thin flexible tube with a video camera attached to its end).
Why do I need this procedure?
The lungs can be affected by many disorders such as infections and cancer. This test has been recommended to assist your doctor in finding out the cause of your lung condition. Washings from lung segments, or a biopsy may be necessary. Common reasons for a Bronchoscopy are to evaluate infection, lung opacity on chest imaging, or haemoptysis (coughing out blood).
What does it involve?
You have to fast for at least 4-6 hours before Bronchoscopy is performed. You will be given intravenous sedation and pain relief before the procedure. An anaesthetic gel and spray will also be applied to your nose and the back of your throat to numb the area so that you are less likely to gag when the bronchoscope is introduced. The Bronchoscope will be gently introduced either through your mouth or nose. It is then advanced slowly down the back of the throat through the vocal cords and into the airways. In some cases, it may be necessary to instil fluid into affected lung segments and collect the washings, or take a tissue sample (biopsy) for examination. The entire procedure usually takes between 15 - 45 minutes.

I had the procedure today. A little cough and headache. Was done at 7:30AM today. My jaws started hurting bad about 10PM. I know now that the mouth piece is very tight across your mouth. That is probably why I hurt. Thanks for the video!
Just had a bronchoscopy today. Was a piece of cake. I remember the sedation being given, then I was suddenly in the recovery room. I feel fine now, completely normal in fact. No sore throat even.
Do u feel the camera going down I’m hving it with mild sedation why do t think knock u out completely
@@crystalslade1318 I didn’t feel anything. After they put the sedation through the iv I was out until the recovery room. Best of luck.
@@Sarahlovexox was it full sedation ? I’ve bin told I’m getting mild sedation what ever that is
@@crystalslade1318 ya they called mine mild too, but they say you don’t remember anything. So it feels like you slept through the whole thing.
@@Sarahlovexox how strange so we’re u aware of what went on ? I think I’d rather be completely asleep I’m terrified I’ve never had any procedures
I just had my third bronchoscopy today and I’ve had general anesthesia with all 3 of mine so I was completely sedated and intubated. My first and second were more painful and the one today wasn’t as bad except for some shortness of breath afterwards. With the first one I had a chryobronch (where they freeze the area to get samples) and with the second one I woke up just as they were taking the ET tube out. Here is hoping for no bad news.
How much is this procedure in sg . Anybody can reply thanks
Rough recovery but I’m getting there !
I had this, they said its painless and they were right but its still worst examination there is in this planet, you feel like you cannot breath and choke to death.
Do you live in the UK or Australia? They tend to do bronchs with only lidocaine spray. I couldn’t do it that way.
hi
i have 3 year experience bronchscopy and rigid bronchscopy.
i had one 2 days ago and my throat has been hurting to the point i cant talk but the actual thing was easy i am just being honest
Can bronchoscopy done in 5 minutes because my doctor said it will be about 5 minutes. Is it true?
Yes my Endoscopy was Done in like 6 to 7 minutes but don't know about Bronchoscopy
That great! but i have a question for you, What kind of medicine did you take for sedation? and how dosage? thank you!
i am a doctor! :)
It's a combo of stuff including fentynil I think....dopes you up big time. It's stuff they use to do procedures where you don't have to be put under, but just totally out of it.
@@powermetal26 I get it in one week terrified
For me, (Swedish names) Petidin (opioid) and Medazolam (bensodiazepine). and Xylocain for numbing. They wanted to give me Morphine but I'm a Methadone patient so could not take that.
What if the patient has trouble swallowing a week later after the procedure?
Thank u
