Flexible bronchoscopie in pediatrics. A useful therapeutic and diagnostic toolOne hundred and thirty seven flexible bronchoscopies done in 121 patients from april 1995 to mcy 1997, are analysed. The ranee of ace was 20 days ~c 15 veers, mean 4,3 years. Seventy per cent of them were made with diagnostic purposes and 23% cs therapeutic procedure. Principal clinicai mdicctio-s were athelectasias, bronchoalveolar lovcge [BAL], stridor anc evaLaNon of chronic trac-eostony. Twenty two of the diagnostic procedures were indicatec in congenital disease of the upper a'rwcy, most of then associated to strccr, berg larinccma'acia the mos* frecjent (50%). BAL was useful! fo' oac ; enclogic diagnosis, hemosiderosis and chronic aspira'ion. Among patients with adquired diseases of the upper a'rway, bronchoscopie lead to a right diagnosis ir 90% or t^ern, and allowed to make recomendations for furt n er work up. When used as c therapeutic procedure, bronchoscopie showed good results in 'esolving athelecasias (63%|, foreing body cspira'ion, sealing bronchopleural fistulas, hard intubation and resection of subg^cNc granucma.
