Flexible bronchoscopy in the ICU allows for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in mechanically ventilated patients. Understanding the unique challenges of this procedure can minimize complications.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Endoscopy

Background:

  • Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is now feasible for intensive care unit (ICU) patients on mechanical ventilation.
  • The utilization of bronchoscopy in this patient population has significantly increased for various indications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of bronchoscopy in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
  • To highlight the pathophysiological and technical considerations for safe and effective bronchoscopy in this challenging setting.

Main Methods:

  • Review of personal experience and existing literature on bronchoscopy in mechanically ventilated patients.
  • Discussion of specific applications including difficult intubation, atelectasis, hemoptysis, and pneumonia diagnosis.
