Bronchoscopy has become an indispensable tool in modern respiratory medicine, offering direct visualization of the airways and enabling both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. A bronchoscopy consultant is trained to perform and interpret procedures ranging from flexible bronchoscopy for routine airway evaluation to advanced techniques such as endobronchial ultrasound-guided sampling and navigational bronchoscopy for peripheral lesions. Within the scope of Bronchoscopy Consultant, these procedures assist in identifying tumors, infections, airway obstructions, and inflammatory conditions with a level of precision unattainable by non-invasive methods. The consultant also plays a critical role in interventional bronchoscopy, including stent placement, laser therapy, and bronchial thermoplasty, which can alleviate airway obstruction and improve patient outcomes. Collaboration with thoracic surgeons, radiologists, and anesthesiologists ensures that complex cases are managed safely and efficiently, optimizing both procedural success and patient comfort. Patient preparation and post-procedure care are integral components, encompassing sedation protocols, airway monitoring, and guidance for recovery and follow-up. Advances in technology, including high-definition imaging, 3D navigation, and robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, continue to expand the consultant’s ability to reach previously inaccessible regions of the lung. By combining technical expertise with comprehensive patient support, a bronchoscopy consultant enables precise diagnosis, targeted therapy, and improved airway function, contributing to enhanced respiratory care and informed clinical decision-making.
