👉 A bronchoscope is a surgical tool used to access the bronchi, which are the airways in the lungs. It allows doctors and other healthcare professionals to view the inside of the lungs and assess the health of the respiratory system. The bronchoscope includes a flexible tube that passes through the throat and into the lung cavity. This allows medical professionals to see what is going on with the airway, which can help diagnose conditions such as pneumonia or asthma.
