Aim A prospective study was undertaken to assess the diagnostic value and therapeutic usefulness of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in the critically ill. Method Fifty-six bronchoscopies were performed in fifty patients. Biochemical, radiological, microbiological and clinical assessments were made before and after each procedure. Results Eighteen fibreoptic bronchoscopies were performed for therapeutic indications (32.1%) of which ten (55.6%) yielded a useful outcome. Thirty-eight bronchoscopies were for diagnostic purposes (67.8%) of which 22 (5 7.9%) were clinically useful. Broncho-alveolar lavage was performed in twenty-eight cases (50%) and it led to a clinically useful diagnosis in 17 (60.7%). There was no major complication. A subgroup of patients was defined (persistent left lower lobe collapse or consolidation following thoracic or abdominal surgery) in whom fibreoptic bronchoscopy usually did not yield a useful outcome. Conclusion The use of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in the Intensive Care Unit, in combination with the technique of broncho-alveolar lavage, results in a clinically useful outcome in the majority of cases. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy is an effective and safe diagnostic and therapeutic tool in critically ill patients.
