Vital Staining in Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy

Endoscopy, 1986
The authors report on the results obtained using vital staining in fiberoptic bronchoscopic investigations. Vital staining is performed during normal fiberoptic bronchoscopic investigations under local anesthesia. The method has proved very sensitive for cancerous and precancerous lesions of the bronchial mucosa.

Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy for Refractory Cough

Chest, 1991
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) has a low yield in the diagnosis of chronic cough (greater than 3 weeks) in unselected patients. We assessed the yield of FB for cough during a four-year period in patients with nonlocalizing chest roentgenograms who were refractory to diagnostic efforts and empiric bronchodilator or antitussive therapy.
