ABSTRACT

Case history: In their new modalities (direct and indirect video-bronchoscopy), the flexible bronchoscopy has become consolidated as an elementary tool in diagnosing tracheobronchial diseases. Materials and methods: Retrospective study carried out in the Betania Hospital of Puebla, analyzing the performing of indirect video-bronchoscopies on 50 patients during the period going from January 1994 to March 1996. There were found no complications associated to the procedure. Conclusions: Indirect video-bronchoscopy is a useful study in tracheobronchial pathology. It was not associated to complications in the studied population.

KEYWORDS

Complications, tracheobronchial pathology, indirect videobronchoscopy.
