支气管镜发展史

The history of evolvement of bronchoscope

从1897年支气管镜问世至今,其发展经历了传统硬质支气管镜时代、纤维支气管镜时代和现代电子支气管镜、纤维支气管镜、电视硬质支气管镜共用的三个历史阶段。支气管镜技术在胸外科、呼吸内科等领域发挥着重要的作用。我国支气管镜技术起步略晚,但经过几代人的不懈努力已经接近或达到国际先进水平。支气管镜设备和技术的发展使介入性肺病学作为一门新兴学科诞生了,新技术的出现和进步必将使支气管镜技术在介入性肺病学领域中发挥更加重要的作用。

Since 1897, the year when the bronchoscope was invented, the instrument have experienced three stages of evolvement, namely, the period of conventional rigid bronchoscope, the period of flexible libreoptic bronchoscope as well as the period of the combined use of electronic bronchoscope, broncho fibrescope and video - assisted rigid bronchoseope simultaneously. Bronchoscope plays a significant role in the fields of thoracic surgery and respiratory internal medicine. In China, the technique started rather late, but after years of hard work, it has approached or reached the international advanced level. The blossoming new techniques and their upgrading make bronchoscope play an even more important role in the interventional pulmonology.
