Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Respiratory endoscopy is crucial for diagnosing pediatric airway conditions.
  • Rigid bronchoscopy is a common procedure in pediatric care.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rigid pediatric bronchoscopy.
  • To identify common indications and diagnoses associated with the procedure.

Summary:

  • 356 rigid bronchoscopies were performed on children over three years.
  • Common indications included stridor, foreign body, atelectasis, and difficult tracheal extubation.
  • Laryngomalacia and subglottic stenosis were frequent diagnoses, alongside foreign bodies and tracheomalacia.

Impact:

  • Rigid bronchoscopy is confirmed as an efficient and safe procedure for pediatric airway evaluation.
