Abstract
There is considerable interhospital variability in the practice of flexible bronchoscopy in children. The present report aims to provide some recommendations that are supported by the Spanish Society of Pediatric Pulmonologists. We review the indications, contraindications, equipment, setting and personnel involved in flexible bronchoscopy, as well as the pre-procedure preparation of the patient, medications, post-procedure monitoring, complications, care and maintenance of instruments, and informed consent. These recommendations may be adopted, modified or rejected according to clinical needs and constraints.
