Trying to learn about bronchoscopies
would this be a flexible bronch 31622
the flexible bronchoscope was inserted into the tracheostomy and guided down into the trachea. The carina was visualized. The right mainstem bronchus was intubated. The orifice of the right upper lobe bronchus was identified. There were no gross lesions. The bronchus intermedius was intubated. The orifice of the right lower lobe and right middle lobe bronchi were identified and free from gross lesion. All right airways to the level of the segmental bronchi were serially investigated and found to be free of gross pathology. The bronchoscope was then returned to the carina and the left mainstem bronchus intubated. The orifice of the left upper and lower lobe bronchi and free of any gross lesion. All left airways were then serially investigated and found to be free of gross pathology. The airways were suctioned clear and the bronchoscope withdrawn from the patient.
