I had a bronchoscopy last week. There is NO need to worry for those who are scheduled for the procedure. I was petrified before my exam! But with a skilled doctor, there is no need to worry. The meds that are provided before the procedure will remove ALL anxiety. I am glad that I will finally have a definitive diagnosis next week after wrestling with this problem since the beginning of the year. If you need a bronchoscopy, please do yourself a favor by having it done by a skilled pulmonologist. You won't be disappointed.

Just had a bronchoscopy today. Was a piece of cake. I remember the sedation being given, then I was suddenly in the recovery room. I feel fine now, completely normal in fact. No sore throat even.

It's 3/23/24. Thank you for this video, I'm going to have my Bronchoscopy procedure on 4/2/24 due to cavity and nodules seen on my CT scan. It was a blessing in disguised, me and my husband were rushed to the hospital due to car accident. They took a chest xray and saw something and ordered a CT scan. I'm a non smoker, no single symptoms of TB or Pneumonia. Doctors are ruling out if it's a Lung cancer , that why I would need this procedure done. Please pray for me and for every patient that's dealing with this condition, hoping that its not a Lung cancer🙏

I had a double lung transplant and this procedure is done regularly to check for organ rejection. I am given meds to put me in a twilight sleep, similar to the meds for colonoscopy. They do the procedure through the throat and remove pieces of lung tissue to test. I have never had problems or pain

I just had this done yesterday and they completely knocked me out for it

I had one of these a month ago as after 2 CT Scans and one Pet Scan 4 specialists couldn't tell what the shadow on my Lung was. I was referred to Papworth full of trepidation and fear, only to be greeted by a sensational team who completely understood my feelings and instantly set about easing my fears. After completely going through my previous scans with me ( something no-one had done before ) I was told exactly what was going to happen, prepped with a very small injection, I was wheeled into theater where the nurse administered 2 injections into the throat ( slightly uncomfortable ) the nurse constantly talking and assuring me, then came the throat spray ( tastes Bitter...But is very effective ) as for the insertion and rest of the procedure ( investigation and biopsy ) I felt absolutely nothing, until the final stage, when a biopsy was taken from the lymph nodes in the throat..Before these were taken the surgeon warned me I would feel like gagging, he said feel free to do so ( which I did ) after this the instruments were removed and the procedure was complete. Back in recovery, I was given a sick hat into which i cough up a very small amount of blood. Watched all the time by nurses, I was offered at first a bottle of water, then a sandwich, then a cup of tea...Little did I know they were actually checking my swallow reflex...After I had devoured all the food and drink, the nurse said right ill get your discharge paperwork together. I was admitted into the hospital at 07.30 and left at 11.30. Thanks to this procedure, it has now been determined, that I has a 3cm cancerous growth on my left Lung, which is operable. The original chest X-ray I had showed nothing, 2 ct scans just confused the situation, and the pet scan gave a little more detail. Thanks to this very simple and safe investigation technic, It has hopefully saved my life.

I just had one 3 days ago. Cake walk. Piece of pie. Take the sedation and presto! No memories of it. Don’t believe negative comments, it’s in the pocket.

Prefessional and comprehensible. Thanks from Sweden

Got one tomorrow after 4+ months of pneumonia that just won't go away. Thanks for posting this video.

Guys I just want to say that I had my bronchoscopy a few weeks ago and it was a literal piece of cake. Besides all the negative comments there’s no need to worry. Since healthcare has developed so much I was put under anaesthetic the whole time. And when I woke up I couldn’t feel a thing. The only bit that hurt a little was the drip although they did put numbing cream. Sometimes they may put a small tube through your nose into your stomach but that’s also under anaesthetic. When you wake up they just pull it out (you can’t feel a thing.) There’s nothing to worry about.

Thank you for this video. I am scheduled for a broncoscopy in a few days and this was very helpful in knowing what to expect.

All you folks saying it was a piece of cake and a blessing good for you. Not everyone is as lucky I guess. My doctor caused my lung to collapse and the pain has been unreal.

Excellent Explanation and very Professional procedure......

Very detailed explanation, now I know more about bronchoscopy.

So helpful , thank you sir

Thank you for uploading this. It is very helpful.

I have plastic Bronchitis a rare lung disease. Have had this done. I did have pain from lung biopsies.

Just had my appointment today at NHS... As soon as they gave me the anesthetic I fell sleep, woke up in the recovery room... A little sore throat but not even 5% like what I expected

thank you for thix video- Ive been recently diagnosed with an autoimmune lung disorder they dont know what is ( edging towards sarcoidosis with my eyes being inflammed) and never been sick in my life this procedure had me terrified- you helped my anxiety a LOT! so that you for this video

God why to bear all these pain😭😭 i have had done this and i nearly died coz my breath was stoped for 6 sec becoz of pressure they used into my lung pipe.. by mistakely i nearly died i lost my hope that. I would come back... But thanks to god and the doc who was there to monitor my oxygen level... And one thing i say is diet is very important for this desease

had the second one yesterday i couldnt eat the night before after 12:00. I was totally out i felt nothing . I had pain in my throat for a few days. I am glad its over

I had it done many years ago and it wasn't bad test.

thank u....this vedio...worth..

I also done Last week on 27 April no need to worry

this is very painful and may have many complications, causing lung bleeding.I did not get anesthetic, but I'm happy survive. a lot of strength for my comrades

I had a broncoscopy couple of years ago, I wasn't out of it had no sedation and although no pain the sheer panic I felt when that tube went down was horrifying, never again

I had one today. No problems far easier than I imagined

They did this on me and punctured my lung. I was in intensive care after for 5 days.

Oh goodness 🥺 I'm watching this and reading the comments as I'm due to have one next week. I'm terrified. I put it off until middle of January. Mines just a Endoscopy

My husband is getting this done tomorrow morning to find out why he has been bleeding and spitting up from his lungs.hoping everything will be okay.

thank u 4 posting this video but what the pt. shoe do in the theater room?? even it 4 demonistration

I almost had it last week at King's Lynn hospital but I escaped from the room, it was a torture, nothing like on this video.

Good information Dr

I had that done to me yesterday.Trough nose.

What happen if they use sterile water instead of normal saline for lavage to suction?

I wish u had bronchoscopy because I've been having breathing difficulties and chest pains but yeah my gp in Glasgow doesn't even do anything

Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$

would love if this video had proper closed captioning, if not for accessibility, then at least for knowing how to spell certain technical terms used

I have an appointment for this monday... I'm so scared.. 😢😢

Is ir painful?? A 60 year old can bear this procedure??

I had a bronchoscopy two days ago. I'm in so much pain like my whole entire body hurts so bad. I feel like I was hit by a truck full speed! Is that normal? I can't even cough, sneeze, nor blow my nose cause my chest and abdomen hurt so bad. I can't sleep cause I can't barely move. 😩 someone tell me if this is normal?

Does one have pain and sore throat and more cough after bronkoscopy, i am having it

I was told I should have this done but I’m such a chicken when it comes to my lungs! I’ve been diagnosed with emphysema but I’m putting the excess mucus down to my sinusitis. I fear I won’t be able to get away from this procedure for too long 😬😬😬😬

Look so scary procedure, my husband in hospital with Pneumonia and his going to do this procedure today,

My daughter had just yesterday she’s good nothing to about worry Its safe procedure

probably ok when you are sedated but not nice if not,like in the uk

I had a blocked bronc. They put a firecracker down there and blowed the shit out. Now I can tell I feal better.

I’m here bc I have to have it done on Jan 3, 2022 and I’ll terrified 😥
