Vital staining in fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
The authors report on the results obtained using vital staining in fiberoptic bronchoscopic investigations. Vital staining is performed during normal fiberoptic bronchoscopic investigations under local anesthesia. The method has proved very sensitive for cancerous and precancerous lesions of the bronchial mucosa.
