Veterinary Medicine
Pulmonology
Surgical Procedures

Context:

Bronchoscopy is an advanced diagnostic and therapeutic tool in small animal medicine.
Accurate indications are crucial for this invasive procedure in veterinary patients.
The technique involves specialized equipment for visualizing and intervening within the airways.

Purpose:

To detail the indications for performing bronchoscopy in dogs and cats.
To describe the necessary equipment and performance techniques for veterinary bronchoscopy.
To highlight the diagnostic and sampling capabilities of the procedure.

Summary:

This abstract outlines the indications for performing bronchoscopy in veterinary medicine, emphasizing its invasive nature.
Key indications include chronic cough of non-cardiac origin, foreign body retrieval, parasitic invasion, laryngeal paralysis, and tumor removal.
The procedure allows for direct visualization of the tracheobronchial tree and collection of diagnostic samples.

Impact:

Provides essential information for veterinarians considering bronchoscopy in canine and feline patients.
