Program Description:

The Pediatric Flexible Bronchoscopy Service is valuable for the diagnosis and/or treatment of a number of pediatric pulmonary conditions. Some of these conditions may include those associated with stridor, such as laryngomalacia, laryngotracheomalacia and subglottic edema. Flexible bronchoscopy is used for the work-up of wheezing not responsive to bronchodilators, suspected airway compression, tracheostomy evaluation and suspected foreign body.

Flexible bronchoscopy is especially valuable for the diagnosis of infections, such as pneumonia that is persistent or recurrent, for HIV infections and for the treatment of atelectasis. The findings and therapeutic options are closely coordinated with the referring physician.
