[Fibre optic bronchoscopy in children (author's transl)]. 1977

J Hühnerbein, and W Thal

Since 1974 the authors have used fibre optics of Olympus, Tokyo, particular the models BF Type 4B and BF Type 3A applicable for children. Even in children, tube bronchoscopy can not at all be replaced by fibre optic bronchoscopy. By fibre optic bronchoscopy diagnostics may by improved considerably. Laryngotracheoscopy proved to be of special advantage in newborns with the sign of stridor. Fibre optic bronchoscopy should be used as a supplementary procedure in bronchological centres for children.
