Exam mapping & scope
This chapter maps to the AABIP/IP board domains covering diagnostic bronchoscopy for central and peripheral pulmonary lesions and diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPILD). We synthesize technique selection, step-by-step performance, troubleshooting, safety, and evidence for: (1) conventional bronchoscopic sampling (forceps biopsy, brushing, washing, transbronchial needle aspiration [TBNA]) and (2) transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) in ILD.
