Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic test that is used to examine the lungs and the airways. In this procedure, a thin and lighted tube called the bronchoscope is inserted in the mouth or nose moved down the throat, windpipe, and then into the airways. Bronchoscopy may feel uncomfortable, but it may not be painful. Some of the risks of bronchoscopy are bleeding, infection, perforation in the airway, and irritation of the airways.
