Summary:

Bronchoscopy is one of the most commonly performed medical procedures and also defines the procedural practice of chest physicians and surgeons. Introduction to Bronchoscopy is a roadmap for any physician looking to master or improve skills in this important area. The authors, who are all experts in the field, outline a standard approach to common procedures and cover everything from anatomy and equipment care to how to set up a bronchoscopy unit. Step-by-step descriptions and abundant illustrations provide detailed instructions for performing diagnostic procedures such as bronchial washing and lavage, lung biopsy, and transbronchial needle aspiration. Also discussed are bronchoscopy in the ICU and lung transplant patients, and advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy and basic therapeutic techniques are reviewed in the final two chapters.
