Specification

Definition:

Bronchoscopy is a kind of oral or nasal insertion into the lower respiratory tract of patients. It is used for the observation, biopsy sampling, bacteriological and cytological examination of pulmonary lobe, segmental and sub-segmental bronchial lesions. With the TV system, it can perform photography, teaching and dynamic Recorded medical devices. Through the connected biopsy sampling accessory, it can assist in the detection of early lesions, and can carry out internal surgical procedures such as polyp removal. It is suitable for bronchial, lung disease research and post-operative examinations.


History:

In 1897, German scientist Killian used an esophagoscope to remove foreign bodies from organs. Rigid bronchoscopes have been used for 70 years and require general anesthesia.

In 1964, the standard fiberoptic bronchoscope made by OLYMPUS Company in Japan was officially named as FLEXIBLE BRONCHOFIBROSCOPE in 1967, which can be operated under local anesthesia.

In the 1980s, the electronic bronchoscope was born and applied. In February 1987, the world's first electronic flexible bronchoscope was launched. The bronchoscopy doctor operates against the screen rather than the eyepieces.

Status: At present, various types of endoscopes coexist. The science of bronchial intervention is booming. The application rate of bronchoscopy interventional therapy technology in tertiary first-class hospitals reaches 100%, and it can also reach 50% in second-class hospitals.
