It may be used to evaluate many specific bronchopulmonary diseases which include airway overseas bodies, tumours, infectious and inflammatory conditions, airway stenosis, and bronchopulmonary haemorrhage. Traditionally, options for assessment were limited to bendy and rigid bronchoscopy. Recently, extra state-of-the-art technology has led to the development of endo-bronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB). Those technological advances, blended with increasing company experience have led to a better diagnostic yield with endoscopic biopsies. This assessment wills awareness on the role of bronchoscopy, such as EBUS, ENB, and rigid bronchoscopy in the prognosis of bronchopulmonary sicknesses. Further, it'll cover the anaesthetic issues, device, diagnostic yield, and capability complications.
