Bronchoscopy

[mandshere2012]

Hi, as anyone had a Bronchoscopy before and can tell me what it was like....I was supposed to have one yesterday but was to scared to have it done:weep:
the part that worried me was being told they would have to freeze my throat and lungs before the camera went up my nose and down my throat.

I work in surgery in the US, and ive assisted with many bronchoscopies. The patient is sedated here I'm uncertain if you can do one with the patient unsedated. Its an easy procedure and ussually takes about 30 to 40 mins.We have an anesthesiologist there monitoring o2 levels and bp and pulse. Its a piece of cake
