Bronchoscopy - Vancouver General Hospital
Bronchoscopy is a procedure which utilizes a thin scope with a camera on the end to take samples of tissue or secretions from the lungs. It can also take pictures or remove foreign objects. Other reasons why patients may require bronchoscopy include:
to collect a tissue or cell sample
to collect a fluid or sputum sample
to locate areas that may be bleeding
to help diagnose infections, or pulmonary edema
to diagnose lung problems of undetermined cause
