A bronchoscopy is an endoscopic medical procedure for looking inside the airways (bronchi) and the lungs. It involves inserting a bronchoscope—a narrow tube that has a light and a camera on one end—through the nose or mouth and guiding it down through the trachea (windpipe) in order to get an internal view of the respiratory system. It may be done to diagnose a disease or condition such as lung cancer or infection or to treat a medical problem such as a foreign object that's lodged in the airways.
There are two types of bronchoscopy. The most common uses a flexible bronchoscope and requires on local anesthesia and a light sedative. Less often a rigid bronchoscope, which is thicker than a flexible one and typically made of metal, is necessary. In that case, a patient must be under general anesthesia in an operating room.
