Role of Bronchoscopy in Emergency Department in Persistent Acute Type II Respiratory Failure

Difficulty in ventilation despite pharmacological treatment in mechanically ventilatedpatients should be addressed to avoid further complication. This includes physical assessment of the airway via bronchoscopy as a diagnostic procedure. Depending on the findings of initial visualisation, further manoeuvres can be initiated as therapeutic measures. The usage of bronchoscopy by emergency physician and residents should be considered in acute setting of emergency department (ED) as soon as ventilatory issues arise to promptly mitigate the problem.
