In general, the length of hospitalization after a bronchoscopy is mainly related to the type of disease and the type of treatment required. If foreign bodies are removed under bronchoscopy or alveolar lavage is done under bronchoscopy, the patient can usually be discharged after 1~2 days if there is no special discomfort. However, if the underlying disease is more complicated, such as tuberculosis or lung space occupation, it usually takes a longer time.
Bronchoscopy is applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. If bronchoscopy is used for the removal of bronchial foreign bodies, bronchoscopy for alveolar lavage and other examinations, the patient can be discharged from the hospital 1~2 days after the operation if there is no special discomfort, but if there is a combination of respiratory infections and other diseases, the specific time of discharge needs to be combined with the treatment of the underlying diseases.
If the patient suffers from more serious diseases, such as bronchial stenosis caused by bronchial tuberculosis, it is necessary to be treated under bronchoscopy, and only one treatment may not achieve good results, generally speaking, it is necessary to be hospitalized for 1~2 weeks, and pay attention to the regular review at the same time.
If the patient has respiratory tract occupying lesions, after tracheoscopy, timely surgical treatment or radiotherapy should be carried out, and the condition will be stabilized before being discharged from the hospital, and the exact time cannot be determined.
After tracheoscopy exploration should pay attention to two hours can not eat or drink anything, two hours later, first drink a small amount of water, if there is no choking, and then eat a small amount of food gradually return to normal.
