Abstract
Flexible bronchoscopy become the gold standard in pediatric pulmonology for evaluating airways and lung diseases. This invasive procedure has diagnostic and therapeutic significance. Children, following their age, have anatomical, physiological and psychological differences, which determine the necessity of performing flexible bronchoscopy under analgosedation or general anaesthesia. Careful preoperative preparation and a conversation with the parents, the child and the bronchoscopist are crucial for the creation of a safe anaesthesia plan and minimizing the possibility of complications.
