Indications, Clinical Utility, and Safety of Bronchoscopy in COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Bronchoscopy in patients with COVID-19 results in a significant change in patient management. Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 seems to be low with consistent use of appropriate personal protective equipment by health-care workers. Therefore, bronchoscopic evaluation should be considered for all diagnostic and therapeutic indications in this patient population.PMID:34848547 | DOI:10.4187/respcare.09405
