👉 A bronchoscopist is a medical professional who performs surgical procedures on the respiratory system, specifically in the bronchi (airways). They use specialized tools and techniques to remove airway tissue or blockages that can cause breathing problems, such as asthma or pneumonia. Bronchoscopy, a common procedure used by bronchoscopists, involves inserting a thin tube into the bronchioles (tiny air passages) of the lungs to examine the structure and potential for cancerous growths.
