Explore & Treat Lung Conditions with Precision

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to directly view the lungs and airways. At APIC, we offer both diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy using advanced Olympus fiber optic technology, under the care of Dr. Asim Ahmed Qureshi (FRCP, MRCP UK, CCT UK) — an expert pulmonologist with global credentials.

🔬 What is Bronchoscopy?

A bronchoscope—a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera and light—is inserted through the nose or mouth, passing through the throat and into the lungs. This provides a live, high-resolution view of the airways, helping to identify and treat a variety of lung issues.

For more complex cases (like significant bleeding or a blocked airway), a rigid bronchoscope may be used.

✅ When is Bronchoscopy Recommended?

• Persistent or unexplained chronic cough

• Suspicious findings on chest X-rays or CT scans

• Diagnosis of lung infections or tumors

• Airway blockages or foreign body removal

• Evaluation of hemoptysis (coughing up blood)

• Collection of lung tissue or fluid samples (biopsy, lavage)
