Experience with Bronchoscopy?
I have never had a bronchoscopy, but I know that for some with PH, especially those that have had lung transplants, this is something that is done almost routinely. I am getting my first one done tomorrow to see if there is trachea involvement and if the trachea or bronchial tubes are being compressed from my vascular ring. This test will help surgeons determine how my upcoming surgery (to fix the compression of my esophagus because of my aorta) will be done.
If you have any experience with getting a bronchoscopy, what is it like? Honestly is much appreciated so I know what to expect from those who have been through it. Can you give me any tips for managing the stress around getting one done? I have to have a conscious sedation and can’t be sedated too much because I have to be able to follow commands during it.
