Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is employed extensively in the examination of patients with pulmonary disease. As demonstrated in this large series, the procedure can be performed safely and efficiently on an outpatient basis, with the use of only topical anesthesia. Discomfort is minimal and readily accepted by most patients. Bronchial biopsies of suspected neoplastic lesions can be performed without difficulty. Outpatient bronchoscopy in an appropriate clinical setting can hasten the medical evaluation without compromising patient care.
纤维支气管镜检查在肺部疾病患者的检查中被广泛应用。正如这个大样本系列所表明的，该操作仅使用局部麻醉就可以在门诊安全、有效地进行。不适很轻微，大多数患者很容易接受。对疑似肿瘤性病变进行支气管活检并不困难。在适当的临床环境中进行门诊支气管镜检查可以加快医学评估，而不会影响患者护理。
