Features: The fiberoptic bronchoscope (), abbreviated as fibrobronchoscope, is being increasingly widely used in respiratory and other fields. It plays a very important role in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment of certain diseases, and rescue of critically ill patients in the respiratory system. Since its clinical application in 1967, fibrobronchoscope has been widely used in large and medium-sized hospitals in China, and even in some smaller hospitals, accumulating considerable experience. In response to the domestic application and development of fibrobronchoscope, we have invited experts with rich experience in its application across the country to jointly write this book. The book is divided into 6 parts and 46 chapters. The first part is General Principles; the second part covers common techniques for fibrobronchoscope examination; the third part presents classification under fibrobronchoscope and of common diseases; the fourth part discusses the routine application of fibrobronchoscope in the respiratory field; the fifth part covers the application of fibrobronchoscope in other fields; and the sixth part addresses related issues of fibrobronchoscope examination. The book has the following characteristics: First, strong practicality, as the content is written based on clinical practice, drawing on the clinical experience of the authors and the relatively mature experiences summarized by scholars at home and abroad. Second, it is comprehensive and systematic, focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and rescue of respiratory diseases using fibrobronchoscope. Third, the book is accompanied by a large number of color and black-and-white images, enabling readers to better understand the characteristics of various diseases under fibrobronchoscope. This book is a crystallization of collective wisdom, with most of the contributors being renowned experts with expertise in this field.
