Abstract
Bronchoscopy and tracheostomy have been developed over time. Tracheostomy is one of the most common procedures in intensive care units (ICUs), and bronchoscopy is crucial in the study of respiratory diseases. Among the different types of bronchoscopy, flexible bronchoscopy is the most widely used technique, although there are other types, such as rigid and ultrasound-guided bronchoscopy. There are diagnostic and therapeutic indications for performing bronchoscopy. One of the most common, within the ICU, is to aid percutaneous tracheostomy. Others indications include evaluation of complications after respiratory tract surgery, including tracheostomy; aspiration, collection, and tracheobronchial biopsies; aspiration of foreign bodies; evaluation of the adequacy of the tracheostomy cannula; part of the protocol for tracheostomy decannulation; and diagnosis of synchronic and metachronous lesions of the distal airways. Even with the aid of new imaging innovations, such as virtual endoscopy, bronchoscopy remains the golden standard in evaluation and planning for treatment of respiratory tract diseases, especially laryngotracheal stenosis after tracheal intubation or posttracheostomy.
