The Atrium: Bronchoscopy
In this month’s episode of The Atrium, Dr. Alice Copperwheat explores bronchoscopy with expert guest Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse. They discuss indications, contraindications, types of bronchoscopies (flexible versus rigid), and the benefits of utilizing the rigid technique over the flexible technique. They also discuss the fundamentals of bronchoscopy—equipment, preprocedural checklists, and positioning—details on how to perform the procedure, complications, and the future of bronchoscopy.
Don’t forget that The Atrium is a monthly podcast presenting clinical and career-focused topics for residents and early career professionals across all cardiothoracic surgery subspecialties. Watch for the next episode featuring a discussion with Dr. Valerie Rusch.
