Rigid Bronchoscopy – Advanced Airway Management
Expert Care for Complex Airway Conditions
Rigid bronchoscopy is a specialized procedure using a rigid metal bronchoscope to examine and treat conditions affecting the trachea and bronchi (airways leading to the lungs). It is particularly useful for complex airway interventions that require precision and control.
Indications for Rigid Bronchoscopy:
- ✔ Foreign body removal – Essential for extracting objects accidentally inhaled into the lungs.
- ✔ Airway tumor management – Removing or reducing tumors that block the airways.
- ✔ Severe airway bleeding (massive hemoptysis) – Identifying and controlling the source of bleeding.
- ✔ Tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe) – Dilating and restoring airway function.
- ✔ Stent placement for airway obstruction – Keeping the airway open in cases of severe narrowing.
Advantages of Rigid Bronchoscopy:
- ✔ More effective for large foreign body removal compared to flexible bronchoscopy.
- ✔ Essential for severe airway blockages caused by tumors or strictures.
- ✔ Offers better airway control for critical interventions.
- ✔ Can be combined with laser therapy or stenting to restore airflow.
