Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) is an invasive procedure that has been used for a long time for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It contains a light source, fiber optics, and a camera that allows direct visualization of the upper and lower airways [1].

2024年7月2日 · Flexible bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows a clinician to examine the breathing passages (airways) of the lungs (figure 1). Flexible bronchoscopy can be either a diagnostic procedure (to find out more about a possible problem) or a therapeutic procedure (to try to treat an existing problem).

2024年1月9日 · A doctor may recommend a flexible bronchoscopy if they believe a person has a respiratory condition, such as an infection, lung spots, or bleeding. This article discusses fiberoptic...

Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is the traditional technique for securing an airway in an awake, spontaneously breathing patient with a known or anticipated difficult airway. The fiberoptic bronchoscope uses thin (fiberoptic) cables to transmit light to the airway structures and the image of the airway structures back to the video screen.

1973年8月1日 · The flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope has become an invaluable diagnostic and therapeutic instrument in the management of pulmonary disease. Advantages over the conventional rigid bronchoscope include airway examination to the subsegmental level, increased accuracy of diagnosis in pulmonary malignancy, patient comfort, ease of bedside ...

2023年9月20日 · Flexible bronchoscopy is a procedure that visualizes the lumen and mucosa of the trachea, proximal and distal airways. It can be used to diagnose or treat abnormalities within or adjacent to these airways. The indications and contraindications of flexible bronchoscopy are discussed in this topic.

1973年5月1日 · We have confirmed Ikeda’s observations on the ease of use and advantages of flexible tube bronchoscopy and are presenting our techniques and an analysis of our first 100 bronchoscopies with a flexible fiberoptic instrument. A fiberoptic bundle is made up of several thousand closely packed glass fibers, about 10 µ in diameter.

2015年2月2日 · Core tip: Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) is effective and safe for diagnostic and therapeutic use among critically ill pediatric patients. FFB led to change in management in 28.9% of patients, with a diagnostic yield of 82%.

2020年11月3日 · Flexible bronchoscope may be fibre optic, video or hybrid systems; diagnose diseases of the tracheobronchial tree (e.g. burns, tumours); obtain lung samples

2020年10月24日 · Objective Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) has become an essential procedure for diagnosing and managing various respiratory conditions. We aimed to assess the main indications, diagnostic yield, and safety of FFB in our institute.
