Pediatric Bronchoscopy – Specialized Care for Children’s Airways
Specialized Care for Children’s Airways
Children with airway disorders require highly specialized care, as their respiratory system is delicate and still developing. Pediatric bronchoscopy is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that helps diagnose and treat a variety of airway and lung conditions in infants and children.
Common Conditions Requiring Pediatric Bronchoscopy:
- ✔ Foreign body aspiration – Small objects (food particles, beads, toys) accidentally inhaled into the lungs.
- ✔ Congenital airway abnormalities – Birth defects affecting the windpipe or bronchi.
- ✔ Persistent wheezing or noisy breathing – To determine if there is a structural airway issue.
- ✔ Chronic cough of unknown cause – Helps identify underlying lung infections or conditions like aspiration pneumonia.
- ✔ Stridor (high-pitched breathing sound) – Diagnosing airway obstructions or abnormalities.
Types of Pediatric Bronchoscopy:
- ✔ Flexible Bronchoscopy – A thin, flexible tube is inserted to visualize the airways and collect samples.
- ✔ Rigid Bronchoscopy – Used for removing large foreign objects or treating complex airway conditions.
Why Pediatric Bronchoscopy?
- ✔ Safe and effective for children with respiratory issues.
- ✔ Helps detect airway problems early, leading to better treatment outcomes.
- ✔ Performed with advanced anesthesia techniques to ensure child comfort.
