Bronchoscopy in Tagore Garden, Delhi
Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible camera. At Breathe Better Clinic, Dr. Davinder Kundra provides expert evaluation and bronchoscopic care when clinically required.
Understanding Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows a pulmonologist to examine the inside of the airways using a thin, flexible tube with a camera called a bronchoscope.
It can help evaluate various lung and airway conditions, investigate unexplained respiratory symptoms, identify abnormalities, and collect tissue or fluid samples when required.
Common Reasons for Bronchoscopy
A bronchoscopy may be recommended when a closer examination of the airways or lungs is needed to identify the cause of respiratory problems or investigate abnormal findings.
Persistent or Unexplained Cough
A cough that lasts for an extended period without a clear cause may require further respiratory evaluation.
Coughing Up Blood
Blood in the cough or sputum can be a concerning symptom that should be assessed promptly by a respiratory specialist.
Abnormal Chest X-ray or CT Scan
Unusual findings on chest imaging may require further evaluation to identify the underlying lung condition.
Recurrent Lung Infections
Frequent or repeated lung infections may indicate an underlying respiratory problem that needs detailed assessment.
Lung Nodules or Lesions
Nodules or abnormal areas detected in the lungs may require further investigation and monitoring to determine their cause.
Airway Blockage or Abnormalities
Narrowed, blocked, or abnormal airways can affect breathing and may require specialized evaluation and treatment.
Symptoms That May Require Bronchoscopy
Certain persistent or unexplained respiratory symptoms may require further investigation. After a clinical evaluation, your pulmonologist may recommend bronchoscopy when appropriate.
Persistent Cough
A cough that continues for several weeks or keeps returning may indicate an underlying respiratory condition requiring evaluation.
Coughing Up Blood
Coughing up blood or blood-stained mucus can be a concerning symptom that should be medically assessed promptly.
Unexplained Breathlessness
Breathing difficulty without an obvious cause may indicate an underlying lung or airway problem that needs evaluation.
Persistent Wheezing
Ongoing wheezing or a whistling sound while breathing may occur due to narrowed or obstructed airways.
Recurrent Respiratory Infections
Frequent chest or respiratory infections may suggest an underlying lung condition requiring further investigation.
Unexplained Chest Symptoms
Persistent chest discomfort, tightness, or unusual sensations may require a detailed respiratory assessment to identify the cause.

A flexible, lighted bronchoscope is used to examine the airways and lungs and help identify abnormalities.
Airway examination
The airways are carefully examined for inflammation, narrowing, blockage, bleeding, or other abnormalities.
Collection of respiratory or tissue samples
Respiratory secretions or tissue samples may be collected when needed for laboratory testing and accurate diagnosis.
EBUS when clinically indicated
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) may be used to examine structures around the airways and guide sampling of lymph nodes when required.
