Bronchoscopy Price in Bangladesh

What is Bronchoscopy?

Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the airways and lungs. During the procedure, a bronchoscope (a flexible tube with a light and camera) is inserted through the nose or mouth into the lungs.

It allows doctors to visually inspect the airways, take tissue samples (biopsies), remove obstructions, or perform treatments such as draining fluids or clearing blockages. Preparation typically includes fasting for several hours and possible sedation or local anesthesia.

Risks include bleeding, infection, or injury to the airways. After the procedure, patients may experience a sore throat, cough, or mild discomfort, with most recovering within a few hours.

What to expect & how to prepare

This is an interventional procedure carried out by a specialist doctor, not a walk-in laboratory test. The doctor performing it will explain the steps, the sedation or anaesthesia used, and the recovery time before you give written consent.

• Referral: bring the referral or advice from the doctor who requested this procedure, along with earlier reports and imaging.
• Fasting and medication: fasting time and instructions about blood thinners, diabetes medicines or other drugs come from the performing doctor and are specific to this procedure — follow those instructions, not general lab advice.
• Consent: you will be asked for written informed consent, and you can ask about risks and alternatives before signing.
• Companion: if sedation is planned, arrange for someone to travel home with you.

Interventional procedures carry procedure-specific risks. Discuss your medical history, allergies, pregnancy status and current medicines with the performing doctor beforehand.

Performed by a specialist team; a doctor's referral is normally required.
