ABSTRACT
Introduction: bronchoscopy since its emergence has allowed to expand the diagnostic possibilities of respiratory diseases, in lung cancer it allows to reach a diagnosis quickly and safely. Objective: to characterize bronchoscopy as a diagnostic method of lung cancer, its complications and most frequent findings, in the Pulmonology department of the General Hospital “Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso”from Santiago de Cuba during the years 2016-2018. Method: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with the data obtained from patients who underwent diagnostic fibrobronchoscopy during the years 2016-2018. The universe consisted of 172 patients with suspected lung cancer and the sample was made up of the 165 patients who underwent the procedure. Variables such as diagnosis of malignancy, bronchoscopic techniques, complications and bronchoscopic findings were used.Results: 103 patients were found to have a diagnosis of malignancy, bronchial biopsy showed 61.8% positivity, 94.6% of the patients had no complications and mucosal redness represented 82.4%. Conclusions: the bronchial biopsy was the procedure that had the greatest positivity, the complications were minimal in relation to the number of bronchoscopies performed and the mucosal redness was the most frequent finding.
