Abstract

The ventilating bronchoscopy is an effective modality for diagnosis and treatment of bronchial foreign bodies and bronchopulmonary diseases. The authors analyzed medical history, roentgenogram, and operative findings of 12 cases of diagnostic ventilating bronchoscopy from January 1985 to December 1989 in Guro Hospital, Korea University for evaluation of the efficacy of the ventilating bronchoscopy.

The ventilating bronchoscopy was useful in diagnosis and treatment of the children who had the chronic bronchopulmonary disease refractory to the conservative management.
Even in the adults who were uncoorperative or inadequate for flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy due to heavy hemoptysis or secretion, the ventilating bronchoscopy was useful in diagnosis and treatment.
