Preface :

Bronchoscopy has become an essential part of modern medicine. Recent advances in technology have allowed integration of ultrasound with this tool. The use of lasers along with bronchoscopes has increased the therapeutic utility of this device. Globally an increasing number of pulmonary specialists, anaesthesiologists and thoracicsurgeons are using the bronchoscope to expedite diagnosis and treatment. The current volume on bronchoscopy adds to the vast body of knowledge on this topic. The contributions from around the world cover the breadth of this field and include cutting edge uses as well as a section on pediatric bronchoscopy.

This was a tough job for me as an editor of the book, since the authors wrote vast and extensive chapters . It was a great experience. I would request readers to review the book and suggest areas for modification or further topic additions for future versions. Every care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of information and authors are aware of the strict rules against plagiarism. The book is divided in various sections in order to make it easier for the beginner, as well as the advanced reader to have a rapid overview of this topic. The section on pediatric bronchoscopy highlights issues specific to children that are recognizably different from adults, including airway anatomy, anesthesia considerations and the emerging field of diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures in  this  age group. A major indication for bronchoscopy in infants and young children continues to be evaluation for congenital airway malformations, and both common and uncommon disorders
are reviewed with illustrations in this text.

As a pulmonary and critical care physician it has been fulfilling to see the chapters on special areas like bronchoscopy in bronchiectasis as well as in the intensive care unit. Practical uses like managing and
monitoring the airway during percutaneous tracheostomy performance has an entire chapter devoted to this evolving topic. In summary, this book is a great testament to the power of collaboration and is a superb resource for doctors in training, ancillary team members as well as practicing healthcare providers who have to perform or arrange bronchoscopy or the similar procedures. I would like to sincerely thank my associate editor Dr Samiya Razvi for ensuring the pediatric section to integrate well into this comprehensive book. I am
grateful to InTech as well as Jana Sertic, my coordinator, for her patient yet firm requests for expediting this book. I hope the readers will find this book enjoyable for reading and that they will recignize a contemporary source of knowledge in our book.
