Hypoxemia, flexible bronchoscopyAbstract
Flexible bronchoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and theraputic procedure in pulmonary medicine. Although generally safe, it may be associated with hypoxemia, particularly when performe without sedation. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with hypoxemia during unsedated flexible bronchoscopy.
