Bronchoscopy is an important tool in the study of the airway. Diagnostic and therapeutic uses are well described in the literature and standardisation of the technique is well defined. Most relevant publications on bronchoscopy come from Europe and the United States, and in some countries they are used as guidelines for local hospitals. In spite of the limited experience published from South America, and the scarcity of financial resources, important information and research pathways have been developed in paediatric bronchoscopy. The information in this review was compiled from local publications, case reports, review articles, brief reports and congress presentations to provide an overview and share the experience about bronchoscopy in South American children.
支气管镜检查是气道研究中的一项重要工具。其诊断和治疗用途在文献中有详尽描述，且该技术的标准化也有明确界定。关于支气管镜检查的大多数相关出版物来自欧洲和美国，在一些国家，它们被用作当地医院的指导方针。尽管南美洲发表的经验有限，且财政资源匮乏，但儿科支气管镜检查已形成了重要的信息和研究路径。本综述中的信息是从当地出版物、病例报告、综述文章、简短报告和大会发言中收集而来，旨在提供一个概述，并分享南美洲儿童支气管镜检查的经验。
