FLEXIBLE BRONCHOSCOPY:
1. evaluate airway 2. remove foreign bodies or retained secretions 3. diagnose pulmonary disorders 4. bronchoalveolar lavage 5. diagnose and stage bronchogenic carcinoma 6. lung biopsy 7. evaluate hemoptysis (though not very effective since blood gets everywhere!) *contraindicated if severe bronchospasm or tendency to bleed RIGID BRONCHOSCOPY: 1. massive bleeding 2. removal of large obstructing objects → foreign bodies, blood clots, broncholiths, tumors 3. lung biopsy 4. laser therapy |

|
induce sweating by placing pilocarpine on skin, placing electrode over it, and applying weak electrical current → clean area → collect sweat for 30 minutes with filter paper → measure chloride
