Test & procedure
Bronchoscopy & thoracoscopy
A pleural disease unit, no operating theatre.
What used to mean an operating theatre and days in a metro-hospital ward is a scope here — pleural disease has its own unit.
What happens
Bronchoscopy looks inside the airways and takes samples; thoracoscopy looks into the space around the lung to diagnose and treat fluid.
How to prepare
Fasting and medicines are explained at booking. Blood thinners need to be discussed first.
