Bronchoscopy

In our clinic in Kiev bronchoscopy is performed for direct examination of the internal surface of trachea and bronchi. This method of study is prescribed after radiography if the cause of poor patient health is not found during it. Bronchoskopia is used for:

1. Detection of the cause of cough that did not pass after treatment.
2. Obtaining biobaterial of animals with bronchitis or pneumonia is necessary for his further research in the laboratory.
3. Determine the cause of bleeding and blood circulation.
4. Confirmation of the collapse of the trachea and determination of its degree.
5. Clarification of diagnoses made after other types of diagnostics: bronchial asthma, tumor, pleural disease.
6. Removing the external bodies from the respiratory tract.

Bronchoscopy is a safe method of diagnosis, during which the animal does not feel anything, because it is under general anesthesia.

Preparation of the animal for bronchoscopy

We have the best veterinarians in Kiev, who strive to prevent complications during the examination of lungs. To do this, first a radiologic examination of the organs of the chest cavity, the parameters obtained during electrocardiography are discussed, and the results of blood analyzes are discussed. The need for additional diagnostics is determined by our veterinarian-endoscopy in cooperation with the anesthesiologist.

For 12 hours before the animal procedure can not be fed. This is necessary to reduce the risk of gastric contents entering the respiratory tract while the patient is under anesthesia.

The course of bronchoscopy

Bronchoskopia gives an opportunity to assess the condition of the mucous membrane, as well as the passage of trachea and bronchi. Flexible endoscopes are introduced into the passage of trachea and bronchi. The examination takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes. Then the endoscope carefully extracts, and the animal wakes up. Most pets can return home when the effect of anesthesia wears off.
