Bronchoscopy is a specialized diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to examine your airways and lungs. At maAx Super Speciality Hospital, we use advanced flexible bronchoscopes to look inside the windpipe (trachea) and the smaller air passages (bronchi) to identify the root cause of respiratory issues.
Using high-definition imaging technology, our pulmonologists are able to visualize airway inflammation, infections, or abnormalities in real-time. This minimally invasive technique is essential for precise lung assessment, enabling our team to provide targeted treatment and interventions.

Bronchoscopy may be advised when symptoms suggest underlying lung disease or when a detailed view of the airway is required. Common indications include:
Early evaluation through Bronchoscopy services can help prevent lung complications and guide appropriate pulmonary care.
Bronchoscopy procedures are performed by experienced pulmonologists in a sterile, closely monitored environment.
A local anesthetic is typically sprayed into the throat to numb the area, and mild sedation is used to ensure patient comfort. A thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope is then gently inserted through the nose or mouth and guided into the windpipe and air passages.
As the scope moves through the airways, real-time images are projected onto a monitor. This allows the physician to inspect the lungs thoroughly and, if necessary, take fluid or tissue samples during the same session.
Bronchoscopy is a well-established and safe procedure performed under strict clinical protocols. Our medical team continuously monitors oxygen levels and vitals throughout the process.
Patients receive clear guidance on preparation, such as fasting, before the procedure. After the examination, patients are observed in a recovery area until the effects of the sedative wear off.
Recovery is usually quick, though patients may experience a mild sore throat or temporary cough. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 24 hours.
