A fiberoptic bronchoscope is a telescope with a long, flexible tube made of fiber optic material and a small light at the end. The fiber optic material consists of flexible glass fibers that can ...

A biopsy performed during a bronchoscopy is also called a bronchoscopy with a lung biopsy or a fiber-optic bronchoscopy with a lung biopsy. Outpatient bronchoscopy is usually well-tolerated.

These lesions are positioned in the smaller sub-divisions of the bronchus away from the main tracheobronchial tree, and imaging of them is challenging with a conventional fiber-optic bronchoscope.

This approach utilises a flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope to visualise the airway, facilitating the placement of an endotracheal tube while the patient remains conscious and breathing spontaneously.

The recall spans more than 17,600 bronchoscopes distributed in the U.S. since 2001, including flexible, fiber-optic systems and video camera-equipped devices used to visualize a patient’s airway ...
