  • Title: The flexible bronchofiberscope in the intensive care unit (ICU)--the optimal postoperative care for the bronchial system.
    Author: Groitl H.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1981 May; 13(3):100-3. PubMed ID: 7238425.
    Abstract:
    Since 1974 about 6000 flexible bronchoscopies have been performed for early postoperative diagnostic and therapeutic reasons. Bronchoscopic suction is easy, quick, highly effective and does not provoke any epithelial changes. Indications for immediate bronchoscopic suction are suspected aspiration, deterioration in blood gas values, changes in the chest x-ray. Every ICU should be equipped with a flexible bronchoscope for immediate use.
