Advanced, Minimally Invasive Lung Evaluation
At Pulmonary & Medical Associates, we provide expert bronchoscopy services to diagnose and manage a wide range of lung and airway conditions. This safe, minimally invasive procedure allows our skilled pulmonologists to view your airways in detail and gather the information needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What Is a Bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera—called a bronchoscope—through your nose or mouth into your lungs. This procedure allows your physician to visually examine the airways, identify abnormalities, and, if necessary, collect tissue samples or clear blockages.
When Is Bronchoscopy Recommended?
Your doctor may suggest bronchoscopy if you have:
- A chronic or unexplained cough
- Shortness of breath or wheezing
- Coughing up blood
- Abnormal chest imaging results
- Persistent infections or inflammation
- Signs of lung cancer or airway obstructions
Bronchoscopy also allows for therapeutic procedures such as removing mucus, foreign bodies, or growths.
What to Expect
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes. You’ll receive a sedative or local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Most patients return home the same day with little downtime. Mild throat discomfort may occur briefly after the test.
