    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology and Emergency Medicine
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • The flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope offers a minimally invasive approach for airway examination and intervention.
    • Emergency departments face diverse acute conditions requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • A study evaluated the utility of the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope in 14 emergency department cases over two years.
    • Procedures included foreign body retrieval from the trachea and esophagus, and challenging endotracheal intubations.

    Findings:

    • Successful foreign body removal from the trachea and esophagus was achieved.
    • The bronchoscope facilitated difficult endotracheal intubations, including in patients with cervical deformities.
    • It was also used for evaluating laryngeal/tracheal injuries, posterior nasal bleeding, hemoptysis, and smoke inhalation injuries.
