Therapeutic Bronchoscopy
Respiratory Medicine
Therapeutic bronchoscopy offers several therapeutic options without requiring rigid bronchoscopy.
Applications
| Foreign Body Removal | A common application, enabling the safe extraction of objects causing airway obstruction. |
| Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) | Achieved by delivering an electrical current through ionized argon gas, effectively coagulating bleeding vessels. |
| Cryotherapy Treats Mucosal Dysplasia | By freezing and destroying abnormal tissue. |
| Bronchial Thermoplasty | Helps manage severe asthma by reducing overgrown smooth muscle in the airways. |
| Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction (BLVR) | Treats COPD by using valves or vapor to redirect airflow, improving lung function. |
These techniques provide targeted interventions, reducing the need for invasive procedures and promoting faster recovery. Therapeutic bronchoscopy is a valuable tool in respiratory medicine, offering effective treatments while minimizing patient discomfort and supporting improved outcomes.
