What to look for in a bronchoscopy

Cooperate with the doctor before the bronchoscopy examination to check the contraindications, fasting 4 hours before the examination, and prohibiting water for the first 2 hours. Inform the doctor of any discomfort during the examination and do not eat for 2 hours after the examination.
1. Before the examination: before the examination, patients need to actively cooperate with the doctor to perform blood pressure, blood routine, lung function and other related tests. If necessary, chest CT examination can be performed in order to clarify the location of lesions and check the contraindications, etc., so as to ensure that the bronchoscopy examination is carried out smoothly. People should be fasted 4 hours before the bronchoscopy, and water should be prohibited 2 hours before the examination to prevent choking during the examination.
2. During the examination: Cooperate with the medical personnel during the examination and avoid talking to cause vocal cord injury. If the examination process is accompanied by chest pain, palpitations and other symptoms of discomfort, you need to signal the medical staff to stop the examination in time to prevent accidents.
3. After the examination: Since the patient will take local anesthesia during the bronchoscopy examination, the patient should avoid eating or drinking water within 2 hours after the examination to prevent choking due to the effect of local anesthesia.
It is recommended to consult a regular hospital for bronchoscopy to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
